JAWS Inspired works

Here's another piece inspired by the movie Jaws. Movies are a great source of influence and inspiration, and they've been helping me understand composition ever moreso than ever. I love how creepy my art is becoming this year.

Naked Paper Dolls... Oh Yeah...

So I'm taking this lifestyles illustration course, it's actually really fun because it's giving me the opportunity to create big quantities of work. Here are my paper dolls I made for it using digital painting. I think sometimes I'm more realistic when I use digital painting. The dude on the far right is super hot, my roomie described to me her ideal man, and I totally made her this hunk. Fun times.

Recent Work: Halloween Poster

I was assigned to create a poster for an annual Halloween party at MICA, the theme is Star Wars this year. I chose to do a really bloody gruesome, b-rated horror theme, referencing the biblical story Salome, to make it have even more of an interesting twist. Let's hope they choose it! After all, Halloween to me is blood and gore, spooky stuff, and monsters.

Oldies

This digital painting is totally from last semester but I'm super proud of it, i really love the color scheme, I've always loved muted, limited color in illustration

Hookers

This here was a piece I did based on a news article about a tax in Germany, forcing street workers to purchase a "ticket" in order to be permitted to carry out their business on the street in designated areas, with security included.

New Work

So here is an "impromptu" Illustration I had to create using the word, Xanthochroid, which means, a person with fair hair and light complexion, that sounds like such an evil word but I had to make a sketch and final in 3 hours, here is the end result. A little stagnant but not too shabby.

First Piece of the Semester!

I'm taking a fine arts class called Imaging from Movies, and this year I want to keep a focus on a horror/macabre theme for my work so that I can start to prepare for Senior thesis next year. Here are some images inspired from the classic horror movie Jaws, I was focusing on trying to stay away from common imagery of the shark itself, and instead focus on the images and scenery of Amity, it's kind of a creepy beach at night if you ask me. I did this with charcoal, which I hate. Charcoal is a weird medium, I think my next piece will be charcoal pencil... I like being controlling when it comes to my mediums....
