first run of thesis images

As the title suggest, these are the first run of images for my senior thesis.  I'm basically adapting classic novels into beers.  Here is the first set of three.  These are going to go through significant changes from what they are now.  So be prepared to see these again. I know I don't normally use digital texture in my work but I needed to capture the aged paper feel I was going for, I'm probably going to print the final on yellowed paper, or yellow it myself, instead of relying on the texture.

The Catcher in the Rye

A Clockwork Orange

Memoirs of a Geisha

Story Board

This is the first part of a story board that I did for children's book illustration.  Of the four panels we did only one was to be taken to finish.  I absolutely love this guy, its probably my favorite thing I've done all year.  I'd actually like to take the other three panels to finish soon too.

Bistro Romano

The Bistro Romano has murder mystery dinner theater every Friday and Saturday.  Its a bit steep but I think would be fun to attend.  I decided to do a seasonal Halloween poster for them.

Event Poster!

I had to create an event poster this past week, I choose to connect it with cartooning and comics, and since SPX just happened; I decided to make the poster for SPX.  I've been told how cute this piece is.  I definitely think that my work is moving into that direction, in a good way.

Owl and the Grasshopper

For my children's book class, our first project was to illustrate the fable "The Owl and the Grasshopper."  The trick was we couldn't personify the animals too much and the scale had to remain the same.  We could also only do this in one image.  Mine illustrates the beginning of the fable when the Grasshopper won't let the Owl sleep because of his singing.

Global Warming Poster

One of my first pieces senior year, I'm extremely proud of this one.  We had to create a green project in whatever format or field we wanted.  I choose to do a global warming poster.  This year is off to a great start I hope to keep it up.

New COPOUT Comic!

Last friday we released our new COPOUT comics, this one featured my work as well as the work of James Kaminski.  Here is the first page of that comic,
