Childrens Illustration "Summer" Finished!
11/17/11 10:23 PM
Finished up the "Summer" Piece. I'm really happy with this one. It was more of a challenge than I was anticipating. I had to try to maintain a certain level of visual consistency while illustrating a season that could be described as the opposite of the first one. So among other things I had to reinterpret the stark but vibrant palette from the "Winter" into something more lush and warm. (You can see the two pieces together here) I think it is pretty successful, can't wait to get started on the other two.

New Finished Illustration: Optimism in an Uncertain Economy
07/17/11 12:40 PM
I Finished the new illustration and I'm really happy with it. My biggest challenge was balancing the layers of cloud textures, cloud line work, etc. in the building reflections. In the end I had to sacrifice the textural work and reduce the opacity of the cloud line work to get it to read as reflections on mirrored glass. What do you think, did I hit the right balance?

Optimism sketch

Working on a new stock image on the theme of optimism in an uncertain economy. I've had this image of a mirrored-glass building reflecting clearing skies amidst storm clouds in my head for a while now. I started sketching on paper before inking it in Illustrator, it's going to take the final color and shading to make the "clearing sky" building stand out. Here is the sketch and the Illustrator linework version:

Detail/ Sons of Anarchy final
07/06/11 10:39 PM
Finished the Sons of Anarchy piece. Overall I'm happy with it. As a technical exercise I succeeded in pushing the level of detail too far- but this has helped me immensely in finding the point at which things break down within my style and more is simply more. I hope to incorporate some of the lessons I've learned here in the direction I take moving forward.

I included some detail images, these still are less than half the resolution of the original:
