Somerset

Here's my final piece for the somerset show. It was so fun seeing those dresses, and I was so excited i rented the movie (Phantom of the Opera), and the dress wasn't even shown! There was a short clip of just the top. I was so sad cause the dress was gorgeous and I wanted to see how it moved. The chandelier is drawn from the movie, and I was inspired by Chuck Jones (he did looney tunes for awhile) for the background style. On the final print out I did some sewing on it with the machine, I'll scan that one in when I get it back!

Oil Spill

Here's a good scan of my painting "Oil". I still need to fix a few places with some touching up but over all this is pretty much finished and scanned in, yay!

LinoCuts

On thursday I took part in a demo on making linoleum cuts and making prints from them. It was led by the wonderful Francis Jetter! Check out her art here http://www.fjetter.net/. Well she showed some of her work and showed us her process, then we got to play with the linoleum. It was great because I hadn't done that since high school. The one problem I ran into is that I drew directly onto the linoleum and when I printed it since the face was in reverse it looked kinda wonky, but it gave the drawing such a different life. So here it is... oooh

The Left one is the print, and the right is the print in reverse which shows what the girl looked like when I carved it. It's really neat how different they are.

Posters

I had a couple of posters I've had to do over the past week.


One was for class and you had to do a photo montage. I think on this one i want to do some hand drawn type, because they don't mesh together.

This one was for our Illustration Potluck. I found the type in an old type book and copied it and the images are old 50's-60's cookbook images. I love those pictures because most of the time the meals are outrageous and the pictures look so gross because of the colors are over saturated and such.

Hope you like!
