One of my Dream Shoes

Sometime ago I did this pattern for a kids back to school product line. It’s really not my style but I really like this textile a lot.

So I wanted to see how the textile would look on a pair of Vans since I’ve been looking for some but not liking any I’ve found.

Jean Patou’s Joy

A project for Illustration 2 (now known as Concepts + Metaphors). A packaging redesign of Jean Patou's Joy perfume, which is considered the most expensive commercial perfume you can buy. For my redesign I wanted to gear the perfume to a younger crowd, so I thought more fashion editorial. I took one of the definitions of the word Joy (4. a state of happiness or felicity) and made is into a textile.




Later I added this print work that could be used as ads or the signs in the stores.

Screenprinting Illustration

So last semester or last year (can’t really remember when), I taught myself how to screenprint.

You might remember this illustration from a past post, but I used it for an illustration assignment for Illustration 2 a.k.a Concept + Metaphors that I’m taking this semester. The object of the assignment was to create an illustration based on the word LOST. Pair LOST with the word you drew from the envelope (my word was BAKERY). The illustration had to be Black and white + 1 color, I picked red.

Treat Yourself to Something

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!

A new illustration I did while looking at a fortune cookie ticket (quote: "Treat Yourself to something of quality. You deserve it.") and listen to the Big Rock Candy Mountain song.

I usually don't do illustrations using the computer (just the background is digital, the drawings are ink). The computer gives me too many choices. So I have a problem with making up my mind.

Which one looks good?

Untitled Illustration Design

One of my favorite illustrations. It shows my illustration style the best. Simple, sketchy line work, white background, with color here and there.



I use this illustration in many design applications, here are two.
