completed pattern - ariadne, theseus, and the...
I’ve always wanted to do a design in this style (does this style have a name?).  Plus, getting to write a design description in spoonflower meant getting to shine the light on the rudeness of Theseus, ditching Ariadne for her sister after successfully using Ariadne to get in and out of the labyrinth.

in progress - the minotaur
In progress - a surface design for this week’s Spoonflower contest.  The theme is Greek Myths, and I actually stuck to a single one - the minotaur.  Featuring: The minotaur (looking both handsome and adorable), Theseus, Theseus’s boat, Ariadne, the ball of yarn she gives Theseus to get out, Dionysus about to eat some grapes, and a random assortment of a column, an arrow (for the...

Season 2 begins!  For the start of the new season of illustrations, and because of how excited I’ve been about the newly released posters for the show, I used a very AD-ish color scheme for this guy.

Elvis portrait - progress
This deadline was a great opportunity to work on my 3rd assignment for my pikaland course.  We had to use a piece from a museum as inspiration.  I chose this, from the Denver Art Museum: I am in love with the colors, and how something about it is so modern even though it was made in the late 1800’s.  So I decided to take the color scheme and use it for Elvis. Step 1 was to draw a basic...

(I finished this yesterday.  I’ve had lots of drawing to do for a real-life assignment, that’s taken priority and kind of pushed my blog to the back-burner.  But I won’t give this up! It’s been too good for me!!!) This is sort of a combo deadline finisher - it works for my pikaland assignment #2 (combining what I know with what I love) and my maurice sendak...

deadline #36 - editorial - maurice sendak
Category: Editorial Topic: Maurice Sendak and childhood - we ate it up, and we loved it Start Date: 5/9/12 Deadline: 5/13/12 A quote from Maurice Sendak, as seen in many news articles and facebook feeds since Sendak passed away yesterday: “Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this...

I didn’t finish this deadline as much as I finished two other patterns this week that I wanted to share… This is my finished illustration for my first assignment for my class on Pikaland.  I’m so happy with it…when I drew the leaves and colored them in, the pattern looked so dull, but once I added the shadows to make the pattern more three-dimensional, it was an instant...
