congrats angela & lefteris
our good friends angela & lefteris are getting married! we’ll be at comicon during their nuptials next week but know that they will have a long, happy life full of love, together. ^_^
let’s stay in tonight + events
i have a busy weekend ahead! starting with a book signing at urban bazaar friday from 7:30p-10p – they also have a special display of mini prints in vintage frames and original work. on saturday i will be signing in the east bay at silk road from 12-3pm. i hope to catch you at one of these ^_^
have a wonderful weekend!
under drawing
i begin each illustration with an under drawing, like the one above. simple, clean lines. the final changes in small ways, but the line drawing is where i make the most mistakes and… play! i play with composition, storytelling, and focal point. when i bring the completed flat file into photoshop i begin to play with light, texture and mood. at each stage there are new challenges, and new elements are introduced.
but, what i love about illustration is that at each stage, that original line grows in form and shape… and, i fall in love with the image even more.
i’m still on break for a bit, but hopefully back soonish!
cross walking
i will be taking some time off to focus on other projects – i will still post, but more infrequently!
