Overdue Update!

I haven't been updating this as much as I would have liked to these past few months, especially since November. I bought a house with my fiance and got married. I wish I had a few minutes to do some art in there, but everything was put on the back burner... cleaning, eating, sleeping... literally everything was put on hold.

I did get a few great projects done for the wedding! Thank you to Pinterest for an overwhelming number of ideas, projects and inspiration. I did a whole wine/chalkboard theme for the reception, and even a little bit for the ceremony. I had a great time doing the typography for all the signs. I should have a few on Etsy soon, including a listing for a custom sign like the one below.

I also put together a world landmark collage for a new version of the Untapped Cities site. Below isn't my final version, but one of the final drafts.

My sister received a custom scarf for being my maid of honor. I painted a message on it for her, (process photo below) which she can read when it's laid out, but the message looks like an abstract pattern when worn. (similar to this)

That's about all I managed to do between packing, moving, unpacking, and planning the wedding... all after I get home from a full day of work. 

What have you been up to these past few months?

more HDR

My two other attempts with HDR, shot at the same time as the red christmas light.  Not as dramatic and successful, but not half bad.  Better luck next time!

Merry Christmas :)

First attempt in HDR

I experimented a bit with HDR and photoshop  It took 3 exposures to get this. It's not all that great for an HDR shot, but it was my first time trying it out and wasn't really sure what I needed to shoot to get the merged effect I wanted.  I will definitely try it again, it was fun!

Kim & Jason

Back in September I did a photo shoot with my high school friend (and track team relay partner) for her and her fiancee.  Here is a sneak peek at one of the photos.

Blue Waves

This is just something I drew and I ended up not using for it's intended purpose, but figured add a little color and viola, a blog entry.  Not sure which i like more... with the black lines or without...

Experimentation...

More comics... this one is from my second day at work

After I scanned it and was fixing the brightness and contrast in photoshop (thank you crappy scanner) I decided to experiement and add color! It's nothing spectacular... but this was the first time I was trying it:

Done-zo!

YES!!!!! FINALLY!!! It's all done!! I submitted it to the Adidas art contest sponsored by deviantArt a few minutes ago.

As much as I wanted to be finished with this project, it is a 100% certainty that I will finish this blog and doodle in my sketchbook in bed. haha.... I can't get enough!

Have a great weekend all!

A dash of color!

I'm just working on the colors... so don't judge it! But I am experimenting with two options:

1. dark/vibrant background and light lines
2. light background and dark/vibrant lines

either way I am going to fill the doodle with mid tones.... hopefully I will have an answer for you tomorrow!

Stay tuned!
