Knitting Factory Poster

Very happy with the project!

I was able to accomplish everything I wanted; having the free standing piece, and the Knitting Factory poster separated. This project gives me the confidence to do it again. The watercolor pencils worked fantastically; I had more control using them with the pen and ink, and the colors really popped. It is safe to say, a good time was had by all.

On The Road To Graceland!

Last semester one of the teachers I respect said my pieces were starting to look “too cleaned up”. I listened to what he was saying. About that time I was put on some new meds for my trimmers. I was concern that was going to affect my art work too. And then I got the watercolor pencils.

It was a good time for change.

This piece was all hand rendered, not put together like some of my other stuff. The watercolors worked well for direct application. Pen and ink was good, still some shakiness. I’m happy with the piece so far. The whole point of this is to have a free standing piece that doesn’t have any text on it. It will have text on it soon because it’s supposed to be a poster for The Knitting Factory Concert House. I can do that stuff by hand and marry it all together in Photoshop in its do time.

Stay tuned.

First picture is the first draft, Second picture is pretty much the free standing piece . Next comes all the music stuff.

Trees To Meet You

Have You Heard Of Watercolour Pencils?

I got these watercolor pencils for graduation, just getting around to using them. So far, I like them. Another good turn of events, I've moved near a really cool park ~ full of trees to practice on.

Beth's Trees: Second Draft

Second draft of pages 1 and 2 + last page. Call me.

For Beth: A Work In Progress

Take some notes, call or email me with your thoughts. For me; the trees in front can have fruit on them, The yellow sky is different. That may be a good or a bad thing. The redwood in the back stays pretty much like it is in the draft.

The Fix Coffeehouse 4.15.11

Workings on these projects has given me a large portfolio. Out of all of the pieces, this one has become one of my favorites. The concept of Brian’s Great Grandfather is tying together well. I see a great Album cover, T-shirts, etc. in the future.

Two designs. One in the Filmore tradition; fill up all the space and don't give your eye's a moments rest. The second a more traditional county fair type.This style focuses on the picture more than the type. Nice too. Both work for me. Both have been printed up and are being used. You can take your pick.
