BFA madness is coming to an end

So I realize I've neglected any info to my bfa on my blog for 2 months now. Well here it goes.

The idea: Using art college as a safety blanket to break down all barriers, discover yourself and then face the real world.
The method: Originally was sought to use a projector, but the gallery space wouldn't allow due to lighting. Thus it turned into light/shadow boxes that project the shadow creatures onto the back of the images.

And after 2 months of working like crazy to get my senior bfa project finished, it feels great to say I have turned it in. But there's still hanging it in the gallery, which is later tonight so it's not over yet.
I'll make another post later with gallery pictures and photos of them hanging with the back lighting on it. Or maybe I'll just edit this one. Who knows.

Edit as promised:

Preface Piece Snippets

So just a test run of our BFA piece. Just something new I'm working with. Inspired by folklore or a little girl born of a snowball and the spring sun.

Still lots to edit, but it's a start. I think I'm sold on the background, not so much the figure nor the blanket.

Postcard #1 '12

Another promo postcard mailed out in bulk of 37.

Promo Packet '11

At the end of the year we set together promo packets to mail out. Here's a few cruddy snaps of the promotional packet using the nightmares in drowning visual essay. I plan on printing some more because I was quite fond of these.

Nightmares in Drowning

Pardon the lax in blogging. I kind of forgot about it after making a website. But I'm back so fear not! And I've come with updates and goodies and such.

So end of last semester we had a visual essay assignment. I chose my topic to be a morph of nightmares and drowning. Here are the results:

NPDA comps

{National Portfolio Day Association} comps

One of our assignments in Illustration is to get together with a designer and make a poster for the National Portfolio Day Assocation. The poster, if chosen, would be hung in highschools across the country.

{Left}
Concept: Stains
Stains being a form of imprint or memory and it's connection to the senses.

{Right}
Concept: Navigation
Using tacks on a corkboard/map to map the location. All the paths converge into NPDA (one location) and then disperse again.

There were 3 other design, but these 2 I had most of the hand in concept building and execution.
I have a thing for squiggly brackets right now. Just go with it.

Vissual Essay - Advertising/Childhood Obesity

My visual essay about the effects of advertising being a cause of childhood obesity.
