WIWT #2

This is what I wore a while ago to work! The sweater has my favorite animal on it.  LLAMAS!!!
Here.  Have a llama.

I was having kind of a bad day today so I thought I would experiment in photoshop.  It's nice to take a break from illustrator once and a while.

Sample graphics

I've been working on some sample graphics for my portfolio.  It's been a nice chance to pace to work on some handwritten fonts and creating something other then cute animals.  

WIWT #1

I've been really inspired by a lot of fashion blogs lately and wanted to start doing some what I wore today drawings...mostly because I am not at all photogenic, but I like to draw! Sometimes I just dress like a bum but there are a few gems here and there.

I wore this recently to a Orlando meet up I attended with my friends.  I was so proud to find that cloud print dress and even more excited to wear it.  It's a great addition to my collection, which consists of star print dresses...the obsession started on my last trip to Japan!  

I am a little bit behind on making art, it's been difficult to find the time.  But I'd love to draw these on a regular basis if possible.  Wish me luck!

Print spotting

I happened to check the Carter's website recently and I spotted my mermaid/sea creature print! It's not available for purchase just yet but I was so excited to see it that I just had to share! :D It's the first time I have seen my artwork used for something tangible.

EDIT: It's available now, just search 'mermaid' on the shop site ;)

Heres a close up:

Sleepy time prints

More sleepwear prints, yay! They're for sure my favorite thing to work on, I like to make my animals cute and goofy.  It's nice to explore different layouts and colors but my main goal is always to have fun with them!

I may also have a minor obsession with llamas and alpacas...

I simply can't resist their faces and buck teeth!

BONUS ROUND

A few random animal characters

Well hello again

I haven't really blogged in a loooooong time! I've never been much of a writer.  It's been a weird year filled with lots of new experiences and trial and error.  I interned for 10 months over in Atlanta and am overall very proud of my accomplishments thus far and it was awesome to live out a part of my dream.  I now hope there are new and better things on the horizon for me.  :) I'm going to try my best to actually update this thing with some of the projects I had been working on, I'd also love to reconnect with some fellow Ringling-ers!

Safari Time!

I wanted to create a cute safari friends print for my portfolio, I had a lot of fun with it! c:
