Dinosaur Project Concept Sketches 2






Dinosaur Project Concept Sketches 1

I scanned some of the concept sketches I did for my group's Dinosaur project. They are very rough ideas.

Pteradons and some dudes:Some general concepts, including a rough sketch of a "jungle" area:A whoooole bunch of sketches of the raptor character:Sketch of a Styracosarus and his size in comparison to his rider:A more detailed raptor head. None of these are scientifically accurate at all, haha:This is all I have for now. The scanner I was using at the school started acting all weird. I have some more that I'll scan tomorrow, hence the "Part 1."

Skateboard Design for Illustration Class

Sorry for the lack of updates. Getting sick caused me to fall behind on my schoolwork, and it basically took me until now to get caught back up.

Anyway, for my Illustration II class we had to make a design for a skateboard, by painting directly onto an actual skateboard deck. My theme was Mexico City, using a "modern" Aztec style. Um, it was fun?There's an unseen detail to it. Last semester I mixed black light sensitive paint in with a project I did for a class, because the theme of the project was a song/band whose era went with the blacklight theme. A couple of my classmates told me to bring that back just for fun, so here is how the skateboard appears under blacklight:

I apologize for the poor photo quality and the shoddy photoshop splicing on the blacklight version. I didn't have the time to take better photos before it was due for class.

Discovery World and MIAD Collaboration

On Friday the Milwaukee science museum named "Discovery World" invited MIAD students to come and decorate a blank wall in their building. Discovery World and MIAD have a partnership, which includes free admission for all MIAD students into the museum.

Personally, I love the place. Whenever I am stressed out I visit their aquariums. Their exhibits are interesting and top notch.

In a section of the building dedicated to the study of electricity, Discovery World has an electric eel on display in a tank. I decided my contribution to the wall would be a painting of this eel, since I think he's pretty dang cool:Please note that he is not completely finished in this photo, and that the area around him had not been painted yet.

I didn't get as many photos of the event as I would have liked to, but here is a general overview of the work in progress:
I think its wonderful that Discovery World would present an opportunity like this to us, and I hope that they continue to do so in the future!
