Thesis!

Here's some more photos of my thesis pieces on my Flickr account!!

Yey, Thesis!! Thesis was so much fun and it feels so good to be a Ringling alum. I'm excited to start working on tons of personal projects as I seek out some more opportunities elsewhere. I will be moving up to Asheville NC with my friend Felicia. There's talk of a possible internship on Nantucket for the summer so that's another possibility..

..Most of these thesis pieces will be up for sale on my etsy soon! Get excited to build your own paper dolls! <3

In North Carolina!

I'm currently in Asheville, North Carolina for spring break and i'm surrounded by crafty people and stores full of handmade goods. It's pretty inspiring! Working on tons of new stuff for that art sale in April and also tons of school work as well [mostly thesis and book arts]. So look forward to a new post full of these new creations.

For now, some older pieces, recently re-shot:




And a better photograph of my little monster from the piece that got into Society.



Hope everyone's having a lovely March so far! It's only the 6th but mine's going stupendously. <3

Thesis!

My first little post about thesis. This is a bear. He's a circus bear. He is cute and jointed so he can move unlike other paper bears. We love him!

Illest of Ill piece!

Finally got my Illest of Illustration piece scanned!
Say Hello to Lil Red!

For your viewing pleasure!

We made some plush pillows today at work! We used hot glue, fabric, and tons of little accessories. Yay, crafty days!



I'll get some more stuff up here soon. I'm about to vacation to North Carolina to visit a dear dear friend, Felicia. I'll ideally have tons of stuff to show when I get back!

Here's another plush I had made for a friend awhile back, just now got some photos:



Going to make a ton more of these for Square One at the Ritz in Ybor in mid-april. Also more for Etsy!

A girl, a snake, a bear, and some randoms.

<3 She very soon realized that today may have not been the best day to wear her new mouse suit... <3



A cute little drawing I just found while piling up some things to burn from in my closet [ha!].



And a little something to share with hopes that everyone had a lovely valentine's day!

Society of Illustrators!

I got a piece into Society of Illustrators! I'm honestly so excited and honored.. Congratulations to all the other students nationwide who made it in! There's such a variety of work in the winning entries and i'm really impressed with everyone. Ringling got 19 pieces in as well which is definitely awesome!

This is the baby that made it:


Make sure you check out all the winning entries on the Society of Illustrators website!

Some stuff from Artist's Books. <3

Yessir, he's drowning. Don't worry though. He'll be saved!



I was always told not to tear my books.. Well mum, I shredded "Where the Wild Things Are."
Sorry!



3 book series. The second one is way interactive! You'll have to see it in person. The boombox-box DOES have real speakers with an mp3 hook-up for all of your dancing needs. Ohh yeah! <3<3 Completely illustrated, written, bound, covered, and created by me! I want to make things like this forever.




More soon! It's winter break and i'm STOKED to be able to work on some of my own things as well as to start thesis!

Finally got a new digicamm!

We had an open illustration assignment in my illustration class and I wanted to do an ill of a little boy scaring his closet monster. It was really time consuming but I LOVE how it came out. So so so cute. All the little toys were so much fun to make and I especially like the little hanger hanging from his closet doorknob. The monster has posable arms andd cute lil hands.

I'm ever so happy to be reunited with a digital camera again. So be excited! I'll be posting all of my other 3d stuff i've been working on for the past 3 months over the next few weeks.

Thrift Store finds!

I love silhouette work. And I LOVE finding it at Good Will!
Check it;


From my phone, so sorry for the quality..

I have TONS of stuff i'm dying to show you, but my digital camera broke a while back, so its been a little difficult as all i'm doing lately is 3D (sort-of?). Soon, promise! Lots of stuff from my bookarts class and our open assignment from my illustration class [inspired by RedNose], all sculpture-esque.
