Palette change for Brownie

When I talked about this piece with my thesis adviser, Bill Thompson, he suggested a color shift. So, I'm trying out this cooler palette of greens and blue grays. I think it's an improvement! Thanks Bill!

Pro bono work

I've been working on a poster and invitations for a fund raising event. I love the combination of the graphic design and illustration. Here is a first draft of the poster. My daughter was the photo reference for the fairy, the other reference was shot at the park.


The Pasadena Assignment

While in Fort Worth, Texas for my MFA week we presented our assignment from our trip to Pasadena last November. We had a lecture at the beautiful Castle Green which is a historical venue for filming, weddings and events. Also, there are apartments in the building. I managed to just catch a shot of a Castle Green dweller as she whisked out the door to walk her dog. I thought the contrast of the old Victorian architectural details and the funky manner of dress was especially interesting. And, moving from that darkness to the California light is a breath of fresh air.
