Update n stuff

Hi! I haven't posted for a while so I thought I'd update you on what's happening in my life: I just got back from Houston for my best friend's wedding, which was emotional and amazing and so much fun all at the same time. I'm back at school for just a week and then I head off to Denver for spring break to help my parents move into their new house! So a lot going on!

This is something I did for Chris Buzelli's class. The assignment was to illustrate a movie, which we chose at random and I got Liar Liar, as you can see. I'm not a huge fan of the movie but was fascinated by Jim Carey's range of expressions so I chose to depict them as masks (which now that I'm thinking about it, could work for another Jim Carey movie).

Hope things are going well with you all!

Celebration

This image will be in Makeshift Magazine accompanying an article about difficulty to find fun things to do in Vancouver. Obviously these characters don't have any trouble having fun, and I had a lot of fun drawing them! Thank you to art director Stephanie Davidson!

Floral Pattern

Here's a pattern design from  the textile class I took this semester. One more semester to go then real life. Oh lordy.

Love is in the Air

My best friend is getting married in March, and I'm planning the bridal shower, which is super exciting but also stressful because I don't know the first thing about bridal showers. Let alone weddings. It feels strange that my friends are getting engaged--I feel like we just got out of high school. I can barely commit to a lipgloss. I can't imagine getting married anytime soon unless someone comes along  who looks like Paul Newman. Anywho, for now I'm a bridesmaid and this is the invitation for the bridal shower. This is the picture on the back, depicting my friend and her fiance in a lovey-dovey gondola ride. I'd show you the front with all the fancy text, but I don't want you crashing our bridal shower. No offense.

Website!

Hey world! I finally have a website!

Keepin' Austin Weird (eventually)

You have no idea how happy I am that the semester is over. Truly, you cannot comprehend. I'm ready to graduate, man.

I'm back in Colorado for Christmas break--skiing and getting fat and not doing art, which is nice. I am trying to get a website up, though, because that's how you Get Jobs and Impress Your Friends (that should be a book title--I got dibs). 

I made this reductive linocut in a printmaking class for the final. The assignment was to make a poster that advertised a place. I did Austin because I think I want to move there when I graduate. If you know me from Texas, your'e probably falling out of your chair (probably not, but in my head I imagine people have strong reactions to my life) because I was quite anti-Texas in my high school days. But Austin is the artsy/liberal mecca of the state and besides, rent is cheaper than New York (I eventually want to end up in NYC). Also, there are food trucks everywhere in Austin, which is like food in other places but better. Food trucks are essentially why I want to move back, let's be real.
