Re-Vision

Just pretend that last post never happened, here's a revision:

I'm not dead.

As far as I know, at least...

I always feel so silly about posting things that Jimmy has already seen, but I'll go ahead and put some stuff up for Travis's benefit.

"When I'm Old," a zine by MissSaraMichelleWood:















Matt had us do a bit of zine work...mine obviously has a very simple, fluffy theme, and I had some fun with the construction. Lace paper is the best, and I wish that I could just drape it over everything that I do. Mmmm.
In terms of revision, I already know that I'd like to lighten up the value to play up the sensibility of the pencil. Printouts make everything so dark and scary. Also, I'll be tracing those rounded boxes I've put over the text, so that I can keep the pencil thing going, as well as generally soften the look.

Here are a couple of color studies done for Mark's class:


It's to be an illustration of the quote, "Why is it so hard to be like the rest of the flock, John?"
I know that I have looooaaaaads of revisions to make, so just trust me when I say (hopefully) that it'll be vastly improved by next week.

Oh, and here are a few photos of Jimmy being cute:



He's fun to photostalk.

Anyway...the end. I'm tired.

While you were sleeping

Why not...

...post some sketches?
I'm in a particularly "unfinished" mood anyhow.
Sara's had her say of them so these are all you, Trav.
