Late Nite Laundry experimental typography session #3. Continuing to develop illustration looks and techniques for my own self interest. This one was mostly vector based, using 3D extrusion overall and then creating the dimension one piece at a time. Later lighting effects were added in PS.

A conceptual illustration that poses the idea of where we are in the universe might be just a larger being beyond on our perspective. A chose to imagine that higher echelon as a sultry, dark woman of questionable intention.

Illustration that I created to play around with some new techniques. I gave this one a bit of a retro vibe. Maybe a viable fashion illustration technique but could use a bit more polish to really unleash its true potential.

The early work of an experimental process and technique to create a comic book layout. My intention was to simply create a powerful and dynamic graphic comic look that I could repeat to create enormous sized posters for my home. What I discovered through reading and research and the some of the principles I understood are represented here in this work. Ultimately a fruitful endeavor that garnered better results than I started towards. I was even able to incorporate a small, loose narrative in the panels. Thank you Mr. Eisner.

My first illustration created using a Wacom, with no reference. I just felt this one out. My main objective was to practice getting the right brushstroke down with the pen, which is a difficult task. I saw this through and this piece is the result of that effort. Depicts a woman with a cigarette perhaps at a fancy soiree.

My first attempt to create a narrative illustration after being heavily influenced by Marguerite Sauvage. Depicts female figures frolicking amidst candy, cupcakes and donuts raining from above and splashing into the cream like river that flows below. A challenging illustration that really tested the boundaries of my compositional skill.

An entirely vector based illustration  of a giant warlord protecting his province in feudal Japan. I took great pains to draw every single line and pay hommage to some aspects of my favorite early Edo prints from that era. For example, high vantage points, distance through layering, repetition and scale.

A practice piece that I created in 20 minutes for the upcoming Pixels of Fury battle in New York, for Shutterstock. The competition that invited 6 art directors from agencies around NY to create a digital piece that uses stock photography in 20 minutes in front of a large audience. This was practice for that event to test the limits of that time frame. Some steps I took: found evocative form of human pose, used brush to create soft mask and blend into darker background, layered on galaxy textures, created dimension by zooming certain parts of galaxy, added type, distressed type using wacom.

This piece was just one of the first I did to explore blending fashion and sports together for a clothing brand. The brand is trying to find a fashionable niche where athletic and sporty meets preppy and modern. This piece not only served as fashionable expression but it also helped to make what that brand might look like more of a reality.
