He’s a new man, so he deserves some new duds.
I am kind of in the planning stages of a new comic. It would be an update on the “Random Assortment of Super Heroes” comic that we did in high school. This character is based on Tim, for those of you who don’t know. I decided to give him a Daredevil vibe, because we are both big DD fans. Keep your eyes peeled for more character sketches.
For our latest digital illustration assignment, our teacher took our class to Spyhouse where we sketched the environment and took notes, and he bought our whole class a drink. He payed for everyone’s coffee! He’s such a cool teacher/guy. Anyway, here’s my final piece:
That’s a guy (I guess me) drinking my favorite drink, a Tokyo Rose, while I read a book titled “A fine piece of literature” by “an author you’ve never heard of”. I’m not a pretentious person, but most of the people that go there often are uppity like that. Then there’s fun shapes and flowers flying around, some pictures that I took are collaged in, and a drawings of buildings in downtown Minneapolis. I think I like the way it turned out, but it’s a bit too complex. I want to try to simplify a bit and get back to drawing a bit more realistically (the way the buildings are drawn). I think my illustrations are too cartoony right now, plus I think I’m using the flowers and swirls too much.
So, last Thursday we actually got to hang our work in Spyhouse! Way cool! I’ve always wanted to have somthing on the walls there and my dream has come true. It’s only up for a week, but it’s great to get some attention from the local scene. Emma and Katie’s pieces are hanging on either side of mine on a section of a wall (which we have entirely to ourselves might I add) and I’m really excited for all of us.
i got the harper’s internship!
in case you are not suitably excited, here is what that means:
a. i now have an internship for next semester when i am in new york city, so i can STOP WORRYING ABOUT ANYTHING. except where i will live. but whatever.
b. harper’s is a totally sweet magazine and i get my name inside it for all the months i intern there!
c. you don’t have to read any more katie-is-so-stressed-out-she-could-just-pee posts! because i officially have achieved the sole goal of my existence for the last 6 months!
SWEEEEEEEEET.
Oh, hello. I didn’t see you there. Come on in. Have a seat. What? No, I’m not doing anything important. Let’s have a chat…
