long time for not posting but here are a few doodads until i upload sketches from a bunch of class stuff etc. the first one is from last year for one of the children's theater projects. that one was for the grinch but they didn't have the rights for the image of the iconic chuck jones animated grinch so it was interesting trying to say grinch without showing the grinch. then they found out they had no rights to it whatsoever and it fell through because they couldn't do the show.The second is a piece for the train station here in Lancaster that has some remodeling going on so they needed art to be blown up to 6' by 8' to cover 12 concrete barriers of the same size while they work on the train station. the 3/4 circle on the left and 1/4 circle on the right of the composition were adjoining elements that each piece had to have so that there was a common strand linking the pieces together like some weird mural. Obviously it had to have trains in it but the rest was open to whatever so i did a period piece on the civil war. It's the biggest painting i've ever done at 1' by 2' but the more i look at it the more i see everything that is wrong with it and never want to see it again. It was a good learning experience though.
The third was for my children's book illustration elective last year. I won't say the story i was writing for fear of prying eyes even though i doubt i will do anything with it for quite some time if at all but here is one of the paintings i thought didn't turn out so bad from it.
