These are just a couple of things that I have been working on for classes. The pie was a painting technique exercise and the second was an in class assignment we had a list of words to combine and about 2.5 hours to do it in.
This was a "mini" assignment from C.F. Payne's class as a study of Bernie Fuchs technique. All I had to do was take a segment of one of his earlier pieces (right) and copy it as best I can (left) I used acrylics and guache, so it isn't quite his way of working... But I was still happy with how it turned out. It's due tomorrow, along with everything else under the sun. Thursday's are stress monsters.
The page layout had to have hand drawn type in it so the headline on that was all drawn and inked by hand.
My money is on the bottom Rasputin cover I think. It's a bit dark showing him drowning...BUT when nothing else will work. I am really feeling like the type is still kinda weak on all of them. Tweaking is a must, but I feel like they are going in a strong direction.
Have you ever eaten calamari? Well what if the tables turned...That wasn't really the thought behind this first idea, but i guess you could take it there. I got a few planks of wood and have been trying to think of something good to put on them. Finally I decided to do a collection of things similar to this one here. I'll post them when I finish them.
