Foxes in Color!

Brer Fox

These are just the outlines of a fox--later I'll color him in. Doing this reminds me that I need a Wacom tablet. Clicking and dragging all those points with a mouse takes forever!

Fun with Illustrator

One of my favorite media that I got to play with in college was relief printmaking. I love the style and process of carving, mixing and rolling the ink and putting the paper through the press. Pulling the paper off the block and seeing your printed image for the first time is like seeing an old friend after 10 years--you're delighted, and there's always something, good or bad, that you didn't expect to see.

I don't have access to a printing press anymore, but I've started messing around with a similar style in Illustrator. It's not as much fun, but it's certainly easier and allows for a lot of exploration without the risk of a stray stroke ruining 10 hours worth of work. I'll be playing around with some classic animals from fables and oral tradition in this style over the next few days.

Ready, set....

Hey guys, I decided linking to a blogspot would be a lot easier than updating my entire website every time, so here you go! Soon to be updating 6 times a week...
