I moved into a new apartment exactly a week ago, with my good friend Liz, who is also a GD major at MECA. heres a picture of the building, its right downtown Portland and I'm connected to the building Bullmoose Music is in, i never thought I'd live that close to a BM Music store, so thats pretty awesome!
I also worked today, heres a picture of my work, and what i see everyday. It was sunday so no one really comes in.
These are a few illustrations I did tonight for by buddy Peter's book cover for his thesis, I dont really know anything about his book or what its about, all I know is he asked me to draw that type of tree which I cant remember the name of, and a guy hanging from his feet, I did one that turned out very illustrated, and then i did one that was just a sillioutte. "spelling?"
Throughout the last semester I've had a class working in David Wolfe's studio, which is basically a studio full of older printing press machines. It's teaching us how things were printed before the computer and sending things off to printers, we're coming up with images and type and printing them ourselves by using font drawers and laying out our own type letter by letter and casting them in lead. It takes a great amount of time to do all this, alot more than it would to just design somthing and print it out, but somehow its much more satisfying doing it yourself.
I made a business card today in his studio, and the image below the business card is an emblem type thing I'm going to use for a screen print I want to do that I;ve been putting off doing becuase I'm very low on money at the moment. It will get done though. There are some other things we've been working on in his class, but there moetly just text related. maybe i'll post them later.
