Thesis Finals Part 1

My first post of thesis. Digital Mock-ups! They look so real, oh my!

Printing Coasters in Styleeeeeeee.

And they said you can't letterpress coasters on Vandercooks. Okay, well that isn't exactly true. If you were to use the Vandercook as it was made, no you cannot letterpress on Vandercooks because the grippers are too short and it wouldn't make it to the image on the press bed. However, you can place the coaster on top of your image and remove all the packing (because coaster stock is thick) and then print it. Well, I sort of did. I made lino cuts of my images and linos are only .875 inches tall (approx) I buffed it up a tad to maybe .89 or .9 just before type high (.918) and like that, I had coasters with some impression. Not a lot, but some.
It's kind of nifty. And they are at Art Market Illustration table. For 5 dollars. Check them out.

Expect an etsy in the very near future.

Thesis Patterns

Finally! I have some work from my thesis to show.

Where in the World is Thesis?

Oh, it is here. I just haven't posted yet. I'm hoping by Thursday I will have some loverly photos to share of some devious things I've been up to.

In the meantime, I have some Illustrating the Edible! For our first assignment, we had to create a piece illustrating a recipe for the blog turning book They Draw and Cook but, it also had to emphasize memories. So, here it is!

Find Your World Class Match!

This semester I am taking Graphic Design and I have to say, I'm having a ball so far.

Our project was to create a speed dating name tag that just showed more than simply one's name. For mine, I went under this idea of traveling.

And here are some shots of the actual nametag and my wonderful sister who posed for it.

Here's a pattern I completed mid August for Thesis. I will post more details for thesis as they come together.

Here's to a new school year, cheers!

Playing with Illustrator

I want to do more with illustrator. I like it. These are just screenshots of what I was playing with. I'm liking the colors though.
