FINALLY got some work done on the mural designs I'm gonna be doing for the salon. Here is a sketch I worked out last night. Still contemplating things I want to tweak...colors, design elements, etc.

Here's the first, once I sketch the second out, I'll paint the both of them with acryllic, and then onto the walls, once I'm satisfied with my ideas!

Flourishes!

Got another project to work on from Alex...just some simple signage, but I wanted to do something that was gonna have some real fun flair to it...and since he's going for an 1800s-ish (the 'ish' gives me a LOT of liberty here) visual scheme, I wanted to play with some flourishes, but incorporate the steampunk vibe we're also trying to go with...ergo, the gears and cogs. I'm finally starting to get a feel for Illustrator, and that makes me happy!

Here are some mockups:




In other news, I finally got my Blackjack II working (OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!) and can not WAIT to take it for a spin. Also (finally) picked up Lost Odyssey, so I'm preparing myself for the first 4-disc XBOX 360 game yet.

So, I've been really lazy lately...and been getting a little depressed because of it. The weather's starting to cool down, summer is starting to phase out (so soon!), and I need to get on the freakin' stick.

I HAVE, however, been making some money in my laziness! The "Emerson Institute of Style, a new salon opening up on Pike and Broadway is owned by my buddy Alex Garcia. I recently did the logo and animated thingey for his business page/the business itself, with much help and coaching from my buddy Jory (love you, dorling!).

Haven't been drawing much, and I think i'm realizing that that's part of my feeling depressed...I haven't been creating anything for any of my projects, and that just needs to get underway.

OH, also (okay, I guess I haven't been THAT lazy, I just haven't been drawing much), I did a photo shoot with my good friend Hillary. We're working on my model portfolio, and her portfolio as a whole, and these are some of the favorites from our shoot. Hopefully there should be more to come soon, before she takes off back to school!

It was a bit of a frustrating shoot for me, because she wouldn't let me be all smiley...just...give her some attitude...next round will include smiley shots...it must! Lemme know what you think!
