Bildung Art Submissions Flyer
Monday, April 23, 2007 3:51 PM
Sorry I don't have my own project today. Here's a flyer I made for art submissions for the cover of the Bildung Journal. It may not actually get distribution since the deadline is so close, so ehhh...
I tried to make it simple, yet eyecatching. At first I thought that I might have a paintbrush and some paint stripes running through it, but I figured that it might discourage people who are not painters. I figured that it might be best if I just did something that didn't suggest much of a medium to work with.
It is also probably going to have a few modifications to it. This isn't really a final product.

Mountains - WIP
Thursday, April 19, 2007 3:42 PM
I'm trying a watercolor-like composition today. It's not done yet. I'm still trying to figure out how to make the bamboo leaves look brushed in without it being too obvious. Here's how it looks like right now:

Final Eagle Grunge
Wednesday, April 18, 2007 3:41 PM
I wish I hadn't gotten Jade Empire... I have taken to playing whenever I'm by myself, ignoring my homework and blog. Blah. It's so hard for me to break away from RPGs. Makes me feel bad for laughing at people who play WoW. Anyhow...

Eagle Grunge - WIP
Saturday, April 14, 2007 11:13 AM
Sorry for my long hiatus... I procrastinated a little too much on my senior thesis and had to write a large bulk of it in the space of three days. Here's my stab at an abstract grunge piece:
It's not really done yet... or at least it doesn't feel like so. I'll probably work on it more later on when I get better and fresher ideas.

Lightbulb Photorealistic Montage
Wednesday, April 04, 2007 3:15 PM
I like doing photorealistic montages. They look visually appealing, but unfortunately don't have a sense of abstraction and ambiguity from a more abstract composition. Anyway, it was my project today.
The shadows don't look completely convincing, due mostly to the wall's unidirectional sunlight directed on it. Changing the direction of the shadows would have taken too long.

Web Icons #1
Monday, April 02, 2007 5:04 PM
I was just thinking about little icons that one could use to spice up a web page (or to use as a favicon). These are just some concepts I came up with.
Some of them don't really work. Some of them look OK. The idea is to keep them small and simple without being too abstract.
