So I've been working on this idea which is to create narrative patterns. I have discovered that I think life is a series of ebbs and flows, an S pattern of ups and downs, and people and environments and circumstance have their stellar ability to repeat themselves to a damn near predictable fashion. This is a first of many. What do you guys think? I'm curious about the style as well as its effectiveness as both a pattern (aesthetically) and as an illustrative narrative concept. XOXO!!

Chi-wowzers! A Puppy Post!

I've been meaning to make a new post, but since I've been working on some fairly time-consuming projects (branding for my friend's Esty site + trying to wrangle Dreamweaver into submission so I can finally finish the epic and overly-complicated redo of my own website) I don't really have any new 'work' work to show just yet. I have been doodling a lot lately though, so I thought I'd share some of them from time to time (providing they turn out well).

Two weekends ago, I went to Jacksonville to visit a friend and get web advice. I figured I probably wouldn't be able to come back up for her birthday next month, I made her a 'Happy (Almost) Birthday' cake and stuck this in it as a decoration since she and her boyfriend have 2 chihuahuas. It's prismacolor markers and Uni-Ball pen on a standard office note card. Surprisingly, note cards take markers pretty well with little/no color bleed. The more you know, right?

DONE!

ha HA! SUCCESS!! Here it is, I'm rather very happy with this one. Any final crits? I had only one specific question. My original drawing has Jon in the left side of the composition. I provided a fliped version, better? Thanks guys!

Sketch 2

Here is sketch numba two. Took me too long to sit down and do it, but here ya go. I want to move away from the super render of the first piece and gear this series more stylized and animation like. (like the entirety of all my other stuff.) Thoughts please!
