Craft Fair

In preparing for an upcoming craft fair, I have been practicing my book-making and pen and ink techniques. Here is a set of cards I made with ink pens; and a book using a chain stitch binding.

Cards

A baby card I did for a family friend. I have always liked the simplicity of Classic Pooh characters and their color palettes. Therefore, I did a rendition of them for a baby shower card.

More Books

Since my class on book making, I have been doing some experimenting on my own. These are mostly created with different papers and binding techniques, but a few have my artwork on them too.

Book Making

Some samples of what I've been working on in my latest class. We are making books in a variety of bindings and applications. This example is my altered book. I took the story of Little Red Riding Hood and altered the story a bit. It is an accordian fold book with the well-known version on the front side of the pages and the wolf's version running parellel on the opposite side. Both versions finish with an explosion of fur and red fabric.

Some Storyboarding

A scene from my short film, "Fence Friend," completed during junior year.

More Backgrounds

Backgrounds

I thought I would post a background I've been working on. It began with a black and white layout designed by Ron Pagenkopp that we needed to color key. Here is my prep work:

And then the finished piece, using acrylics:
