My Postcard

Speaking of the robot theme that I've been on for the past few months, I decided to create my official postcard with them in mind. Painting this was a challenge; I had an especially hard time with the colors, though I feel that the composition is quite nice.


Here's the back of the postcard. You'll notice that I've recycled my piece from earlier, as it fits this particular card perfectly. Oh, and that address is old, in case anyone was wondering. Also! You can find one of these right here in Savannah, in the bathroom of Gallery Espresso along with dozens of other artists postcards!


SCAD Bus Wrap Robots

Woah. I'm officially graduated from SCAD as a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration, and I've been very busy moving into my new apartment in Savannah, as well as looking for and working a part time job. So I'm finally trying to keep my blog up to date. Well that's only partially correct; the overhead design label on this site has been redone to match my current marketing theme, but I'll post some recent work that I've done in my final weeks as a SCAD student. Do you like the red robot guy as my logo? 

Speaking of robots, our third assignment in the Advertising Illustration class was to design a bus wrap image, hypothetically for SCAD to use on their new vehicles. At this time, I had just finished the game Machinarium for the PC and the art style left such a heavy impression in my mind that I had to tip my hat in its' favor with this piece. We had to design both the side, and the back of the bus, and this is what I ended up with.

Side art:



Back art:



And here's the final product, with the art wrapped onto the bus templates, the SCAD logo, and a few words that were required to be placed somewhere on the vehicle. Fun fact, I seem to have messed up somehow on the dimensions, having not included the bumpers in my calculations, so I ended up stretching the art on the side panel in order to fully fit the entire side of the bus.


Seriously guys, go download and play Machinarium right now and you'll see what I mean.
