Frustration

The past few weeks have been pretty difficult. I injured my ACL in my right knee and had to go to the emergency room, thus forcing me to stay home and be unable to work. Therefore I'm currently unemployed (again). Plus I missed all of Illustration Week.

But on the bright side (if any) I've found more time to work on my portfolio as well as some personal pieces. This mixed media piece I did in my sketchbook pretty much sums up how I have felt these past few weeks. It's pencil, and acrylic on gessoed sketchbook.



Until next time...

Society of Illustrators Lecture

So last week I was asked to give a lecture at the Society of Illustrators regarding interning at the Society and what I have gotten out of it. I was accompanied by former interns and now illustrators, Jess Yeomans, and Johnny Dombrowski as well as current interns Kerry Campbell and Darci Shea.
We had a great turn out form dozens of college students. Hopefully my speech was helpful!


This picture was taken as I was speaking. I'm the one in the front wearing the plaid shirt. My head is tilted. That's how you know I was in the zone!
