Digital Sketchbook:
The ins and outs of finding style. Some of these projects turned out quite lovely. Some of them, not so much. Every last one of them chronicles a journey, though….and sometimes you never know when looking over an old process leads to a new insight.
This creative process journal is an open sketchbook of every indulgence pursued, every half-baked idea sorta put together, and every little happy accident in one place. Take a journey from now back to the very beginning of each of these posts.

Flyingbago (A Space Vacation)
CHI - October 2011. I'm really new with Adobe Illustrator. I downloaded some reference art, and basically traced shapes to get the van look, and borrowed various aesthetic bits from 1950s era airplanes. Boom a flyingbago! I know. It's awful. Whatever.
I Watch You (Every Night) ART CARD
CHI - June 2011. Heavily influenced by the television style design of Adult Swim's on-air graphics, I did an art card doodle. Kinda creepy kinda clever.
Angrybot (At the Moment of Ascension to an Electric Dawn)
CHI - May 2011. I'm not really sure what this Angrybot is all about. I worked fast and free-form creating an aggressive and unsettling image. Whatever. I have no idea what I'm doing.
Old Is The New New
CHI - February 2010. These computer desktop wallpaper sentiments seemed clever at the time. But really, I just don’t know how typography works. Probably need to focus on that more. Anyway, let’s move on…
Concert Poster: Bite-sized Buddha
BTOWN - May 2008. I have some friends in a band, they needed a venue poster for their show. I’ve never made a venue poster before. Not sure if it’s even any good, but I really enjoyed the creative freedom.
Children’s Style
BTOWN - February 2009. I pulled some images from my latest class assignment and tried to add some cinematic tension to the shots. Mixed results, I messed with Content Aware Scale too much.
