I’ve been having (almost) too much fun coming up with illustrations for Steinbeck’s East of Eden. I added color and important quotes to make these into final work for last quarter:

Text: “Do you know where your brother is?” “No, I don’t.” “Where is he?” “How do I know? Am I supposed to look after him?”

Text: “I think I love you, Cal.” “I’m not good.” “Because you’re not good.”

I finished reading Steinbeck’s East of Eden a couple weeks ago and couldn’t resist making a tiny illustrated version of it. The bookmaking class I’m in was also a catalyst. Here are a few of my favorite pages:

Lately.

Some work from the past couple months.

I keep looking for ways to fit my pioneers into everything I do. This time I made them part of a packaging project:

These happy shrimp serve no purpose, really. But they are fun.

A very special thanks to this guy for his expert photography skillz, and this girl for keeping me going with her always changing, never overwhelming, playlists.

More soon!

Outtakes

Some outtakes from my sketchbook. I almost always prefer these raw pages to my final pieces.

Another quarter of school has come and gone, so I wanted to post a few of my favorite projects from the last 2 1/2 months:

First, a couple excerpts from a short children’s book about a ladybug and her garden.

cover

2 inside spreads

A very poor-quality iPhone photo also proves that I even printed them! And 2 of the books have found homes with children that I know. I’m calling that success.

Below, collage illustrations that turned into an ad campaign for Emerald Nuts. The first 4 are the illustrations alone, and the 5th image shows how they were implemented into the final ads. You may recognize this style from some sketchbook pages I posted a while ago.

Generally happy with my work this quarter, and equally happy for a much-needed break!

A spread for a small children’s book I’m working on. Pretty excited about it!
