Geishas!

This was a requested piece by Megan, a geisha under a cherry blossom tree. I have never drawn or painted a geisha before, so this was new for me. This is acrylic 16x20, I wanted her to stand out so the colors are bright, and I also wanted to keep somewhat of a nature tone with the background. This was fun to do, and I think I will try some more geisha inspired themes.

Hello there, I have been busy these past few days visiting the Orient. In my Design and Technology class, we had to design CD packaging. I made up a client called, Crystal Visions, which was a video game software company. One of the first things I did was create a logo, I used the font Endor, and a crystal formation as the V. The logo is one of my favorites, I think it looks crystalline and gamer worthy. I then came up with the idea of making a demo package for two upcoming games, Dark Journey and Legends. I have always thought about being a designer for games and things, so it was a lot of fun working on this. I took elements from various games I have played like Tomb Raider and The Elder Scrolls series, for my made up games. We had to make a Jewel Case, a CD sleeve, CD label, and a panel insert.

We got quite a bit of snow last night, and we're supposed to get even more tonight. Gotta love Vermont! I had a pretty good weekend, we had two house parties for Tim's campaign, and our friend Julie was gracious enough to hold them both at her house. This campaign thing is pretty fun. Also Saturday night we went to a Fish and Game dinner, that was interesting, a lot of flannel and mystery meat. I did this illustration just for fun again, oh how nice it would be to have lots of money!
