happy halloween!

Every year MICA has its junior and sophomore illustration students design a poster for their annual Halloween party. This year the theme was based on the film The Shining, which I loved watching but I don't know about how it'll fare as a party theme (we'll see I guess!)
This was my favorite part of the movie. I think it makes a good family portrait, too.

We had to design a character based on an occupation (in my case a postal worker) that was inspired by the attitude and appearance of a randomly drawn animal. I got a chinchilla!

SOCCER!

A friend of mine did a trade with me and I got to draw two characters from her webcomic Goalkeeper!! It's very cute, give it a read!

kanye west

A trio of Kanyes for class, one rendered, one in color block, and a third in line. He really likes scarves. p.s. cruel summer was good!

Three onomatopoeia illustrations, circus-themed! snap, hnnnghh!! (or something to that extent), and fwoosh

taxi taxi

An adventurer for character design with daniel krall! He's a taxi driver for the dead - think modern-day ferryman across the river styx. After committing suicide and immediately regretting it, he struck a deal with the devil and works this job as a hope that he might gain a chance to escape limbo and somehow live again. Instead of charging his passengers coin, he asks them to share their life stories as he drives. {And since some people asked why he wears hot pants: it gets pretty toasty down there in hell.}

Here is his gear. That driver's badge/eyeball looks in the direction he's supposed to go (a sassy little compass, basically.)

gently now

Given a very open-ended prompt of 'do whatever you want,' I decided to exercise my adoration of armor and old school shoujo manga. I was thinking about the idealized, romantic perception that we have of love and romance in stories, but it actually doesn't run much deeper than the fact that I wanted to draw androgynous princes(ses) and flower petals!!
