"I got a JOB!" Comic and other random things...


My job search is finally over! I've found something that I can be happy with and that will be stable enough to allow me to work on illustration after work hours.  From the time I applied to this job to the time they offered it to me was less than a week!  So I spent about 5 months job searching, applied to at least 26 jobs, and had only 4 interviews. LOTS of hard work!

So as you might expect my first month might be a little rocky (adjusting to a new profession) but after that I anticipate to start right back into illustration.


And since I missed a post for last week, here are some random projects I completed this week to make up for it:


I actually had less than one week to complete this flag.  Honestly it wouldn't have been THAT hard except for the person requesting it gave me this INTENSE fabric to paint it on. Like a mix of burlap and concrete...not really meant to be painted on. 0_o  You might notice some faint lines around the text and parts of the drawing (white and pink) they are chalk...more easily noticeable in the picture below. I used them as my painting guides.


Here is an 'in process' photo shot.  I painted all the colors first, and then painted in the lines. This made it easy to correct and clean up any of the colors that bleed out, or shapes that didn't want to sharpen.



Probably my last poster for MCC Longview.  With me getting a full time job I will not be able to keep my part time one... I had fun making this poster as I wanted to go back to my Adobe Illustrator/vector days. It has been a few years since I've dabbled with them. It's always nice to have an excuse to  use them again.
