Diaz Retirement Program

Mr. Diaz, the bottom 2 images are front/back of the first sheet, top 2 images are front/back of the second sheet. I numbered them in the bottom corner or the page so you know what goes where. I am also going to post a variation of the cover of the program that has a prayer on the back.
I will also send you a word document that is print-ready

Final product of my in-class book cover project.

New Orleans

Sorry about not posting in a while. All the jobs have been keeping me pretty busy. I turned 21 two weeks ago though... :D

So here's some of the collaboration stuff I did at my illustration internship (He drew, I colored). It's for a new air-ballooning exhibit at the Louisiana Children's Discovery Center. There are going to be 3 aerial maps and 9 smaller images that show different aspects of the city of New Orleans including the Saints, the Strawberry Festival, the train station, the swamp, shrimping boats, jazz musicians, some local wildlife, Mardi Gras, and the Discovery Center itself.

Summer Beginneth

So as of today, I'm signed up with VCU for summer credits. I'm going to be interning with Kelly Alder (popidiocy.com) starting Monday for COAR 492 credit. Should be fun. He gave me a brief overview of what I'll be working on and it's going to be for a children's museum in Alabama :D

Also, I finished creating/designing my illustration website today, so feel free to check it out and let me know what you think!

WEBSITE

my dear, this is simply the beginning...

So I've never had a blog before and I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do with these things...

I guess write things?

But oh, what to write about? The possibilities are endless...
Cause you'd think, if you were me (you would think this and I am me so I'm in a perfect position to offer conclusive evidence on that...) that I can basically post anything I want without the fear of repercussions and it's not like anyone is actually going to ever READ this little niche in cyberspace of mine...

So at the risk of sounding conceited, I'm going to post my art on here, whether you like it or not, and it's going to be amazing. For you see, when left alone too much, I recede to the mentality of a child very quickly and very easily. What better use of my down time than doodling pretty pictures? Regressing to the mentality that "I'm going to do what I want no matter what you say" is tempting to say the least. Besides, I think it's about time I develop an ego for my art. I nver take compliments and I always see the faults in everything I do. Perhaps reining in a smidgen more pride in my work wouldn't hurt, right? At least it would be a step in the direction of self-confidence.

Tolstoy said everyone speaks of changing the world but no one speaks of changing themselves. Ironically, given my Olympian solipsism, I am going to have to focus further on myself, on becoming an individual worthy of utopia then, regardless of my potential future notoriety as an illustrator, I will be equipped to participate in our revolution.

Sigh... but until that day comes, I will have to occupy myself with the task at hand: art school. My time here is running out.
