victoria vox

this weekend i got to see my cousin, Victoria Vox, play in baltimore. she plays the ukelele which is awesome, and she has this little drum set and little piano which her producer played with her. i loved the little drum set, it was very cute. she was really great, she has a lovely voice. victoria has a new album coming out, the first image, and if you are interested in checking it out, you can go to her myspace.

VDQ

these are some pages out of a process book for the project Virtual Design Quilt, or VDQ, i did last year. i finally got it reprinted on lulu, which took forever because either my internet or lulu was being impossible.

VDQ was an interactive project where i asked artists and designers to email me a small square of any artwork, which was then put together on a website creating a "quilt" of the artwork mixed together.

beeeehive

and also here are two product designs and the bags i made. i am very proud of the bags, i used the textile printer and then dyed them gray. im going to upload a better photo of them later. AND now i have three bags that i made that i can use at the super market. terrific.

beehive

here's some of the plates i did for the group project beehive market.

jumping?

so i googled my name and it came up on the blog jumping in front of artwork, which is this blog where people send in photos of them jumping in front of art. the photo above is from the blog, and the piece that looks like she is about to grab off the wall is mine. it is a from the Fab Lab show in the Pinkard Gallery at MICA, which was exploring the fabulous world of the new digital textile printer at our school. i guess some MICA students jumped in front of it and then sent it in. our names are all listed on the blog, hence how google found it.

palm sunday

palm sunday because it i made it today on sunday and its palms AND it's almost palm sunday, but that has nothing to do with it.

sometimes

sometimes i make things that i can't use for the project. like this.

more more more

new patterns

i've been inspired. AND i had a small, small lull in homework. AND the weather is crappy and farrrrr too cold for me to even think about going outside.

the project formally known as black eyed susan

above are various logo ideas for a local market with the name 'black eyed susan.' (black eyed susan is the maryland state flower). the market would have local goods and produce. it would be about sustainability and being organic. then there are some possible shirts idea.

this is a group project, so all of this was before we had to change some things, like the name, which now is beehive market. so i will post some things i do for that later on.

left overs

this is just another christmas pattern i thought i would just put up even though it is after christmas

fairy tale patterns

this one is from rumplestiltskin

above is little redcap, or little red ridding hood.

then this one is from repunzel

these are some more patterns i made. the words are from grimm's fairy tales. they came out rather childlike, which is fine.

cards

these are some cards i made out of my patterns for christmas presents.

snowflakes over baltimore

these are the snowflakes i made to decorate our apt for christmas. i made a lot of them (they are addicting to make) and created these chain of snowflakes to hang around our apt with the christmas lights.

forest patterns

these are some forest patterns i made

i love christmas

here are some christmas cards and patterns i made when i was frustrated with doing work and just wanted christmas. the snowflakes are made up of antlers

abode patterns

these are the patterns i made for abode that i printed. i just thought i would add them outside of the illustrations

abode logo work

above is the logo for the abode ipod cases.
and then below you can see the process and other options

abode

these are the abode ipod cases that i made and am selling. i designed all the patterns myself and printed them. here is a description of abode:
"iPods have become very personal. People bring their iPods everywhere they go. The iPods has become a home away form home. With this idea, Abode iPod cases have the qualities of home, so that the iPods as well as their cases can bring a comfort of home anywhere the owner goes. The fabrics and patterns are similar and inspired by the interiors of houses."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++




these are the illustrations i did for abode. i took the patterns i made for the cases and put them into simple interiors or houses, which was the inspiration for them.
