Memorial cat painting

A memorial cat portrait I did for my co-worker. She gave me free reign on what I could do with it, so this is what I came up with.

Rihanna Painting

Just a little portrait I did for my best friend who is a huge Rihanna fan.

Housewarming Invitation

This was a house warming invitation that I made for my apartment but it never happened haha. Anyway, I still like it and thought it was worth posting.

Hippie

Just a lil' digital self portrait I dusted off and finally finished today. Can't decide if I like it more with or without the circle frame...so I just posted both. I call it "Hippie".

What I do at work

Here are just a few examples of the work I do as a graphic designer for Olympia Entertainment/The Detroit Red Wings. I've learned SO much this past year, and have grown exponentially as a designer :)

A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever

A little illustration/design diddly I did that stands alone as is, but will soon become a collaboration piece with my good friend Jongmee Kim. Can't wait to see what she does with it! :)

For My Honey

Just an idea for a gift card or a gift tag. I might post different color versions soon.

Crave'n Cupcakes Branding

My good friend and former neighbor started her own cupcake business a little while back, and I helped her out with a logo and branding. Her last name is Craven, so we came up with the company name: Crave'n Cupcakes. Check out her Facebook page, her cupcakes are seriously amazing.

Repurposed Deer Illustration - Iphone Case

"Deer Me" Pattern

After a year long (way too long :x) hiatus, I'm finally starting to work on my portfolio. I'm concentrating on organic patterns and design heavy illustration that will hopefully land me a job at a stationary or homegoods company. I'm just going to do what I love and work hard...

So expect a lot more regular posts, and when I'm happy with my inventory, a website.

Digital Portrait

Outside of work I'm not producing very much artwork, And this has got to stop! So here is a quick digital painting I did of my friend PT. I tried not to get too smooth with the application, because god knows I can go crazy with smoothing in Photoshop. Though it was very hard not to!

Embroidered diamond patch

   

Just for fun. I had an embroidery craving.
