Linework

Like I said before...I need to decided on a specific style to study and perfect. But, I love color, I love photography, I love cartoons, I love animation, I love web design, I love line-work, and I love music. Its just so difficult to decide!!

Anyways, here's an example of recent line-work that I've completed.

Portfolio Review

I recently received my portfolio review and was glad to find out that the evaluators had good things to say. On the up side most of my work was deemed creative and well put together. On the down side they thought my style was too diverse.


My goal for the next year will be to hone into a specific style that I should study and develop.

Here is one piece they all seemed to enjoy.

Portfolio sites

Since I recently graduated I've been looking for sites to display my work and get the word out on my designs. I've come across a few different places to share your art, as well as those made specifically for portfolios

Deviant art has added a portfolio to there site, you can check it out here: deviantart portfolio
and Coroflot is set up for portfolios and has job postings: coroflot

I'll add more sites as I find them. Feel free to add any if you know of more

Here are some other sites that may not support portfolios, but you can share your work from them:

Illustration Friday
ArtBistro
Concept Art

I've added my own personal portfolio links here: daportfoliocoroflot

Business Card

I recently finished creating my business card. I wanted to create something simple and elegant, to invoke the feelings and emotions that relay to the type of illustration work I create. Here they are formatted for the printer. Enjoy.

Selling T-shirts

Recently I've been searching for places to sell my t-shirt designs. So far I've found some great places to sell online, but I've not had as much luck looking for places to sell outside the online world. I was thinking about conventions like sci-fi, fantasy, and comic cons; but I wasn't sure where to find information for selling booths at these places. If anyone has information regarding these it would be greatly appreciated. As far as online sources for selling t-shirt designs, here are the most helpful sites I found:
