Valentine's Day

Here's a quick Valentine's card I made for my husband. It was inspired by the Weezer song "My Best Friend," which Blain put on a playlist for me when we were dating.

Old Tilman

I love to read, and I've immersed myself in the world of Honor Harrington (written by David Weber) lately. It's a great military sci-fi story, centered around the adventures of Honor Harrington, a navy starship captain. While reading the books, I really wanted to do something to show my love for them, and I latched onto the idea of designing a label for Honor's favorite beer. So, without further ado, here's my design for Old Tilman.

And here's an ad for Old Tilman, just because I was having so much fun with the project.

I made the labels and bottlecap in Illustrator. I made the ad (including the beer bottle) in Photoshop.

A few random notes: The date 1471 is actually about 3574 according to our calendar. Dating in the book starts over when the first colony ship leaves Earth in 2103. The three stars in a triangle represent the three planets of the original Star Kingdom of Manticore, and are part of the insignia for an admiral in the Royal Navy.

Halloween Week 4

Here it is, my final Halloween piece. Here's week 1, week 2 and week 3.

 

Happy Halloween everyone!

Halloween Week 3

It's the third Friday of October, which means it's time for the third post in my Halloween series. Check out the first and second posts in the series, too.

Liberate Gotham!

Planet Pulp has a pretty awesome show going on right now celebrating the work of Stan Winston. Since they started Fan Art Fridays, I thought I'd do my own Winston-inspired piece.

Halloween Week 2

For the month of October, I'll be posting a Halloween-related piece every Friday. This is the second poster in the series. Check out the first one here.

Halloween Kickoff

It's October, and Halloween is fast approaching. While I love Christmas for presents, and Thanksgiving for food, Halloween may be my favorite holiday because it's crazy, spooky, scary fun. To celebrate, I'll be putting up a Halloween-themed piece every Friday this month.

Without further ado, here's my first poster in the series.
