This is the version I am handing in, yet the one below is the version I prefer (but is not complicated enough for my prof - I like its clean graphic quality so much better than all the textures.)

FINAL FOR HERRERA
We had to listen to a podcast and then illustrate it; it's content discussed language, the power of word and the knowledge speech lends to people. This was not my favorite concept ... actually it was my weakest and I think more based on aesthetic than thought........... yet my prof for some reason picked this one for my final..

BAND POSTER - media studio
Finally done this beastly poster!!
(I apologize if anyone finds this offensive) The band name was 'Holy Fuck' and their song 'Latin America'. We had to work analogue and then scan it and combine all the parts digitally using photoshop.
You can't really see the text, but I'm on a deadline for this and unfortunately don't have time to redo it all :s

Get Well ..
One of my good friends' mum had an operation recently ... I made this as a get well card, though now it is a little belated - it took me a while to figure out how I wanted to colour it:

Screaming Shrimp!
Over the Christmas my uncle told me a story...
One of his co-workers had recently been to visit their company in China ... After several days of being served traditional dishes and delicacies (one of which was comprised of three sparrows pinned to a board, feathers, beaks and eyes intact). He suggested to his host that perhaps, on their fourth night, they might eat something more 'western'. The host ordered a shrimp dish for him. When the meal arrived, a tureen was brought forth, filled, apparently, with dark blue-black liquid; and then, with mingled horror and amazement, the bowl emitted a high-pitched shriek.
It was, as promised, the shrimp dish. The liquid was a mixture of vodka and squid's ink - the shrimp were alive in the bowl, but slowly marinating from their insides out. Watching closer, the shrimp could been seen surfacing briefly. And the shrieking? - the shrimps' last breaths.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! ;)
I really am starting to like folk art aesthetics with the pattern work and bright cheery colours!
Farewell
This card was painted in memory of my great uncle Merritt, who just passed away last week. He was an ornithologist, and was the prime culprit in starting my interest / obsession with birds ...
This is for you uncle Merritt - thanks for teaching me about hummingbirds, I'll never forget!

A belated thanks...
A friend gave me a card some weeks back and because of the end-of-school rush I wasn't able to properly thank him at the time (so now I'll say it - Thank You!! ;) ) ... It's a christmas card featuring a beautiful fashion illustration done by LA-based illustrator Helen Huang (http://helen-huang.com); Huang's illustration references one of the last pieces created by the late, great Alexander McQueen.
If you're curious to see the card, you can check out his fashion blog (http://www.fusionofeffects.com/) , where, I believe, he will be posting the card up for the public to see after December 20th!
Thank you again! The McQueen christmas card is gorgeous and already hung up on my wall! :)
Cheers,
