These two are works in progress. in fact i am going to almost completely redo the first one. that one is a poster / calendar illustration for the savannah humane society. the illustration is supposed to be of people that either look like or conceptually go with their animals. i chose to do a punk guy with a hedgehog instead of spiky hair. i think i'm going to get rid of the woman and the brick wall and open up the space. maybe move him down and a little back . . . we'll see. the other one is a beer label for "arlington ale". the guy that i did a mural for last summer (check older posts) is thinking about starting a brewery in the basement of his grocery store and asked if i was interested in making a label for it. this isn't official or any thing just for fun but if you are reading this devon then SURPRISE!!!! i wanted to do something different than just the standard "here is our name and some fancy looking border" kind of label so i told the story of the beer from production to good times with friends. i went with the graphic black white and yellow to make it stand out despite being so detailed. this one is almost done im going to look for a better font that's easier to read. i think i will also add a little paint and or colored pencil onto the brewery distilling vat things to make them more copper colored and a little pencil to the cheers portion. i think i'll also make the beer a little more orange so it doesn't look so much like . . . yea.

  1. Awesome idea with the hedgehog. I love hedgehogs. Well, the idea of them. I've never actually seen one in the wild. Have you?

    Also, yeah. Some orange would help the beer look like beer XD Still, super cool design :)
