13 month cal.

well sailor jerry has inspired me to create my 13 month calender. his simple illustratioins pack so much techique... so my calender is going to be a tribute to him! my months images will be in sailor jerry inspired "flash" that represent the typeface for each month. will be doing all serif fonts and the 13th month will be the sailor jerry month with his original flash. I will also be trying to figure out how to make temporary tattoos to incorporate in the calender. everythign will be hand done since i hardly have ANY drawings in my porftolio.

i already started on two of the months illustrations and is a lot harder than i expected. so all future critiques are welcomed!

What/Who inspires me.

I am inspired by graphic designer blogs. I like to see what is going on in their minds, what is going on in their part of the world, and what interests them. Blogs are a major source of connecting to new artists or new techniques that ive never done/seen.

I am inspired by artwork that I am not comfortable creating. I like simplicity and mixing hand drawn art or texture mixing it with vector like art.

I am fascinated by silk screening. I would love to learn how to create imagery layer by layer, this may help me create the style of work I want to start doing.

I also like looking at interior design magazines and modern furniture. Those kind of structures get me thinking beyond the normal way of doing things.
