Really really really really really happy with how this turned out.
Another belated post to introduce new followers to the mega tube knitting project. I picked it up again in December last year and dragged it out to a local yarn shop for a knitting circle meetup to get me going on it again. I’m not sure how many more feet I’ve done since then, but I’m definitely still a long ways away from the 900ft I need to make hahah.
A belated post: at the end of December, I build myself a print drying rack out of some cheap magazine/vinyl racks and a leftover piece of plywood from making the worktops for my presses.
Sol obviously had to insert himself into the process at the start hahah.
And here are all the concept sketches from working on the Tumblr’s Pick your PFP project last year!
Just a little experiment to try out chroma key for the first time in After Effects for a looping video header on my design portfolio. I’ll be making a longer video soon that will key a lot of blue out of things.
Video and motion are not the strongest skills in my creative deck but I’ve made some pretty big leaps in the last year and a half in what I can do.

(5/5) This is super belated hahah, but last year Tumblr reached out about making some illustrations for an internal project and well that turned into Tumblr’s Pick your PFP. This and the previous four posts are the final illos, but I’ll post the sketches that include five other concepts that weren’t picked too.
My intention with all of them was to represent various interests within the greater community. This is a lil’ bit cottage core, foodie, and “I made this” all in one.
Anyway it was nice to reflect on going from posting illustrations on Tumblr in art school to being paid to draw illustrations for Tumblr as a professional.

(3/5) This is super belated hahah, but last year Tumblr reached out about making some illustrations for an internal project and well that turned into Tumblr’s Pick your PFP. This, the previous two, and the next two posts are the final illos, but I’ll post the sketches that include five other concepts that weren’t picked too.
My intention with all of them was to represent various interests within the greater community and I think this is pretty obvious that this is tabletop gaming hahah.

This scale is highly open to interpretation, but I see hard boiled as the good end and scrambled as the bad end.

Apparently if I like you enough I’ll give you a nice rock specimen from a recent mountain hike inside a handmade box.
People either love or hate working with me.
P.S.: Let this be a reminder to you too! Don’t forget to schedule some time off hahah. Reblog to remind your work bestie.
