Stitch Toolbox

Here is a toolbox I made for my 3D Process Class. We were given a 8'x6.5"x1" piece of wood to create a toolbox with ergonomic and functional features. I created a toolbox for yarn and included details such as adjustable straps made out of a crotcheted piece of yarn, adjustable side panels, and hold that can fit different sized yarn needles.

This picture reminded me of our assignment due today- the watercolor in illustrator.
It uses the elements of layering with "paint" and creating depth within the photograph.

I just stumbled upon a really cool artist named Alice Pasquini. Her artwork is very graphic and bold. The artwork I stumbled upon were a series of murals found on walls, glass windows, billboards, books and more. Her illustrations mainly feature the different complexities of human relationships and human feelings. She aims to find ways to explore the different ways that people see things and feel about certain things. She also tends to draw a lot of "strong independant women."I found it interesting to stumble upon her work because many of her illustrations have the water color effect that we are talking about in my Digital Concepts class.

Interesting thing I stumbled Upon

Virtual Sketchbook I found while on StumbleUpon. It's an interactive sketchbook where you can look at the artist's details and comments. Check It out.

Lauren Rice

Lauren Rice's work intrigued me when looking through her most recent post. She has a collection of works that she has recently produced titled "Heirlooms" that is being presented at the Transformer Gallery. Her work is interesting for me to look at because it utilizes mixed media to create her overall theme. From a long distance her work could be seen as rubbish, but when looking closely at the details she puts together, the work makes sense and has an overall sense of the principles of design. A lot of her work utilizes wire work, gouache, foam, and other contrasting materials that give the work a good sense of three-dimensionality. This collection is raw and rich in a stylized environmental feel.  

Her blog

great blog!

A great blog with two pictures that are paired together everyday.
