Misc. Projects

Some pieces that I had not put up yet. Carriage is for a project I had been working on awhile back. The polar bear illustration is an idea I had been playing with. I wanted to create folk story book, but based on my own characters. It would draw inspiration from world folk stories. The polar idea came from the Norwegian folktale about King Valemon.In brief, the story is about a prince who is transformed into the King of polar bears by a witch. To break the spell, he must find a princess who will love him.

Monster Characters

Monster characters! Ive been working on a collection of vector based characters. Once finished, all the characters will be implemented in my "Brain of the an Artist", project.

Art Nouveau

Playing with new styles in and genres. Im deeply influenced by the arts and craft period of the 20th century. The art nouveau period is also of great interest to me. The style and design are elegant and full of fantastic detail.

Steam Vehicles

Working on several projects at once, but started this one recently. Im focusing on vehicles designs rather than locations and characters. The idea for this project is more turn of the century-industrial. Most of the vehicles will be fantastical steam driven inventions. I plan an designing the cities and characters around this industrialized theme.

Funeral Procession

I have been working on this project for the past week. It consists of several pieces and the theme is funeral procession. The thought came to mind while I was working with floral designs in Illustrator. Also, It is also a personal piece. My grandmother passed away a few years ago. I was not able to travel to Norway for the funeral because I was in school in the time. A regretful decision. I was always very close with her. I think about her often. So, I have dedicated my recent free time this project. It is an artistic representation of my own grandmothers passing. I will upload each piece as I finish them. Love you Ester.



Here is a segment for the procession. Its part of the crowd, but not quite finished. I know I said I'd upload the pieces when they are done, but I wanted to show some WIP.









Finished coffin scene with flowers and censer

Child's Pose Yoga

I recently redesigned my friend's logo for her yoga practice. It was a simple and clean design, but that is what she wanted. I think it turned out to be a great piece and I'm glad to have an actual logo piece amongst my work. Hopefully it is the first of many. The yoga practice is called Child's Pose.
