Collage for "The Chain"

I was required to make a collage for my class, and so I decided to try it out with a paper medium rather than digital, since I've never made one before. It has the Cleveland skyline because that's where my story takes place, and pieces of an Ohio map. Because there were references to Germans in the story, I glued German fairytales ripped up and placed all over. The sepia tone of it all represents the color style of my movie.

Composite Video

For another assignment I had to composite a video of myself onto another video as the background. I was shot in front of a green screen stretching, and then composited myself onto my teachers desk.

I Love Composite

I had to composite myself into old photos for my visual effects class. This was the result! Amerila Earhart, and I Love Lucy!

Melting planet on a mobile

My second animation, another ball yet this one is a planet that melts off a mobile.

Bouncing Ball - First Animation

My first project for my 2D animation class. A bouncing ball, the most basic of animations.

Halloween!

Attended my first tablet workshop today. A quick painted graveyard made in photoshop.

Jim Morrison

I made a watercolor for my boyfriend of his favorite...Jim Morrison! The shadows are done with india ink, and then I dumped salt on my watercolor while it was still wet to get the tye-dye effect. By far, my best piece to date!

Octopus

Inked octopus on watercolor. I used salt to get the texture in the water on this one.

Beach Buggy Take 2

A newer version of the beach buggy, painted on wood. The cars proportions are off compared to the original, but it's all good

Beach Buggy

I really don't like this one as much. But then again its only first few watercolors ever. Still trying to figure out this medium. I was summoned to paint a tropical scene reminding someone to retrieve their keys when they left the house. I am deciding on how I should portray it. I already have one in marker and ink. Next step, do it all over again on canvas. 

Mini Elephant

And yet another elephant. I can't keep away from the elephants. Acrylic and ink on mini canvas. I saw table settings for a wedding on pinterest, my favorite website ever, and it had the mini canvas' set up on their mini easels with ribbons attached to them which had the guests names on them. I'm so excited to do that for my future wedding, that I've already started! This mini canvas is for sale at my etsy shop,

Mini Camel

A camel I painted on a mini canvas with acrylic. I love this one. I especially like the ink lines. I think I may have found my new desk piece! This mini canvas is for sale at my etsy shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/designbylj
