"Sleepy Dog" will do.

This is an animation I completed in part with Ian Ihrig and Ellie Howson in December 2009. I made the dog character (he is now a showpiece in my dog-themed bathroom,) supplied/designed the set (bonus points if you can find the items in the background which have found new life in my my last post) and shot most of the footage, while Ian and Ellie did most of the animating, film editing and sound editing.

Thesis Complesis

My thesis is finally done! What started off as something experimental has developed into a skill and a style that I am glad I can have as part of my portfolio. I'm not sure how it's going to fit into the overall scheme of my career as an artist, but I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from friends and faculty. And, now I can say I'm an amateur woodworker, electrician, and taxidermist.

So here it is, the story of Egor the Brave:

 

I'm planning to move out of Baltimore in the coming months, so I'm selling these bulky things. Numbers 2 and 8 are gone, but if you're interested in any the others, please contact me at egmaatman@gmail.com for prices. Graduation is Monday. Eep!

Sincerity vs. Irony

Another "Hipster Handbook" illustration I neglected to post earlier. meh. 

Only one more week of classes... ! I've enjoyed school, but I've definitely had enough for a while.

Better colors! I think.

Disco Rollerskate

My cousin is having a 70's themed roller-rehearsal dinner party! 

So I managed to sneak this guy in tonight.

Tomorrow I'll resume scramblin' to get my finals done by spending all day building a little man out of wood and sheet metal. 

Website is up!

I'll expand it in the future, separate things into categories, etc. But for now, a condensed portfolio.

New Spokesmodel!

Isn't she beautiful?

Here lies my previous header. Letterblobs, never forget:

Looooots and loooots of things in the works:

Soon a new website, new WRINKLES comic, completed year-long thesis project, and MORE!

Validation!

Oh, so I neglected to mention that I got two (count 'em) pieces into the Society of Illustrators student show this year. Click here to see which ones!

Or, if you'll be in the area, why not go see the show at the Society of Illustrators in NYC, May 4th - 28th? I'll be there on the 6th for the opening reception! 

Fraktur part deux

I finally got the chance to upload the couple of images I managed to get out of my fraktur class. I was really most interested with the lettering, and I wanted to make a couple cards with some ornately drawn names on them. The top one is for my boyfriend Nick, the bottom for my mom.

I was really trying to stay within the fraktur style here, but I did let a couple little things of my own creep in. I think I'll let this stuff subtly influence some future projects.

Hipsters don't high five
