The Results are in!
I passed my Sophomore Portfolio Review! Fantastic! This portfolio review though, is the exact reason I haven’t updated the site in while though. I do have some work to show, just give me a couple of days. (Illustrations, pop-up museum promotional mailing piece, and more)
PS: I passed, Junior year here I come! BFA you better watch out, I’m on to you.

at night
For my next and final illustration assignment of the semester, I am suppose to do a watercolor painting of a scene that shows exterior and interior lighting at the exact same time. It sounds difficult, and probably will be.
