Busy busy busy,,

Not gonna lie folks, things have been pretty busy here on the home front! Slaughter City goes up in a little over a week, and Elektra is making good progress. Looking forward to having one show done so that I can catch up on that mound of homework that has crept up on me over the last few weeks! Both shows are shaping up to be pretty fantastic though, and I'm excited to see the final products! Here's one of my final renderings for Elektra of Klytemnestra, the queen! She's gonna be pretty fabulous.

Hope life is treating everyone well! I'm off to sew more snaps on bloody slaughterhouse uniforms!

Elektra

The new school year has started up and I've been running around like crazy! Between classes, work study, and designing two shows at once I'm definitely keeping myself busy this quarter. Slaughter City is well under way with a month until opening, and my designs for Elektra are to be signed off and given the go ahead to begin next week.

Here's a sneak peek at Elektra. Our version is set in the 1930s dust bowl, and we're going to have the opportunity to do a lot of really fantastic distressing on this project!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a great holiday break and that the new year is getting off to a good start! As for me, I had a great time in Seattle spending time with the family and seeing old friends. Also managed to squeeze some work in, finishing my renderings for Slaughter City. I was trying out a sketchier style, using black pen instead of pencil. Definitely a good exercise, drawing in a medium I can't erase!







Slaughter city is starting this week, and goes up on February 19th! I'm also getting a head start on planning for Elektra, which I am designing for UCLA. My designs are due February 1st, and the production goes up April 14th. Busy times around here, but luckily they're all things I'm excited to do!

Done!

I had my last final as of this morning and I'm now (theoretically) on break until the new year! I have two shows starting up immediately when I get back, however, that I need to work on designs for over the holidays. (Slaughter City at SOSE and Elektra at UCLA) It will be nice to have the time to actually spend on drawing though, instead of having to split my focus between ten million different things!

In the meantime, here are a few of my renderings from our contemporary Tartuffe project for design class.

Have a great holiday everyone!

Crazy final renderings

For our Costume Design for Film class, we've had to design costumes for a few characters from the screenplay Crazy, which was originally designed by our teacher, Kristin Burke. Thought I'd post a few of my final drawings which I'll be showing in class tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Tartuffe update!

Everybody's all sketched out.. now I'm moving into the scanning and coloring! Here's where Marianne is at..
