Final school projects

For my final illustration we were asked to make stamps focused on the characters of golden age television i chose to do all western characters. First you have the lone ranger second cheyanne and last you have maverick after the full size pictures are the stamps





The next group of pictures is from studio seminar they are my senior project. The project was to illustrate a book i decided to do Animal Farm. For my illustrations i did portraits of the real person and there character in the book. i also did a cover that lacks the type but has boxes for the type location in a printed version the boxes wouldn't be there
