Update

It's the end of the school year and like everyone else, I'm busy. There was a gallery over in Pawtucket a few days back, I'm trying to move out of the old apartment, I have a few freelance jobs lined up and through it all I'm finding time to paint and getting a handle of acryla gouache, paint medium of the gods.

I've limited my pallet to the following colors below and the effect is really exciting. They're sort of Santa Fe looking ... I'm trying to throw out earthy tones because I see enough of those as is (maybe I'll go back to terra verte and burnt sienna someday).

So below is a picture of the opening I had at the sight of sound and my pallot!

Happy summer guys!

Alright!

Ready to rock and roll.
Still some kinks to work out on the links page and you have to access my resume through the biography page, but it's all there now!

Working on a new piece and adapting a more painterly style. I am using Acrlya gouche and oils and applying it to board in a manner similar to Rebecca Guay, who came to RISD a few weeks ago to do a painting demonstration. Here it is ...

PIRATES

New pirate illustration that may potentially go in Plansponsor magazine. I'm up against my classmates, who are all VERY talented, so it's a longshot this will get in, but ... let's just say if this was "Project Runway", I'd definately not be getting kicked off on tonight's episode.

OH YEAH ... I have a gallery up at Carr Haus. You should come. Pictures soon.

Star Wars

Here's the newest portfolio piece. It still has some things to be worked out, but once again I'm going with this ink/acrylic painting/mono printing photoshop collage technique. I'm thinking of replacing the princess with a princess Leia from an old Star Wars comic I found at the Rhode Island Mall (Jennie and I stopped by chance to see if we could get our photos taken with a supposed Leprecon, but as it turned out, you had to BRING a Leprecon, AKA a baby, which we lucky don't have).

I also feel that the monoprinting in it is a bit understated ... I really wanted to have it be a main part of the piece.

I'll run it by Robert tommorrow and get feedback. Night everyone.

Oh yeah, and here's some process paintings that didn't make the final cut. (Sigh)

Promotional piece

I'm designing a postcard to send out to magazines, newspapers and potential clients. This is a "first draft". I'm going to add gouache text for jackturnbull.com (which I SERIOUSLY need to update, geez!).

Check it out...

The circles on the right are going to be tennis balls. So ... yeah ... text and tennis balls and I'm going to turn it in as assingnment.

Here's hoping.

March Gallery

Well, my senior show came and went. I was too busy running around and socializing to take photos by myself, but fortunately my mom was there to step in. There aren't too many great photos of "Bad Guy", one of my favorite pieces, but I'm going to start putting up my portfolio pieces up here anyway.

Enjoy!

More updates coming up.
