I've been at it again.

I'm waiting anxiously for Friday morning, when I have Works in Progress. My portfolio is complete, and I've written some strong stuff about each piece, looking them over carefully. Also spent these past few nights working hard on stuff for the Little City Rollergirls site, speaking with Big Daddy Voodoo himself earlier today. I'm in the right direction, everything's coming out pretty strong. I'm feeling surprisingly good.

Also, I've squeezed in the time for a couple other pieces. The first one is a biomechanical angel, conceptualized by my Australian friend Stacey. She gave me the details and backstory for the character, and her name, Lian Yu, and I set to work in drawing her:

I feel I'm pretty successful. Also, between this and that photoshoot I did last year, I have a thing for characters wrapped in bandages. That may be something to look into. Colors are right where I want them to be, which is awesome because I still feel like I suck at coloring things in Photoshop.

And after buying another Wipeout game solely for the work done by the Designers Republic, I have made another attempt at weird vector art. I call this one White Blood Cells:

SINGLE POINT PERSPECTIVE!!

And, actually, before either of those two pieces, I did this one, just an obscure poster design:

Again, I don't know what the merit of these pieces are. They're quick and easy to put together, the file sizes are tiny compared to most things, and I have a lot of fun making them. It engages a completely different part of my brain that drawing and other design work involve. There's a weird, beautiful simplicity and purity to them...

Little City design stuff will probably be up later this week, as I'm trying to finish off a couple of those projects soon.

That's it, just a minor update. Like I said, still preparing for Works in Progress. I'm staying busy this week, but I'm not feeling so stressed as I typically would, which is good. Healthy.

Before I go, I am in love with this song. LISTEN TO IT:

Goodnight, friends.
