Here's something I made this weekend. It's a CD cover for a mixed CD fundraiser. The local college radio station (CJSW) asked me to come up with a fun design. The title will likely be going in the bottom right corner...

btw, this on is my fav. for some reason it screams "greeting card". is anyone else getting that vibe?

totally getting that vibe.

knnth- i think i might be able to direct you to a few very lucrative opportunities for illustration. Specifically greeting cards. PM me for some
more details.

wow. that's awesome...and so true. i think the most satisfying part of artwork is the PROCESS. it's ritualistic.

i think it's important to have an appreciation for all sorts of art. i'm not a design guy, i've made exactly three gigposters so far, and i have virtually no idea how to use a computer to make art (you can ask my computer friends who i torture with stupid questions about this).

i like it here (gigposters, that is) because i think there's a lot of interesting stuff going on, art-wise. graphic-wise, illustration-wise...it's pretty intimidating to me. do i love everything everyone posts? nope. but i can appreciate the technique and talent behind a lot of it. i'm sure not everyone loves everything i do, either.

i'm not sure what my point is, i just thought i'd share the thought. plus, i love you all.

i have a belly full of pizza. i must vacuum the house now.

also, i'm going to look at knnth's site again.

over and out!

I agree with Mictron (sorry for originally mispelling your name). The first time he showed something, it wasn't something I thought I'd like, and now I look forward to seeing his work. I find myself seeing stuff that I never thought I'd like, and I love it. I post feedback on work when I think it's amazing work or if people ask for it. Honestly, I really enjoy seeing a lot of the work that I see here. Just because I'm poor (I seriously don't work my jobs that much lately so I can work toward my show) and don't show my appreciation by buying everything I'd like to buy doesn't mean I don't like a lot of the work I'm seeing here.

I just honestly don't know where a lot of this came from. It really was a shitty day for me on this website. I wasn't asking for creative validation from my work (because trust me, it's there and I don't necessarily feel like I need to be singled out from everybody to explain my work when nobody else here is doing that), I was asking for feedback on the work itself. Is it working or not? I think it is, but much like a parent sees no wrong in their child, I'm trying not to see much wrong in the work I've spent the better half of the last 2 1/2 months on.
