Piano

This is a little experiment I did a little while back. I did it just to familiarize myself with illustrator. I took a photo off the internet and put it as a an illustrator image. It was pretty fun but nothing to go crazy about.

Self Portrait

This is an illustrator version of myself. I did use photoshop to cut off the extra of the picture this self portrait was based on. I was trying to create a feeling of being squished but I think it fell short. It took me forever to got the background but I don't think that it helped making you feel squished but instead irritated which is better than nothing. I did the portrait in Art Deco style which I think I did a pretty good job on. I wasn't truely inspired by anyone, I just started thinking of how I could use the requirements to my advantage. The square frame made my think squished, and the Art Deco came from having to do a painting version, and the hard man made curves of Art Deco on the computer would have good contrast with the natural curves of Art Noeuvou that will be my painting. As a pair, I think they will go well together.
