This was an illustration I did of a young girl who catches birds in the sky, much like one would catch butterflies.
she keeps them in jars to look at, but always sets them free later.]]> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:36:08 +0000 http://pinkparasol.cgsociety.org/gallery/654923

This was my valentines day card for last February. It is an illustration of Elizabeth and her friend, Mr. Toad. She decided to invite him for tea in hopes that he may be a prince in disguise... but unfortunately, prince or not, he is horribly boring. He exceeds his welcome, rambling well into the evening about his vast riches and exciting life in high society.

My entry for the Strange Behavior challenge!

Anyone from Stoneybrook elementary will tell you that Philip Burges had the biggest imagination in the whole fourth grade. It almost seemed odd that someone so small could be capable of possessing anything in magnitude. He once came to class with a can of shaving cream, which he would periodically spray in a counterclockwise circle around his desk. He said it was to ward off the playground succubus. Another time he wore his mother’s oven mittens on the playground during dodge ball, claiming that he needed it to keep him from receiving the horrible hives that sports gave him. So, needless to say, no one believed him when he said he was going to bring his pet dinosaur to school for show and tell on Wednesday…

This painting is a depiction of a warrior at the dawn of his life. I wanted the figure to appear noble, but mournful. The image was painted digitally, as well as traditionally, using oils. ]]> Thu, 28 Jun 2007 17:24:11 +0000 http://pinkparasol.cgsociety.org/gallery/467897

Initially created as a companion piece for Tenebrous Empress, Reticent Evening is a portentous depiction of the twilight hour. I wanted the expression of the main figure, to be mischievous, yet soft. It was detailed and color corrected primarily in Photoshop, with the initial sketching and color blocking done in Painter.

This Image was initially painted roughly in Painter, then the details were later added in photoshop. I wanted to depict a somber mood, without becoming too ominous in nature. Though it is primarily an illustration of a young girl, I added elements, such as the vulture, to help illustrate this point. ]]> Thu, 22 Feb 2007 23:59:13 +0000 http://pinkparasol.cgsociety.org/gallery/443029

For my entry, I wanted to illustrate a symbolic collaboration of elements to portray the "breast cancer awareness" theme. The piece takes place in October, the national month of awareness. The roses in her hair represent the 1 out of 9 women who will get it, the clock characterizes the women who will die from it every thirteen minutes, and the blue butterfly is my depiction of hope.]]> Wed, 20 Dec 2006 15:17:07 +0000 http://pinkparasol.cgsociety.org/gallery/393342

I did this painting for a friend's birthday. It is my depiction of the twilight hour, a time of day when it is said that creatures of the faerie realm are visible to the human eye.]]> Mon, 14 Aug 2006 22:29:26 +0000
