Shoes - Digital







Done in Adobe Illustrator.

My message for this piece was that these shoes are out-doorsy shoes.
I ventured all over Italy in these shoes.
They are comfortable enough for hiking and travel!
(Also the brand is 'Champion')

Shoes Painting - Finished



Finished product. 
My overall message was that shoes shouldn't be a gendered item.
(Maybe with the exception of dress shoes. But hey, if a grown man wants to wear red pumps, who's to stop him?)
The pink/red on top represent "female/feminine" colors, and the blues on the bottom represent the "male/masculine" colors. The purple surrounding the shoe is supposed to be a mix of the two colors, a gender ambiguous/all including color. 
I wanted to show that this shoe isn't just for boys or just for girls. 
No matter your gender identity, you should be able to wear whatever shoe you want.
(Also those are XXs with the pink and XYs with the blue. Get it?)


Done with ink and acrylic paint on chipboard.

Shoes for Web



Mr. Wertz fixed the crinkling of the paper using Illustrator.
More to come with editing the color of the shoes & typography.

Progress on Shoes Painting



It's a little blurry because wow iPhones suck but yeah, changed it up a bit by adding purple around the shoe itself and lightening it up.
Still a WIP.

Humble Abode - Side view



Done in Adobe Illustrator.
This is technically a front view I guess but still, the front is a side.
With this view, you're looking into the house. 



Humble Abode - Aerial View



Done in Adobe Illustrator. 

The oval in the roof is the oculus, and the little rectangle in it is the impluvium, the decorative pool that collects water. 
The roof to the front of the house is blue. The back of the house is open, no roof, because it's a garden, as you can see with the trees I have in the green area. 
The red in the front of the slanted roof made with shingles. This is the same for the sides of the back. Under those parts of the roof are indeed bedrooms and other rooms to the house that should not be exposed like the garden.
