Hellish Relish Process

Took a break from pluggin' away at my relish label to share what I had with ya thus far.

I'm having a lot of fun with it, just a fun cartoony devil with some devilishly hot relish.

Hellish Relish

This is the beginning of my next project for Senior Studio.

My school had Leo Espinosa in to speak about his work and the industry last week and I was lucky enough to be able to show him my portfolio afterward. He was really phenomenal and his work is awesome, the biggest thing I took away from his presentation and our chat is that characters, regardless of what they're for, need to be developed and actually be "characters".

Anyways, my friends were joking about pickeling stuff the other day when one of them said "Hellish Relish" and this image jumped into my skull. These aren't the only thumbnails, but I am digging the direction so far and really enjoy this character. Hopefully this will be a kick-ass relish label when I'm done!

Geometric Shapes are Apparently my Jam

I've been incredibly busy finishing up school, but I had a free evening a few weeks ago and created this.

I named the file "randomcrystalthingy" and, honestly, that's the only way I can describe it. This was kind of fun for me to work on because usually I put a lot of planning and thought into my illustrations, but this time around, I just opened Illustrator and made it. It's not the greatest thing I've ever done, but it's just weird enough that I kinda like it.

Pitch Imperfect Logo

I worked on this a while ago, but I figure I'll post it now! It's just a little logo I created for my friends; they were hoping to start a record label, and by George, they kinda did. They haven't been keeping up with it as much as they could, but they're still in school. So hopefully when they're all wrapped up with that, they'll get back into this!
