Artist's Comments
This, I'm very proud of. It is for my Design Process class. The goal was to create an icon or "dingbat". (<--- seriously, I have never heard that term before)
It had to be an animal exhibiting an expression. Both the expression and animal have to be instantly recognizable. This means stripping the image down (wooo! take it off!!!) to it's most basic details. I made the extra effort to think of body language instead of just facial expression, and it paid off in unintended ways. Most other finished works I saw were confined within squared designs with many cornered negative spaces. The shape of my icon is held with the position of the animal. I love how this turned out, and I wouldn't change a thing about it. I <3 armadillos. :[] |

I see a armadillo on it's back, partially rolled up, laughing himself silly.
A very nice, simple image. I'd like it a little more if its lines were a little smoother. However it's a small nitpick.
Heh...rofl-armadillo...

graphic design taught me some of the most important things concerning art composition, flow, design, and the whole thought process behind a piece... no matter how much i hated it sometimes.
logos were always a fav project. i've done a few commercially in my time ^^

I'm serious. This saddens me.

Is there any way I can see samples of what you've done?

by "in my time" i meant 'in my artistic career thus far'.
when i can no longer do art, i will most certainly cease to live... and i'd like to hope that won't be for quite a long time. *grin*
