new image for creative strokes

Here is the updated version of my spoons poster. I condensed my my three poster ideas into one and I think it works more effectively.

2 covers

Here they are whether or not you were waiting with baited breath. I have a feeling that they might change again in terms of masthead placement but I am happy with the masthead itself and the compositions. The 3rd one is giving me problems but I will post it when it works itself out.

publication elation!!

Publication class draft number 364. There are some wonky formatting things going on here, but this gives you an idea of what I am doing. Ignore the white bar on the contents page and in the tornado. They shouldn't be there, and I will make sure the final posting is sans layer errors. The covers have also been updated. This mag. is about every day survival ex: what to do when your car breaks down, brakes go out, or you are in an accident. It is called Heads Up. 3 covers to come.

raw images for publication and creative strokes poster

an image for creative strokes. I am using a line from a poem my friend ester' wrote when she was 15. This image is not working completely yet. It discussing eating disorders but misses some of the extremism leading up to a break down. I created two other images so that this would be part of a tryptic , but I think I can consolidate them into one idea.

a great detail from one of my wood panel paintings. it makes me think of the walls after I try to bake.a tornado image for my publication



an image i made for my publication but it is not a good enough finale so I am dropping it and moving on.Images I made for the publication that I am going to use. They are much more dynamic and interesting.
