</div>These are some of the pages I did for my subconscious sketchbook class. The class really helped me reconsider the definition of what a sketchbook is. I've never been a sketcher or a doodler but collage has always come very naturally to me. Aaron Leighton really helped me to get in touch with this subconscious part of my artistic self and it's really inspired my illustration work. This semester I'm going to try to translate this style into a more editorial format for my thesis.Alyssa Andres Illustrationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12408182287298627722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220856182042628746.post-57759130047512726762010-12-29T11:03:00.000-08:002010-12-29T11:03:28.207-08:00straight B studentI used to strive for A's. Not anymore. Now I strive just to get the work done and have it presentable to hand in. Some how the marks just don't matter like they used to. Although, there's nothing more validating than seeing that A on the back of a project. Even if I really like the way a piece turned out I don't expect an A on it. They're hard to come by so I don't take it personally. Plus my initials are AA so I have a permanent set of A's that are all mine all the time.Alyssa Andres Illustrationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12408182287298627722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220856182042628746.post-33037538623079361572010-12-21T11:57:00.000-08:002010-12-21T11:57:34.194-08:00one small thing.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5LE_B3mrd0E/TREE-WQX4vI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/4SmJ7BEunMk/s1600/sleeve+close.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5LE_B3mrd0E/TREE-WQX4vI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/4SmJ7BEunMk/s320/sleeve+close.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are prototypes for a Business class assignment we had. They are reusable coffee sleeves made out of environmentally friendly and recycled materials. My business for the project is called "one small thing." and these are the first pieces in a line of reusable and eco-friendly products that I want to make! If anyone would like to purchase one they are $12 each and are handmade to order. If you have a specific colour or pattern in mind I can also make custom sleeves for individuals. E-mail me with orders and inquiries!!</div>Alyssa Andres Illustrationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12408182287298627722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220856182042628746.post-53623376955449945472010-12-20T20:14:00.001-08:002010-12-20T20:14:07.837-08:00a blogger is born<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5LE_B3mrd0E/TRApMimlVDI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BL3IcbkJq5o/s1600/peacock.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5LE_B3mrd0E/TRApMimlVDI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BL3IcbkJq5o/s320/peacock.JPG" width="313" /></a></div>i've been meaning to do something like this for a while. check in to see new stuff i've been working on; finished illustrations, sketches and other personal projects.
