Muku 3-D Mock ups!

I bought some Sculpy and made a little Muku The Cyclops Owl! I also made one out of a wax and clay mixture that I will be using to create the mold for the chocolate pops! The sculpy one is pretty cute, but the wax one needs some work. Sculpy is a lot easier to sculpt... hence the name :) These will give you an idea of what the installation may look like in the final presentation.

GHOST GIFT: A grab bag of secret tiny treasures

Through the magical ways of the interwebs, I have made some adorable swag! In each Ghost Gift (grab bag) includes a book mark, a sticker, and a temporary tattoo! Each bag is different, since there are several different stickers, two different bookmarks and two different temp. tats! Each design is based around the imagery of my made up world, Krystallos Island (Where Muku the cyclops owl resides!)

I have been giving these out as gifts for those who I feel I owe a gift to, and I also plan on pitching them to local shops in Portland as well as selling them on my Etsy shop that I will be posting very soon! I'm thinking they will be about $4 each.

Another part of my Thesis Presentation.... The Mushroom Field

I will be creating an installation exhibit of my made up world / place: Krystallos Island. On this island there is a mushroom field, along with many more magical places that are to come!

Check out my mushrooms that I made from champaign corks and acrylic paint.

I did my first Window Painting!

This Holiday Window painting was done this December, right after school got out, before Christmas. I painted it in Tempura, after drawing on the window with window marker. It is located on the side window of The Black Rooster Cafe (424 SW 10th ave, right next to Tender Loving Empire). Come have a cup of Stumptown Coffee and check it out before it's wiped away. Hopefully I will be doing more window paintings at the location in the near future! It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot too!

Here are a few images from my thesis proposal power point slideshow at PNCA, for those of you who didn't get a chance to come :)

My pitch went well and I passed with flying colors! Now I am to get started on my Muku the cyclops owl product line and start diving into the magical land of Krystallos Island, where Mount Kruos stands tall, exotic plants blossom from the Curious Garden, the blue whale sings, the forever cloud keeps on raining in its favorite spot, the crystal caves shine on, and the bog of banishment bubbles on in the eerie plateau...

Muku the Cyclops Owl

In my senior year at PNCA, I have been constructing the basic foundation of my thesis project.

I am exploring narrative through the medium of a product line based around character design.

My target audience is very broad, and consists of young adults from the ages 19 to 35 and kids from the ages 6 to 12.

Here are a couple images that display the basic aesthetic and style that I am headed towards.

Penanggalan

This piece is my submission for the October 2010 show at The Pony Club Gallery, called Monsterbation (a sexual explicit adult art show about monsters).

My Gouache and Ink painting is titled, Penanggalan, based off of Philippine Folklore.
