She & Him

I made this illustration of the musical duo She & Him for a high school lesson plan that I designed based around the work of illustrator Joe Ciardiello. This is meant to be an example to show to the class, so it's exhibiting certain requirements the students have to meet, like incorporating lyrics into their drawing. It was a fun illustration to make, but I think I'd actually like to try re-doing it at some point and try out a few different things with it, maybe with some digital painting.

Amelia Earhart

This portrait of Amelia Earhart was collaged on an 8" x 10" piece of Bristol board. The paper used for the collage are copies of one her of firsthand flight accounts (downloaded from here) that I dyed various shades of black and gray using ink.
