For the logo above I really enjoyed the interwoven text with people.  I wanted them to be entangled in the logo.  Making their funky hair was the cherry on top*





The logo on the right depicts a man on cloud 9 by Pow!Chow.  I was also thinking it could be interpreted as how light and healthy the snack company is.

Pow Chow Logos

For this sample logo I was thinking minimal and simplistic.  It would depend on the color harmonization to really make this logo special. 

Here's Hoping

Boston Center for the Arts
So good news! good news! good news! I hope everyone had happy holidays.  It's been way too long since I have updated my blog.  Since that time I have been working as a substitute teacher (yes I took on another job).  Doing the math in my head that is now 3 jobs-ish give or take.  I also interviewed for an internship at the Boston Center for the Arts.  The interview went really good, well except for the part when I forgot what school I went to.  Hopefully I'll get it. It can be hard to stay in touch with my artistic side when I am struggling to pay off the massive debt that college has left me in. It is located right in the heart of the South end near all the artist studios.  I really can't wait I think iIll be inspired to create much more artwork. The woman I interviewed with seemed interested but you never know until that e-mail comes through.

Check out the website, they have a lot to offer:

Close-Up of Hexagon Cut-outs

The hexagon shapes have really intricate design qualities.  I kept the colors muted so the hexagon background would not overwhelm the piece or be too distracting.

Close-Up of Gerber Daisy

This is the main flower of the piece. I'm liking the yellow backing the bud of the flower so I'll probably keep the color. I just love gerber daisies because of the different colors it comes in, plus it makes a good base to plant the bee in.

Bee Hive in Progress

This is pretty much where I am at with this project.  At this point I dream about cutting hexagons.  It is so much more time-consuming than I expected.  I am unsure if I want to back the hexagon shapes with white paper or let the other color shapes show through.

Bee Hive Sketch

So this is what has been consuming my life for the past month.  I am collaborating on a piece with an amazing craftsman.  He works at Frantic Frameworks and will be designing a hexagon frame for this piece which will connect with the hexagon cut-outs that make up the background design. Instead of putting little blocks to add depth to the piece I will be separating the layers with glass.  I am so excited for this one! After it is completed we will try to sell it at the Frantic Framer's Store.
