$20 Portraits

I'm saving up to get a new printer/scanner/copier, so that I can make prints and better pictures. So...

From July 27-August 10, I'll be offering digital portraits for only $20. Here's how it works: 1) Send 1 or 2 pictures of yourself to jess.smiley@gmail.com 2) Tell me your favorite animal and/or colors (really!) 3) I'll start your portrait once you've put $20 into my paypal account (I'll email directions). What you get: an 8.5 x 11", CMYK, 300 dpi printable portrait, and a profile pic-sized version. Check out the Facebook group here.

***If you just want a small portrait for your profile pic, I'll do it for free, but paying orders will take priority.

Portraits

Here are some digital portraits I've made. I can't help but think of early cameras and the way projectors were used in early paintings, casting moving images on the dark walls of a room. I like using a solid color in the background, with line drawings of mountains, clouds, trees, etc. Do you need a portrait? Let me know.

Coloring Book

This is an 8-page music coloring book that I made all by myself.

You can buy your very own music coloring book for $2 by emailing me at jess.smiley@gmail.com and sending your address. I'll be selling these at Pablo's secret show on July 20 and at the Arts in the Park on August 17.

***BONUS***
Send in your best colored page to jess.smiley@gmail.com The winner gets a prize!







Jessica Goldfond (from the Shiny Squirrel) was kind enough to mention the coloring book on her blog. Thanks, Jess!

Pattern

This is a design I made while playing around with shapes and colors in Illustrator. I'm becoming more and more of a fan of limited color palettes. As much as I hate using the computer to make work, I really like some of the results. I'd love to see this printed on a shirt or something.
