IF- Caged

It was one of my projects where I have to come up with a concept about freedom/Iraq War. The professor has a paper with few pictures on it and you suppose to select 3 items and a theme. My items are the cage, American eagle and Iraq flag on the Eagle's face. The eagle was caged and now it's free.

Linocut_Time Statue

I really like this composition because it looks simple and　elegant. I find it interesting that both the elements, butterfly and time. are moving elements but because they are statue, their beauties just froze there for us.

Linocut_LUCK

For this piece, I want to come up with a simple composition. I also want it to be Chinese theme. So I decide to draw two koi fishes in a pond with lily pad flowers. The Chinese character mean Luck. Koi fishes is said to be good luck. My professor joked that the two Koi fishes represent my twins and me and that we are lucky to have each other.

IF- Cracked

This week's Illustration Friday topic is "Cracked". So i came up with some kid playing baseball and it broke into some one's window and hit the fish tank. I want to illustrate this cute little goldfish scared/shocked reaction. The baseball basically cracked the fish tank (little goldfish home).

Hawaii

This is one of my recent project. We could choose to illustration something about Anatomy for a textbook or illustrate something for a product. Since i love chocolate, i choose to illustrate a painting for Hershey's cacao reserve chocolate bar (single origin). My theme is Hawaii. Actually i use Illustrator to make the chocolate bar itself with my painting but i did not have enough time to finish it.

Hollywood

This is a project where we have a paper with short articles and we have to choose one to illustrate a spot illustration. I chose an article about how New York City is like Hollywood.
