I would appreciate it so much, and I'm sure Mike would too. Here's the link to mine.

Okay, I have been MIA for a couple months now. I don't really have an excuse other than I've been working full time and I'm too burnt out to do my own thing. But I've gotten a burst of motivation and drive in the past few days so things are going to start turning around.



Anyway, yesterday was the contest deadline for a poster design competition sponsored by the Detroit Institute of Arts and the organization  Let's Save Michigan. The theme was based on WPA posters from the 30's an 40's. The subject of these posters was to get people involved in social and environmental activism for the state of Michigan.




I re-worked an old poster I did last year as a senior at CCS. The assignment given then was exactly the same as for this contest. I added the "Let's Save Michigan" to the new version and re-did it in Illustrator. The original was a bit sloppy since it was shakily hand-drawn, so this one feels crisper to me.

I hope to get some of these guys printed and make cards.

I want to design little characters like this all the time, I've decided.


Just a little thing I did in Illustrator and Photoshop. I am really into paper cut illustrations but this is a sort of cheater's shortcut due to lack of free time and a shortage of exacto blades.
