Find the Right Tattoo

Pork sectioning is the first thing I think of when I see straight lines of text tattooed onto curved flesh. Those inorganic lines do nothing to complement your curves and natural body shapes. Straight lines, like in text, only work to chop your body up.

Process for Golden Hour, Graphite and Digital Media, 2012.

Here’s some process work behind this New Yorker cover I created for my Editorial class. The prompt was, “Autumn in the City.” I think it’s pretty straightforward- nothing too crazy.

• 1 & 2 - Thumbnails! Most of the time, nobody actually sees these, so I make them super scribbly and gestural. It’s a wonder my professor can even tell what I’ve drawn in some of them.
• 3, 4, & 5 - Comps! For those non-illustrators out there, comps are what you show the art director (or in my case, professor) so they may pick out which idea they like the best. I’ve got a guy feeding pigeons in Central Park, monarch butterflies crowding the Empire State Building (for monarch butterfly migration), and a brownstone apartment building with an apple pie and a cat.
• 6 - Revisions! He liked the third comp, but wanted it to be a little more dynamic, so the idea was redrawn and tweaked a bit.
• 7 - Rendering! Now that the final comp is approved, I get to sit down and render it again in graphite. I use a mechanical pencil on marker paper, and blend with a colorless marker blender to get a grainy effect. I spend most of my time working on this part.
• 8 - Final image! Color is added digitally in photoshop, and the masthead is applied. All finished.
