Fishing can be Violent

A Merry New Illustration

Back to my roots, now that I have some time I put together this illustration. Probably the most time I have spent on a single illustration for as long as I can remember. I hope you enjoy it and all the little details I have included! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas

Love Mr Elliott Design.

Thank You for a year of support, and here's to another!

Super Robot (Stephanie Rose) Illustration

Hello guys! School is over, I'm officially an official graphic design graduate...which means I will be having much more time to do neat stuff for this blog. I will post photos of the portfolio and my booth soon for anyone to see who couldn't attend, it was a blast.

As for this guy, I felt it had been a while since I made a new robot...so here he is, all shiny and new for the end of the year and to kick off my new career. Enjoy!

Stuff

Tomorrow is the Portfolio show, what a relief, today I did this, what a relief.

New Stuff

So I decided to post some stuff I have done at work lately to keep this blog from getting bland and boring while I finish up finals.

I got lots of ideas kicking around in my head that just can't wait to get out when I actually have the time to do them, but rest assured, you will be the first to see them...and probably the last!

It's Official

My site is up and running and complete. Tell me what you think!

Design Site Update and MOOOOORE

If you direct yourself to my design site: curtisedesign.com , you will find that I have put up a nice fancy Under Construction page up...go ahead, take a peek at it. This is because I am in the middle of overhauling portions of the site in preparation of my up coming graduation (Portfolio show is December 12, e-mail if you are interested in going and I will give you details).

I am very excited about all of this, I have been a busy bee behind the scenes getting all my stuff put together which is why I haven't been posting so much lately. I will post soon with pictures of all my stuff I have put together and printed recently, a sort of sneak peek before the show if you may.

So now, importantly, enjoy the Under Construction page...

oh yah, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

A Special Sneak Peak

This is a poster (13x19) that I will be giving away at my portfolio show...so if you are there maybe you will be lucky enough to get one...if you like it that is :)

Enjoy!

Comps are fun

To make up for my lack of personal time to create personal work...here is a post of comps a did earlier this week at work, enjoy immensely!

T-shirts times 3

So I did these illustrations a while back for a client for their t-shirts. I recently decided to use them in my portfolio and I have also created an accompanying tag to go with them. So here they are, please forgive me for slacking on posts :).

Business Cards

So here is a first shot at my personal business cards...as you may or may not know I am set to graduate in December and am currently working on my portfolio show set up. It was very much a difficult task for me even to arrive at this solution for my cards...there were MANY variations that I scrapped before this one which I think i like, what do you think?

Some comp work for your viewing pleasure...

Triangle #10

Ta Da! It was hard to follow that last one up (my favorite of the bunch) but here is the finale to the 10 triangle project.

Stay tuned for more fun projects like this, neatly put together for your viewing pleasure.

Enjoy!

Triangle #9

One more to go, let's make it a good one!

Triangle #8

a day late, but still here...not as good as i promised before, but give me a break! I'm a busy guy :)

Triangle #7

Have fun...I promise the next few will be better!

Triangle #6

Booya! Best viewed larger, click to view it larger, i swear it's not as bad as it seems...

Triangles 4 & 5

Behold. triangles 4 and 5, completing the first half of this creative exploration. As for the second half, I'm leaning towards a different approach to those, get a little more of a variety going. As for now, enjoy!

Triangle #3

4 and 5 due tomorrow...for now, here is 3!

Enjoy!

Triangle #2

Here is the second of a series of 10 Triangle Mastheads, feel free to comment and tell me what you think.

Triangle #1

So me and my friend/co-worker Stephanie decided it would be a fun idea to do 10 mastheads in 10 days based around the word triangle. Just a fun exercise in design and creativity, so this is the first of ten!

Feel free to go to Stephanie's Blog and check out her posts too. You MAY even feel like leaving her a comment? Or me a comment? They are always wellcome :D.

Enjoy!

Glossy Fun

A little experiment with some glossyness and some Pegasis. It's not me, just thought I would have some fun with something different, enjoy!

A Trip to the Mission

Some pictures I took at a recent visit to the Mission San Juan. With a little color treatment that I've been experimenting with as of late. Feel free to enjoy, you are aloud, this I promise you...

Illustration Friday - Wedding

In honor of my recent visit to an exhibit of Audrey Kawasaki, I decided to do a change in style and put a little twist of Audrey's girls into this piece. This is a sad yet sweet image, much like many of Audrey's, of a young girl on her wedding day. Read into it all you must, I had a lot of fun doing it and it was refreshing to try something a little different. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something...that is now an illustration friday post, enjoy!

Illustration Friday - Momentum

Here is another Illustration Friday topic, momentum. Not as good as originally planned in my head, but not as bad as it could have been. Hope you enjoy it!

Selected Comps

Here are a selected group of comps I have been working on for Open House, which ones do you like?

Probably about ONE of these will be chosen, maybe...

Illustration Friday - Alphabet

R is for Robot, a robot from old hollywood film?

Vote!

Vote for my idea thats already been done before, TWICE now...

But seriously, still give it a 5 or I wont be your friend... :D

Illustration Friday - Visitor

Ever see this guy through your peep hole? Enjoy!

New Threadless Illustration

I had this idea kicking around for a while, an idea I felt good enough for a Threadless submission. Though when I went to post it, I decided to do a quick check on google to see if the idea had been done before since I didn't feel it was TOO terribly un-obvious. Sad to say, a similar, yet different idea (the poop was real, gross huh?) had been submitted a few years back, but since I feel mine is better executed and has the balloon poo rather than then real thing, I felt I would submit it anyways.

I will post the voting when it becomes available, thanks for looking! Enjoy!

Bountee Sale

My second Illustration Friday posting, I think I like how it came out this time around. And just an explanation, it's an emergency in the sorts where a giant robot destroys a Japanese city :D. Let me know what you think, and thanks for looking! Enjoy!
