Start of week 2

Cover start-ups have started and I’m putting them together currently. Many of the designs and redesigns have been coming together over the last couple of months along with titles/logos. Revisions and more drafts have led to me finally starting on a few more sketches needed for the issue designs.

As mentioned I have some of the edits today to present and a logo reveal for this project moving forward. More updates to come for the upcoming weeks along with more details in the drafts released soon. See you soon……. Off to do more designs.

Basic design layout needed for reference before deciding what happens with added features. From this point forward I knew I wanted to keep it simple as the design is a basic palette and brush.

This is just a redesign after going through many iterations of the basic design with added blotch at the bottom and a few paint swatches. Still too busy but getting there.

I landed on this idea for a simple but effective idea for what I’m making as a project. This is the logo for PM.

P.M.- first week of production

First week of production was the start of details added to artwork that’s being presented in the issue itself. Most of the pieces will be digital illustrations but there is a pencil/ink piece that will also be included. Actually, P.M. will feature a mixture of techniques to keep things fresh but also interesting. The layout I’m going for P.M will be an assortment of interests I’ve enjoyed over the years, when creativity happens,with the layout in books, magazines, and of course other publications.

The logo with title, while imagined, has to be colored and edited for reveal. This process will start this weekend along hopefully with the realized idea of fun fonts. The cover is done but still needs a title placement and the logo, so this will be coming soon to feature.

P.M. is a collection of my life story in many ways so I’m also presenting a bit of back stories that are important to the art journey. I realise through all my years online I don’t have any information about my upbringing at all, along with many smaller details, so please look forward to some memories coming soon.

Here are a few edits of a work in progress currently. This piece is growing in ideas and I have to finish it soon to actually be released on time so I better work with purpose.

color added with outline still intact currently pt 3

Again I’ll post weekly to update on progress with everything….Stay tuned.

P.M. -Start

P.M. - Start

This week starts the beginning phases of P.M. along with needed context into what comes next into the upcoming weeks and remainder of the year. I had recently released my first book last year that showcases my work over the span of 20 years, but there’s more material that has yet to be displayed.

P.M. will start from the beginning of my artistic journey to present day with my sketches, journals, videos, and images i’ve collected all these years. This is a huge project that will be released in the near future; announcement dates coming soon. P.M will cover my story so some order of release is planned into essentially a monthly publication. The format will be produced as a magazine with various pages of content including my personal writings and journals.

This idea spanned into something bigger since last year after finishing the editing to “The Artistic Letters” last September and knowing I had more to showcase. I work on art nearly every week and always producing newer pieces so this will allow for generally more content to be put out in a more organized manner.

P.M. will be labeled as issues by number and theme most likely. Still working on the labels for fonts and titles but everything is coming together. As I continue working this week on pieces for P.M. I will continue to post on the pacing of this massive project releasing soon. Stay tuned.

Date for release (TBD)

P.M. (Working title)

Start of production: P.M.

This week starts the production week of P.M. I will be going into specifics for this project probably in 2 weeks. I'm preparing the layout and scheduling for many of the projects coming together. I currently have been creating outlines for some new works, in progress, with Photoshop. Here’s a quick glimpse:

Rabbit in the field: composition to complete the layout to start working. This is literally 2 pieces layered together before outlines and coloring starts. (Content In progress)

cropped and arranged images to help construct new image. Photoshop helps to see how everything can be arranged before committing to one idea entirely. Progress will be posted in the near future. (Content in progress)

Stay tuned for more updates and announcements starting this week.
