Jack and the Beanstalk

Something new from The Illustrated Book with Allan Comport, the same class that gave us that huge Lovecraft project last semester. Storyboards are up next. This ought to be a little more light hearted and a lot more colorful.

The people.

The non-people.


There are tons of versions of this story, and I'm really just picking and choosing things that I like from each one and altering them to my own purposes. I'm going to be rewriting the whole thing start to finish (it isn't that long, obviously) and maybe pitching it around after school's ended.

These were the first round of character designs for the project. Some are more finished than others.

Coming up empty for the Society of Illustrators show was a bummer. Hope it's not the case with 3x3/American Illustration/Spectrum. Congrats to Kali, Aimee, Jess, Marika, Annie, and Annika, as well as everybody else who got in.

Furthermore, like everyone, I am now on twitter.
