quickdrawcollective: Can you believe Quick Draw Collective turns one year old this month? I’ve sincerely loved working with everyone, new members and old! I can’t wait for what the next year brings!  This month, I’ve been doing a lot of post-graduation traveling. I went to Florida with Nick to see Danielle and Harry Potter, and I’m traveling home and to Rhode Island to visit family in the upcoming weeks. I started my piece for this month’s theme, though! It’s going to be a fox. -Jessica Some things I’ve been up to - which explains my recent lack of posts :)

quickdrawcollective: I knew I wanted to draw a goat, so I picked The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Somehow the goat ended up having a third eye - so now it’s The Three Eyed Billy Goat Gruff - and probably involves some goat mind control. For my last art history class, I spent some time studying medieval tapestries, and I think you can see that influence here.  -Jessica Not entirely sure how I came up with this, but here’s my post from this month’s tall tales and folktales theme over at Quick Draw Collective. Third Eye Billy Goat Gruff?

This past weekend, I graduated from the Savannah College of Art & Design! I now have my BFA in Illustration (Summa Cum Laude!), and I’ll be moving to Brooklyn, NY in September.  The first picture is at the senior show, where I showed these two pieces. The art is hung up high, but I am also very short.The last picture is of me and my best illustrator friends, Danielle Carey, Patricia Thomasson, (me) and Julia Lavigne. (I’m available for freelance work, so feel free to contact me)

growabrain: Today’s classical Adora portrait was created by freelance illustrator Jessica Roux from Savannah, Georgia, who wrote: When I was looking through the pictures of Adora, she reminded me of myself when I was younger. I always had a fascination with nature and with animals. For this portrait, I incorporated a feather for her chickens, and apple blossoms, which symbolize good things to come in the future.  Using subdued colors and and rhythmic shapes, Jessica renders flora and fauna with intricate detail. Here is her tumblr blog. This is the ninth interpretation of this photograph. I created a special webpage which lists all the previous art versions used. Please click here to see them all. Thank you so much, Jessica! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Click on the ‘Adora Art’ tag to see the complete progress of this project since the first portraits of Adora were made, a total of over 590 original artworks I had the awesome opportunity to do a portrait for a lovely girl. This is Adora, and her parents are trying to get over 1000 artists and illustrators to contribute portraits of their daughter. I thought the cause was so special that I couldn’t say no! Be sure to check out the other portraits on their blog.

One of my favorite quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt! I hand-lettered this for the Girls Room gallery show. My mom came to the show, and when she saw it, she told me that was one of her favorite quotes too. That meant so much to me, because I can see where I get my strength (and sometimes stubbornness) from. Love you, Mom!

Here’s the final Joan of Arc! I posted a teaser of it last month and I’m really excited to finally share it. I wanted the image to be more about finding the type within the details rather than what her face would really look like.  She’s currently on display at Gallery LeSnoot for the rest of the week! Thanks to those who stopped by for The Girls’ Room and made it such a success.

I wanted to put out a quick reminder that THE GIRLS ROOM is happening this Friday in Savannah, GA at Gallery LeSnoot! The event starts at 7:30. I haven’t shared a lot of my work from the show yet but it’ll all be posted soon afterward. In case you need some more reasons to go…. We have been slaving away making zines and cootie catchers! Zoë made some boob pins! Danielle made us awesome profile pictures! And a lot of us are making little patches and other small items for purchase!
