(Color) Hands 2 Serve Logo ©alecia goodman

This logo was designed for the Hands 2 Serve Project. Essentially very similar to the Hope In Action Ministry. Members of the project work to improve houses for those in need and are unable to do the work themselves. Like the Hope In Action Ministry all of the work is completed by volunteers (NO they are not paid, but paid through doing a good deed for someone). Design – It was felt that the logo needed to make a bold statement through graphics and color. It would be used both in print and web… and on t-shirts via silkscreen. For the T-shirt, another graphic needed to be designed that would work complimentary with the original.

Here are some additional sketches from the beginning of the project, a glimpse of my design process.

As I get closer on this portrait to the finish, I keep thinking, I wonder how Michelangelo felt as he tackled the Sistine Chapel. My current portrait is an 11″ x 14″ pastel drawing (no where near the level of difficulty or scope of Michelangelo, a master). His canvas was a ceiling of an entire chapel (take a virtual tour). I just imagine his relief and wonder at what he was able to accomplish. It would be interesting to ask him questions at the beginning, middle and the end… how much would those answers of changed. Just a thought.

Here is my update of Zeus. He is coming together beautifully. I am still tackling his wrinkles, so much detail in blacks and grays. Its a challenge and yes, at times I get a bit nervous (am I doing it right?)… I think the end results will speak for themselves. Hoping to deliver by Wednesday of next week.

Moving Ahead – Finding Grace (IF)

Illustration Friday’s word this week is “Ahead”…. I thought about this and almost went with the literal interpretation, A – Head which would apply to all portraits. Then I thought about it a little differently, what does it mean to me right now in this very moment. To me it means progress, moving forward. Many times I feel like I get stuck, working so hard to move forward. The art work above shows my progress towards completion, my moving “Ahead”.

Menagerie 3 Minus 1 & Pain In The Neck – IF “Linked”

I was wondering what I could post for Illustration Friday’s topic Linked. So I let the word just bounce around in my head all day. And smack, every kind of link imaginable kept coming up ie. braid, quilts, and then it hit me; Family, How much more than that can people be linked? We don’t always like our family, but we will always love them, because we share a link. This is one of my most favorite captured moments of my sister, brother and I by my Dad; there are four of us, but the baby sister hasn’t made her debut just yet.

So my next thought would be to make sure I show her as well… “Pain In The Neck,” and the title is just the tip of the iceberg.

All of us are linked through family and I think sometimes everyone needs to remember that. I just think back to when we were all at home together and a lot of those memories do make me laugh. And if you really try to think about “Linked” I even started wondering about the missing link or a skeleton…. but I am glad I chose the drawing or drawings I did, because they mean alot to me and to my family.

Sad I can’t carve pumpkins this year due to my hand injury. I love Halloween and carving pumpkins is just one of the delights I enjoy about the holiday. Enjoy!!!
