Jordin Isip

I'm taking Jordin Isip's class as one of my senior projects. He requires one piece per week, mostly editorial. Which will be good for me because I need to work on my time management & commercial designs. The assignment was to illustrate 'anxiety' by only using a bust (head, shoulders, chest). Here's what I came up with(CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE):

CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

I want to thank everyone who came out to my opening at Ad Hoc, it was a huge success! Theres a great review at www.bushwickbk.com/archives/845. Heres some pics for those who didn't make it. However the show is up until February 15th so check it out if you can there is plenty of great upcoming artists to see.

Also, one of my pencil drawings has been selected to be on display at the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn. I believe it is currently up and will be on display from now until at least summertime. So go see it please, plus it's a good excuse to see some furry creatures! ;D

Brooke-Lynn; Magical Wasteland

All you BK peeps come check it out its at: Ad Hoc Art Gallery 49 Bogart Street Buzzer 22, Unit 1G Brooklyn, NY. Check out the flyer, the other artists and previous and upcoming shows at adhocart.org.

Euro Trash

This project was for a design competition called europebydesigners.com, the objective was "What does Europe mean to you?"
I lived and travelled Europe for 18 months mainly England before I came to Pratt so I have had some experiences there, this is what i came up with.

Celebrity Garbage

I wanted to create a body of work to send to Topp Trading Card Company. Topp is the creator of the Garbage Pail Kids, www.garbagepailkids.com. Garbage Pail Kids, aka GPK, are non-sport cards/stickers made by Topps Inc. between 1985 and 1988 in the U.S.A. Since girls had Cabbage Patch Kid Dolls back then, they created GPK for the boys, to make fun of the Cabbage Patch Kid Dolls. They also do a collection called Hollywood Zombies, www.hollywoodzombies.com, poking fun of the pop culture icons in a grotesque manner. My idea was to sort of combine the two. I came up with a play on words that intertwines an item of food with a celebrity. So here's a few of the illustrations from it: Bread Pitt and Angelina Jelly, Elvis Parsley, and Juice Willis.
