For this week's topic I started doodling some water splashes in photoshop and it eventually evolved into a fish. I've been studying Korean lately (I'm half Korean but never fully learned the language), so the Korean word for 'fish' or '물고기' (mulgogi) came to mind, which literally means water (mul/물) meat (gogi/고기), which I find pretty amusing. I thought this might make a nice book/cd cover or something, so I added my name at the bottom as the author.Kerri Aitkenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18348454368710631359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012998321182845147.post-21961458412816087102013-05-23T11:02:00.000-07:002013-05-23T11:03:58.261-07:00What's this, updates?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A made up book cover for my portfolio. I've been toying with a bit more of graphic, retro style recently. I kinda dig it. But what's with that funny name? (hint: it's an anagram.)</div>

This one was a lot of fun to do. I LOVE night scenes, and I also have a ridiculous obsession with string lights/lanterns, so sort of a win-win here. Besides, ramen is awesome. </div>

Last week I had the tremendous opportunity to fly to New York City to see the Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Exhibition! This year saw a mind-blowing 8,119 entries, with only 249 accepted, so I was very honored and excited to have been one of those who got in.<br />

The background isn't quite finished yet. I
feel like it's been forever since I've done any fantasy type work, so I
thought I'd go back to my roots a little with one of my favorite
mythological creatures. <br />
<br />
<br />
It's somewhat based off a piece I did a few years ago:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mostly because I always wanted to go back and do a more interesting background for this but never got around to it. My style has evolved a lot since then, so I guess I've ended up re-imagining it instead. <br />
<br />
<br />
Also, some sketches:<br />
