illustration Studio Class - Sophmore Year at Finlandia University

Title: Da Vinci's Squid
Da Vinci's Squid is a Piece based off a past celebrity and a animal that would fit them. I chose a squid that is entangled into Da Vinci's beard to represent how he had gotten so much done in his time that it seemed the only way to get all of his accomplishments done he would need a ton of extra arms.

Mc Frontalot and a Panda

This year we as a class had to work with an animal and to have human characteristics to it as well as we focused on the fur of the animal. The picture depicts a German Shepard puppy that has been exaggerated in size and is wearing a police cap.

This is an image of uncle sam driving a bulldozer with missiles strapped to the back breaking through the Berlin wall.

In this Image this depicts the cruel times that had happened in Germany during the concentration camps. The image shows a young woman being forcefully and against her will getting her head shaved. She sheds the tears of all the Jews that had to deal with this and the balance of light and dark to compliment the image.


In this assignment we were to look up an editorial in the news that has either happened years ago or had happened recently. I chose the tragic event of a 300year old Buddhist temple was destroyed killing 1700 monks. The Image has a temple on the monks head shedding the tears of the other monks transforming into new life as the monks believe. The image can be reversed upside down to show an angry monk/ what looks to be an angry monk.

This is the end of my Sophmore Year at Finlandia for my illustration Studio Class.
