Three of the digitally colored images from thesis. A few I'm still toying with while progressing on to other finals. It's near the last month of school and I'm surprisingly relaxed despite all I have yet to do and the fact that harsh reality should come crashing down on my head at any moment. I'll try and enjoy this while it lasts.
The art, narratives, and incessant ramblings of illustrator and storyteller Colleen Wilson. This personal blog chronicles her adventures and evolving work as she makes the transition in to the professional art world.

Official Resume
My (for now at least) official resume. If anyone knows how to link this to a tab on the side of the blog, please let me know. I'm still in many ways inexperienced with blogger and cannot for the life of me figure it out.

2 More Thesis Works
Greetings!
Here's two more graphite pieces from thesis. This project is a series of images that can function both as a children's book and as an illustrated poem based on song lyrics a talented young musician I know has written about the life of a tree. I'm finishing up the next batch and also doing color studies that shall be added shortly.
My resume will also be uploaded shortly. Once I figure out how to upload it on to the pages in blogger. Actually, if anyone could give me some advice on that I would be most obliged.

One Fine Night: Logo
While finishing up thesis and learning the basics of Book Making, I'm also continuously working on old projects from over the years. This was a logo I'd originally designed for One Fine Night, a comic idea I was exploring in Concept Art last semester, and revamped for a Halloween Matchbook design in Book Making.
I'll be updating this shortly with an image of the final piece.

Some Thesis Images
Question: Is it possible to forget not only to update your blog but that you have a blog altogether?
Answer: Yes. Apparently quite simple.
Some older projects have been temporarily moved to the back burner for plot and design development to make way for pieces thesis and other storytelling and book making projects that will need to be completed this semester. Other than that, not much has changed since last year. I realize I haven't put much thesis related work up here yet, mainly because it's production has been all over the place. So for now, here's a couple of pencil images and one watercolor, although I'm don't think I'll be using this piece for a final or working in watercolor overall for this project. I will delve more in to the plot, concept, and creation process later on.
Until then.

One Fine Night: Characters 1-4
Merry Christmas and Yuletide Cheer! Hope your year's end is going as fantastically as mine, fantastic in the sense that I am determined to finish up some projects and I may actually be able to do so by my own preset deadlines.
These character designs are from my Advanced Concept Art final with the working title One Fine Night. The plot is essentially a ghost story, hence why I've drawn certain characters in both their living and dead forms, but I'm still working some of the kinks out of it. This project has been three years in the making for me and the assignment gave me a chance to really start fleshing it out. I plan on seeing it through to publication and will delve more into the plot on this site as I have more work to show for it.
For now, everyone enjoy what's left of 2012 as we beckon forth another year of magic and wonder!

Gabriel Iglesias, Hot and Fluffy Fan Card
Is anyone here a fan of Gabriel Iglesias?
If your answer is no, I strongly disagree with your opinion but respect it none the less. Gabriel Iglesias, a.k.a. the Fluffy Guy, is a hilarious comedian with fantastic storytelling and voice acting ability. I strongly suggest you look him up and will provide some links to aid in this process.
My mom and I are both huge fans of his and so
for her birthday I made her a card of Gabriel doing what he does best: Being hot and fluffy. I also took that and made a Christmas variation, which I will now use to emotionally scar my relatives.

Dear Mom, I couldn't find you anything sweet and sentimental for your birthday...
On a slightly less professional note: I'm totally going to send this to Gabriel and see if he likes it!!!
