Here is my actual Teddy Bear Timothy and the sketches I’ve been working on. Timothy is a teddy bear who fights with the evil darkness and the nightmares the girl who owns him have been having recently. It is a different adventure every night after she falls asleep.
I’m thinking to work with photoshop and illustrator. I want to use actual picture of Timothy and play with it.

Corduroy is my favorite children’s book. I didn’t read it until 4 years ago, but i really liked it and it became my favorite American Children’s book. Not only the story is intriguing, but also design and the line quality of the book is very charming.It is very simple and it makes you want to see the rest of the animation. I can’t imagine a person who is not in love with the teddy bears. Especially, a teddy bear who wears corduroy pants waiting to be owned by a little kid :))
Frida Kahlo
Self-Portrait with Monkey
1938
Oil on Masonite
16 x 12 in
I’d like to play with Frida Kahlo’s Self Portrait with Monkey. A lot of her paintings are very interesting already. It’ll be challenging to figure out what to do with it. I might change the monkey with another animal like sloth maybe, clean Frida’s unibraws, not sure yet.
Frida Kahlo de Rivera (July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954; Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón) was a Mexican painter, born in Coyoacán. Perhaps best known for her self-portraits, Kahlo’s work is remembered for its “pain and passion”, and its intense, vibrant colors. Kahlo suffered lifelong health problems, many of which stemmed from a traffic accident in her teenage years. These issues are reflected in her works, more than half of which are self-portraits of one sort or another.
Kahlo produced 143 paintings, 55 of which are self-portraits. When asked why she painted so many self-portraits, Frida replied: “Because I am so often alone….because I am the subject I know best.”
This portraits of her include objects that mean things to her like (her longlife boyfriend, her painful past…)
After speaking to Juan and Robyn, I’ve decided that this is the final of my poster. The newest element I added is black and white trees. I think that brought some new perspective to the poster.
After deciding which draft I’d go with, I started playing with them. This draft was Juan’s pick as well as Rizz’s. I really liked the color combination. But the hard part was trying to figure out how to make yellow pop up rather than orange in the images. Since my album name is Yell0w, It has to be yellow popping up. Through the process, Robyn advised me not to leave too much space on the top of my poster. The last draft I have is the most successful so far, it feels like. Just like she said, i filled the empty space with a bigger shape. I just had to move around the shapes and make them bigger.
This is my second draft. I just played with the shapes and the pen tool. I really can’t come up with the 3rd draft. I went with a totally different sketch. any ideas for my 3rd draft?
This is the fist draft I did with illustrator. My band is Coldplay as you guys can see. The album is Yellow–one of my favorite albums. As I went through all their albums, I noticed a lot of changes throughout the time. But most of the time, their album covers have very organic shapes and abstract look. I went with the abstract look for this album. Any Ideas?
