Zazzle Popularity.

I am currently enjoying some popularity on Zazzle. I had tried out a few illustrations that I had done just for fun. They didn't make great waves of sales for some time but now there seems to be a whole lot off interest in the stickers and Tshirts.

 

Begun The One in 102

As this is a labour of love, an experiment and little bit of a learning curve with Blender 3d. I am taking my time. The Author Annabelle Utrecht is happy to wait while she refines parts of her book and so far so good. I have never used Blender solely as an illustration software. I use it more as its intended purpose of a modeling and an animation software. I am learning that it can be used to get both an illustrative and photo real look. Annabelle's brief was to try and attempt a James Rosenquist F111 painting feel. So there is a need for an almost hand painted photo realism with a modern twist. The image bellow is of Rosenquist's paneled artwork.

The story in the Rosenquist artwork addresses war and consumerism. But also how the hopes and dreams of middle-class were tied to the economy of war. Annabelle's book is about how culture is always in flux and how ancient cultures are in decay. I have started the 1 in the 102 title, it represents the ancient existing in the now. It is of a small eroded depression with plants eeking out an existence amongst the rubble in the small protected niche.
There is still a way to go.

Book Title for AU 102

I have completed the zero in the 102 title for Annabelle Utrecht's book, complete with an homage to the Red Hot Chili Peppers as asked for by the author. It is just ready for some colour grading and cmyk conversion. I am pushing on with the other two numbers. The next is of a canyon shaped like a number 1. There will be a track some eagle feathers, some rocks and some blood.
