olan montgomery

i chose for my artisit olan montgomery. i had no idea who to chose so on google i typed in portrait artist. i was drawn to his bright and fun colors and enjoyed researching about his work. heres a little bit about him...

Olan is a second generation New York pop artist. In an interview he states he focuses on eyes in his work because they can tell a story and are windows to the soul. He is an extreame activist and his current show consists of all of his work covered in plastic to convey the amount of trash society produces. He creates bright vibrant pieces to portray people from all walks of life, from celebrities to those who are homeless. He uses his work to recapture all that moment can offer. 

"Art can beautiful and push the envelope at the same time," states artist Olan

this was my version of his artwork....

self portrait

i made this collage out of paper and transferred the same idea to the computer using illustrator. i had the hardest time making it look similar and am not happy with its results. it looks a lot cooler on paper!

kitten via illustrator

i absolutely love this cat. it was my first time using illustrator and really enjoyed it. i like the bright colors that i chose although it looks kind of clown like.  

Illustrator!

meet the stick family. it was my first time ever attempting illustrator. i think they turned out pretty good. 

my first logo i created was one of the city. i chose the city because after just moving to the phillyand really acclimating i've grown to feel as if it were really home.

me second logo is a palm tree. i love the beach and palm trees and doodle them all the time. i collect little palm trees and if i could have a real one in philadelphia i would.

6 word memoir

my six word memoir:

i am always one holiday behind.

i think that i did this project about 100 times. i really liked working with word. i had no idea it could do so many things! but i chose this one because my mom for every holiday except mothers day always gets me some sort of festive socks. so i have grown to have a huge collection of completely ridiculous socks. i love it :)

Helvetica

this movie was really intense. i had no idea that people were so enthusiastic about type, but it does make sense the impact that it has. i never thought of it like the way in which the creators presented it. here are some examples of helvetica in the real world..

comments on 3 of jille's websites...

ordinary comics.

i thought this website was awesome. the little comics are simple and interesting and i enjoyed looking through the different days of the calendar. i like how the artist took everyday objects and made them into something beautiful.

1000 journals.

i thought this website was pretty cool. i liked being able to compare how some people use their sketchbook because i am just starting mine for another class. its really inspiring how people people can take 2 simple pages and do so many different things.

core77.

i found this website really interesting. while browsing through i found references on school, photography and various opportunities being advertised. i think this site is really cool and helpful and i will definitely keep it for the future!
