Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

 

remember when we had a little preview of the new daves killer bread project?  well now i am going to tell you all about it!

 

sprookiestitle1dave calls me up and says they’re making a sprouted wheat cookie and he wants to call them sprookies.  i told him maybe he could come up with a better name and hes like “its my company!”  i really need the money so i keep my lid zipped and doodle out  some lettering and cookie guys.

dave tells me he likes the little cookie man so i redraw him in pencil for the logo.

dave runs this by his peeps.  they all know how dave loves to work out in front of the mirror and think maybe the cookie guy should be flexing big muscles…  adjustments are made:

this goes over pretty well except dave wonders if he could be more gigantic, just like how he pictures himself when he works out in front of the mirror.  adjustments are made:

then dave is like, “just make him ridiculously muscular.”  adjustments are made:

Au Revoir to OhYesVeryNice’s Laboratory

 

As an intern you have to learn to make these experiences your own. I am walking away with project ideas for the 8th grade class I will mentor this summer: comic storytelling and great perspectives on teaching

 

The Checklist I Made Myself for OhYesVeryNice

 

Ö  Watch You Tube videos

Ö  Spill coffee on important stuff

Ö  Listen to rad Hip Hop and Psychedelic beats

Ö  Draw panel lines very straight but sometimes kind of crooked

Ö  Erase Ryan’s pencil marks

Ö  Eat large potato burrito

Ö  Do bizarre research for Ryan’s detail work

(Where I learned that internet research on ANY topic will lead to pictures of Barack Obama)

Ö  Get my portrait done as I write a blog

Ö  (Twice)

    Meet Bill

 

Uh oh. One left.

 

Party on,

Sabrina

 

sabrinaportrait21 oh, sabrina!  would that we could take you with us on our upcoming relocation to new york city.  you will be missed.

seamus e-mailed me this picture of his hip new flask and i thought i ought to draw it because i’ve been on the same sketchbook for over a year and it makes me feel awful. it’s been a productive year except sketchbook-wise.
