Kristen Cruz: February 2011
http://cruzship.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 3, 2011. 2010 work- First Project. So I guess I've been hiatus. Last semester we had a bunch of open assignments and I varied them to tailor different styles/portfolios. I realized that I couldn't decide on one style (not because I'm indecisive, I just don't want to limit myself) so I pinned down my styles to Editorial, Cutesy, and Creative. I'll be updating this with last semester stuff in the next few days. I PROMISE! Posted by Kristen Cruz. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Kristen Cruz: June 2011
http://cruzship.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 27, 2011. I took a class called "Synergism" which was basically a class where you combine more than one thing together to make your concept stronger. We did different assignments, a lot that didn't make sense at first but challenged us to brainstorm and think thoroughly to come up with a piece that was compelling! This was a sketch for an open assignment called "Connections". I chose to illustrate the love connections that happen over the internet. The machines were supposed to resemble mone...

Kristen Cruz: March 2011

Saturday, March 19, 2011. My teacher was confused because he thought with the coloring and style that this pillow was for kids, but kids don't drink coffee. I told him it was for Urban Outfitter type store where grown ass people drool over cute plushies (me being one of them). I changed the colors from pastels to more vibrant ones which is what is here now. So enjoy! And maybe I'll make the pillow again one day! Posted by Kristen Cruz. Friday, March 11, 2011. Here's the process. Enjoy! The Heads of State.

http://cruzship.blogspot.com/2011/11/post-graduation-werk.html
Thursday, November 17, 2011. I miss the Alternative team so much! Anyway, since I created up to 15 cards for them and we can't let competitors see our work before it's published, I can't show you the work I did there. I can. Click on them for a larger view ;). I forgot how to spell creepy apparently. On the plane ride to chicago lol. I can't stop drawing these girls with bitchy expressions. aw yeah. I'd hang out with this girl. My friend antonio being a mojon. My attempts at fashion illustration.

Kristen Cruz: December 2009
http://cruzship.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 15, 2009. And I turned ’round and there you go. Been doodling more. I'll put finished illustrations up soon I promise! Now that I'm on break I'm not sure what to do. I feel like I may have split personalities (artistically anyway) because I love sketching fast quick drawings but when I'm using pen I feel I need to draw slow, graphic shapes which is still fun. There is this underlying pressure to find a style and I'm still trying to figure it out. Cartoons or realism? Kids in my ill class.

Kristen Cruz: April 2010
http://cruzship.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 29, 2010. Computer Illustration stuff I've wanted to fix and finally had time to. Illustrator is such a nice program! I don't want to go completely digital but it's doesn't hurt to know your stuff. Fixed this old piece. We had to do 3 vector icons with a common theme and I chose Fatty Foods. My teacher thought they should have something to sit on so I made plate shaped circles. Vector portrait of my sister! Final postcard design. I had a small taste of freelance? It wasn't that scary.

http://cruzship.blogspot.com/2012/10/biannual-post.html
Wednesday, October 17, 2012. So I honestly don't have a good excuse as to why I only updated twice this year (so far). I will continue to apologize on my lack of posts in every post so don't worry! I've been out of my artsy loop I guess. I found out a while ago that 2 of my greeting cards I worked on at American Greetings were published! You can buy them online at www.just-wink.com or at your local Target ;). Gossip Ghoul" My piece for the Monster Mash show! Doodle for a friend. Another fashun sketch 2.
