This and That

After two weeks at InventionLand, I am enjoying myself greatly.  I am specifically supposed to come up with weird and cool packaging, get to watch cartoons while i work as long as I'm working and on Thursday, we had a nerd-off.  

My boss may have won by showing up with a Faraday Generator.

10 11 hour days, with a trip to the gym afterwards, are not super conducive to finding time during the week for my own work, but I've been using my lunch break and did some work last weekend, and here's a bit of what I'm currently playing with (removed 'cause I keep forgetting and saving over roughs so the old rough I posted turns all finished and ruins the surprise.)

I was originally going to go with a super graphic style, with big, solid blocks of color -- that kind of 50's cartoon/poster look, like the work of Derek Yainger or Eric Tan...but I may had derailed myself with too much detail.  I'm contemplating doing two versions, perhaps, one more detailed and one less.  Anyway, hopefully, in this largely plan-less weekend, I can finish this piece up, or at least come close.  I have a lot on my docket and keep seeing beautiful, inspiring work makes me just crazy to create.  

In other, adjacent news, I am likely going to be entering some of my work in a show up in Butler at the Undergorund Gallery that is all about Scifi and Fantasy.  As I have a few works of that genre, and this will be added to the pile, this show seems like a good fit.  ^_^ 

In other, non-adjacent news, I went and saw both Thor and X-Men, First Class and just want to watch them over and over again.  I do have some Thor fanart waiting in the wings.  

Also, tomorrow, the bf and I are going to lunch with his awesome ex while she is in town.  I am quite excited, as I like both brunch and her quite a lot.
