Designer? Programmer? Brand Identity solution?I've been maneuvering through what some would consider an art career identity crisis. However, viewing it through the lens of survivability, I call it increasing the odds of success. I've been cycling through the roles of Graphic Designer (briefly at Y&R/ freelance), Teacher (Harlem School of the Arts), Web Programmer & Brand/Marketing Consultant quite a bit lately to fight the call of the mundane day job. It's been nice to work in many different environments as a freelance visual designer; there's an immeasurable benefit to approaching design problems through a different set of tools every now and then. The trick is still finding enough time to draw and evading creative burnout!<br />
<br />
These days, I generally have only a few minutes to sketch, usually on semi-crowded trains. More posts as soon as I organize this art-making schizophrenia. Being freelance-anything is a multi-disciplinary all consuming profession. Prepare thy self.<br />
<br />
Here are a few random sketches, some fun, some strange, mostly rushed and in some cases inked.<br />

<br />Here are a few unused illustrations from the Shark Engine Enigma story featured in Issue 4 of Carrier Pigeon: Illustrated Fiction & Fine Art. I decided to color these initially but a few of the images felt severely disconnected so I opted to keep them B&W. I prefer simplicity.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Still love these as individual images though! I definitely plan to color more of my own work in the future. (Color tends to be on commission. )

<br /></div><div>This illustration is for another CP story due out sometime in Volume 2.

An interesting story by <a href="http://www.carrierpigeonmag.com/contributors/victor-giannini">Victor Giannini</a> whom I collaborated with on the above illustrations.</div><div>

After several emails, a brief description of the design ("Maybe a dog barking?" "Don't forget the red rainbow!" etc,) and a viewing of several minutes of the movie the project was on its way.
<br />
<br />The New York cityscape is an important part of the story. The main character hears voices and deals with a lot of internal conflict and this definitely affects how he views the world. I wanted to express that in subtle silhouettes and distortion. I imagined jigsaw pieces of buildings being forced together but in completely logical ways. Escher landscapes. <div>

We've finished the first few issues and now we're preparing to launch.<br /><br />Now for the hard part. <span style="font-weight: bold;">WE NEED TO RAISE MONEY</span>. We've joined Kickstarter to start the fund raising process, but we have a long way to go. THERE ARE SOME AMAZING REWARDS FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR GOAL.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Check out the site here:</span> <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/929428847/carrier-pigeon-illustrated-fiction-and-fine-art">http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/929428847/carrier-pigeon-illustrated-fiction-and-fine-art</a><br /><br />SPREAD THE WORD. Ill be ranting about this pretty often. We have an amazing lineup of creatives and we genuinely believe in this. We're fighting to make this happen. We have until August 6th to raise the funds.<br /><br /><br />Some more info:<br /><br /><br />Statement of Intent:<br />Carrier Pigeon is a magazine of illustrated fiction and fine art. By giving full creative control to the artists, illustrators, designers and writers, this magazine hopes to level the conventional perception of the singularity of each artistic discipline. Carrier Pigeon provides artists with a venue for telling stories in an undisturbed environment by offering the chance to show full bodies of work and unconditional artistic freedom in both direct subject matter and the interpretation of text. This publication will be printed quarterly.<br /><br />About us,<br /><br />In the last year we've put together three issues in our spare time and will soon start on the fourth. Our main goal is to allow artists complete freedom with their artwork, and to have it commercially distributed so the gallery wall would not have to be the only place left for sincerity in the art world. There are taboos put up between fine art, illustration and design that we would love to destroy with Carrier Pigeon by allowing everyone involved the chance to present a narrative in an undisturbed fashion. We also believe that most people are smart enough to understand art that is not packaged for the lowest common denominator but have nowhere to go for such an outlet in the commercial print world. We hope to be that outlet.<br /><br /><br />If you have any specific questions about donating to this project, send me an email at ray(at)jonesray.comRay Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03430104969464863989noreply@blogger.com0
