I enjoy twitter very much, and have been using it since the bigfoot hoax of 08. Now, don’t get me wrong I appreciate people giving me a shout out on “Follow Fridays,” but when I see all these #FF tags with all these names, how do I know what they do? Why should I be following them?
So, I came up with a solution that has probably been done already but it just seemed so easy why haven’t others been doing it? To do this, start #FF your LISTS. HOW ABOUT THAT! Now since we’re only given 140 characters to write stuff, why keep using tweets after tweets after tweets of #FF? That just makes too much noise, lets turn it down from 11 to a comfortable 7. The hard part will be to categorize all the people you follow, but hey it will help you, and your audience out in the long run.
Every Friday I will post #FF @chadcovino/illustrators and you can see all the Illustrators I’m following and decide who to follow and or, not! Remember, Stranger Danger kids!
Well hey, you’ve been swell. That’s my Tip of the Mornin’ to ya! Give it a shot.
(I picked up a new scanner, it doesn’t like that I use bright colors.)
I’ve decided to go with this image for the 20X run of 4×6 mailers I am doing, but I need your help. On the back it will say one of the following:
A.) “Hey Cheer up!”
B.) “Hey, Cheer up! I got you something.”
C.) “Have one on me.”
WELL WHAT DO YOU THINK?
(not really sure what type of Toucan this is, I took the reference photo at La Specola in Florence, Italy.)
Going back to making textures and cutting them out of paper, but still need to mix it with the ol wax jutsu. So far I’d say this is pretty nice, looks like my old professor Julia might have been onto something when she told me I should stick with cutting out textures. However, this piece is far from finished and I realize I don’t really know all that much about backgrounds. Where do I start?

While twitter did not have any reactions for me, I sure had some for it.

*Note to the readers*
Well Hello, I’ve been in deep meditation contemplating the inner workings of these “blog” things and how one is to use them in a said, “professional manner.” Being that I use this blog for promotion of my Illustration work in said way, I have come to the conclusion that I don’t really show my interests. Well John and or Jane Reader from Reading, Massachusetts, IS IT YOUR LUCKY DAY! My interests are what inspire my work that you sometimes see. So why shouldn’t I share with you what I enjoy? Well now I am, in the forms of news,tech,social medianess, crypto zoology and anything else I see fit.
That is all.

Now this one I feel great about. Like…”really great…go ahead and hit me.”
I’m enjoying layering all these colors and mirroring them back and forth, gives the work some depth. Throughout my school career, including high school, my teachers would tell me to stay away from writing, but they didn’t say anything about lettering.
Not something I’m used to doing but I’m quickly becoming a fan of it.
