It was originally for a charity gallery show to raise money for Doctors Without Borders, to aid the people devastated by the tsunami that struck Japan, but seeing as I was invited to participate a little late in the game, on top of working around my full time job and freelance, I never completed it in time. So it's been worked on sporadically when I've found some free time for myself, allowing me to experiment a little more.<br />
<br />
Now it's time to finish the other illustration I've been working on, shown in the teaser below. I'll be in Maui for the next two weeks, so this one is going to take a bit longer.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">It's always been too long anytime I get a chance to update my blog. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I've been extremely busy this past weekend. I'm on this self promotional kick trying to rebrand myself since most of the work I've produced in the past two years has been mainly for apparel companies, not to mention my full time job, designing apparel graphics for a more conservative, yet timeless, company. While it does pay the bills, it can get pretty tedious working a full time position that doesn't cater to your innovativeness, especially in a place where your creative ingenuity is not in the company's interest. So, I designate a small fraction of time I have at night, and more so on the weekends, to exorcising my illustrative skills and making pictures to satisfy my craving.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

On top of that I've been redesigning my website, and creating new business cards and mailers.

Some experimental mixed media and figure drawings from the subway, the internet, and sketch night at Society of Illustrators.<br />
<br />
I've been staying pretty busy lately, drawing a lot more often when not at Polo. Since my apartment building is just like an art school dorm, many of us spend late nights around the kitchen table drawing, painting, and just being creative in general over some beers and good music. I'll have to post some photo's next time. I've also recently come into an amazing illustration opportunity which I'll talk about when the project moves further into development.<br />

</tbody></table>So, over the past year and a half I've been freelancing for several apparel companies while working the regular 9-5. It's been a lot of fun and I've really enjoyed working in different techniques, not too mention I've gained a significant amount of knowledge in printing techniques and setting up artwork for production. These are in no particular orderJared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34545521.post-57494803077866560742009-12-20T21:21:00.004-05:002009-12-20T22:04:53.217-05:00La Tigre<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/Sy7b5ZUZ8LI/AAAAAAAAAlc/Lx_36hplHPE/s1600-h/jf_latigre.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 144px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/Sy7b5ZUZ8LI/AAAAAAAAAlc/Lx_36hplHPE/s200/jf_latigre.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417509180868784306" border="0" /></a><br />A little something before I leave for the holidays. This was a piece I did a little while back, it was spontaneous and fun. Just kind of doodled a thumbnail sketch on paper and then took it to finish with some reference. It's graphite, watercolor, gouache, and digital.<br />Now I have to get to packing. I'm leaving cold NYC for warm and sunny Miami and then back to even colder Boston to spend time with my family and brother before he leaves for the Army. Hope everyone has a great holiday!

I like the graphic eye-catching quality of the brunette, I think it'll stand out better on a shirt. The "Dirty Blonde" version gets a lot of good comments so I'm going to change up the woman's pose.<br /><br />I really like working on T-shirt illos. It's lots of fun just playing with compositions and how they display across the body. The stuff I've been working on for Zoo York is fun and I really wish I could show everyone, but I can't until it's on the shelves starting this spring.<br /><br />The sketchbook pages are just more faces of the working class, from train rides in the NY subway. Just using some good ol' ballpoint and brush pens.Jared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34545521.post-38704386870709654142009-10-23T01:00:00.005-04:002009-10-23T01:16:03.280-04:00New Sketchbook<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SuE40txJ5YI/AAAAAAAAAf0/8UV8O1smmpA/s1600-h/Feesh.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 158px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SuE40txJ5YI/AAAAAAAAAf0/8UV8O1smmpA/s200/Feesh.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395656306856682882" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SuE401VAX1I/AAAAAAAAAf8/n-cmrwWAxb0/s1600-h/makinmoves.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 159px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SuE401VAX1I/AAAAAAAAAf8/n-cmrwWAxb0/s200/makinmoves.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395656308886101842" border="0" /></a><br />I just started a brand new sketchbook and I've been having some fun experimenting with ink and gouache. When you get a chance to break away from some freelance work it's good to let loose and try some different things. Got some more subway drawings on the way too.<br /><br />Also, I'm always listening to different kinds of music, mostly hip hop of course, and as of recent these are a few of the albums I've been digging. Kid Cudi is definitely one of my favorites.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SuE7DNN7n9I/AAAAAAAAAgE/zVzqoqljMiI/s1600-h/music_inspiration.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 28px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SuE7DNN7n9I/AAAAAAAAAgE/zVzqoqljMiI/s200/music_inspiration.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395658754840305618" border="0" /></a>Jared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34545521.post-40595723871913481802009-10-15T09:27:00.003-04:002009-10-15T09:41:44.873-04:00Deadpool<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/StcjY0W3kBI/AAAAAAAAAfI/kur8u2tgt2I/s1600-h/deadpool.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 139px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/StcjY0W3kBI/AAAAAAAAAfI/kur8u2tgt2I/s320/deadpool.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392817988077850642" border="0" /></a><br />This is an ink drawing I did for the <a href="http://doodlefukshit.blogspot.com/">Doodles 'n' Sh!t</a> blog.

Recently I was on contract with Ralph Lauren's Polo Jeans Co. illustrating and designing graphics and appliques for their Fall '10 line. Now I'm back on the grind looking for new clientele all while drawing on the subway, as always.<br /><br />The T-Shirt design above was for an amateur clothing label trying to get it's feet off the ground. Luckily I didn't spend a lot of time on it knowing they probably wouldn't come up with the cash to pay for it. I was right so, they didn't get the design. It was the constant grammatical errors and misspellings in their e-mails that lead me to believe I might be dealing with children. High schoolers probably. Oh well, it just goes to show you how important contracts are.<br /><br />I've also had a dry spell lately with the creativity. I feel like I need direction in order to produce an intelligent illustration. I never had this problem in college, and I'm going to attribute that to being submersed in a inspirational atmosphere with all of my creative friends.<br />So to get my mind flowing I just bought some of Ray Bradbury's short story books. There's sure to be some inspiration out of those.Jared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34545521.post-10469655843226793842009-07-17T01:18:00.003-04:002009-07-17T01:42:17.567-04:00Life on the MTA<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SmAOea0qCLI/AAAAAAAAAao/y6YwXuok8XU/s1600-h/07-09_2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 255px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SmAOea0qCLI/AAAAAAAAAao/y6YwXuok8XU/s320/07-09_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359299472329935026" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SmAOeCzImqI/AAAAAAAAAag/xynzLmVTcq0/s1600-h/07-09_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 255px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SmAOeCzImqI/AAAAAAAAAag/xynzLmVTcq0/s320/07-09_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359299465881098914" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SmAOekMAIYI/AAAAAAAAAaw/4UduYk_eEPg/s1600-h/07-09_3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 255px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SmAOekMAIYI/AAAAAAAAAaw/4UduYk_eEPg/s320/07-09_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359299474843771266" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SmAOfPkrH2I/AAAAAAAAAbA/_796uEABs1E/s1600-h/07-09_4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 255px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SmAOfPkrH2I/AAAAAAAAAbA/_796uEABs1E/s320/07-09_4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359299486489976674" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SmAOe-zqrEI/AAAAAAAAAa4/nQ7p8q6_dvs/s1600-h/07-09_5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 255px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SmAOe-zqrEI/AAAAAAAAAa4/nQ7p8q6_dvs/s320/07-09_5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359299481989459010" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Here are some sketches from my journeys through out NYC. I've been doing a lot of sketches on the subway, almost every time I travel. The great part is you're bound to encounter some of the most interesting characters which always makes for amusing subject matter. It's funny, I'll try to pick someone out who isn't paying attention to the people around them (ie; reading, gaming, sleeping) and it'll go smooth, but if someone catches on they either feel invaded or flattered. Some people get up from they're seat and walk over to see what you're producing, and most of the time they're amused.Jared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34545521.post-44767487648948615722009-06-09T22:55:00.004-04:002009-06-09T23:58:25.391-04:00Stuff yet to be shared<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/Si8rpz64tlI/AAAAAAAAAYg/Llv8dHaQ8oQ/s1600-h/diversity_stampede.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 188px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/Si8rpz64tlI/AAAAAAAAAYg/Llv8dHaQ8oQ/s320/diversity_stampede.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345539280023893586" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/Si8rqImwTuI/AAAAAAAAAYo/ZStYqmXRxFw/s1600-h/Graf_Rhino3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 217px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/Si8rqImwTuI/AAAAAAAAAYo/ZStYqmXRxFw/s320/Graf_Rhino3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345539285576601314" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/Si8rqWANODI/AAAAAAAAAYw/yDN8upiSE4U/s1600-h/Rhino_assets.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 176px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/Si8rqWANODI/AAAAAAAAAYw/yDN8upiSE4U/s320/Rhino_assets.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345539289173014578" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/Si8rqSH_0LI/AAAAAAAAAY4/4uTlHrBiFdU/s1600-h/the_cool_kids.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 219px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/Si8rqSH_0LI/AAAAAAAAAY4/4uTlHrBiFdU/s320/the_cool_kids.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345539288131948722" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Just thought I'd post some things I've worked on through the past several months. The Ecko stuff was for fun and to get input from the senior art director of Ecko Unltd. It isn't going to appear on any clothing which is why I am able to share it. The top piece was more of an experiment with ink and watercolor and how it could be applied to a piece of clothing. In the second oone we had decided the figure in the grafitti was a little childish over all and he thought it would be cool to draw the rhino in the form of a loose tag with Krink drips. After that I decided it didn't need the figure because it would only compete with the rhino. We both liked the result a lot more. The Cool Kids piece was for the Karmaloop competition that I was late for due to some extensive hours at Universal Creative and my trip to NY for James Jean's Kindling show, which was nuts by the way! This stuff is less about composition and serves more like assets for apparel. I am working on some new illustrations I'll share soon.<br />peaceJared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34545521.post-32516812412187701332009-05-27T01:52:00.004-04:002009-09-22T08:43:31.666-04:00Orlando to Brooklyn<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/ShzVVFQcg8I/AAAAAAAAAYA/OVM7fpfCOPI/s1600-h/the_fiasco.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/ShzVVFQcg8I/AAAAAAAAAYA/OVM7fpfCOPI/s320/the_fiasco.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340377816319689666" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/ShzVVkZ831I/AAAAAAAAAYY/xGBt0TC7Gfc/s1600-h/sketchbk_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 253px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/ShzVVkZ831I/AAAAAAAAAYY/xGBt0TC7Gfc/s320/sketchbk_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340377824681058130" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/ShzVVTsFyFI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/xyMzTJxA6Mc/s1600-h/sketchbk_2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 253px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/ShzVVTsFyFI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/xyMzTJxA6Mc/s320/sketchbk_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340377820193736786" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/ShzVVKF8IzI/AAAAAAAAAYI/f8B9zLLvnwM/s1600-h/sketchbk_3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 204px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/ShzVVKF8IzI/AAAAAAAAAYI/f8B9zLLvnwM/s320/sketchbk_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340377817617802034" border="0" /></a><br />A lot has been going on lately. I have finished my time with Universal Creative developing the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. I worked with an amazing team of artists, architects and engineers whom I've learned alot from. Online it may seem like I've been slacking with the lack of posting new work, but for the past year I've been working hard to help develop the most advanced roller coaster to date. Overall it was a great experience and I'm pretty excited to see my illustrations plastered across and animated through out the attraction when it opens this summer. As of now the work I produced is confidential, but I will post the photos when it opens.<br /><br />I have also relocated to Brooklyn, NY. I'm working on some projects for other companies and I'll post those upon completion. More stuff coming soon, until then here are some illos to chew on.<br />enjoy.Jared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34545521.post-57523984017106459342008-12-09T18:55:00.003-05:002008-12-09T19:05:27.618-05:00Street Fighter Published<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/ST8HG4z2ePI/AAAAAAAAAV8/pk3ORoEd_HI/s1600-h/SFa.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 193px; height: 257px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/ST8HG4z2ePI/AAAAAAAAAV8/pk3ORoEd_HI/s320/SFa.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277945103211985138" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/ST8HGyKQv2I/AAAAAAAAAWE/cZ0L87BfZ9w/s1600-h/SFb.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 193px; height: 258px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/ST8HGyKQv2I/AAAAAAAAAWE/cZ0L87BfZ9w/s320/SFb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277945101426933602" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Almost forgot!

I've been so incredibly busy illustrating for Universal Creative it's tough to get some personal time. I can't show and tell yet but I can tell you that my work is going to be 45 and 130ft tall and over 57 ft long and some of it is animated. Also keep an eye out at Burger King this spring, they're just one of the many companies promoting the new coaster, so you can catch a sneak peek at some of the illos I've produced.<br /><br />Anyway, here are some sketches I did on some spare time. The burrito piece was done on a paper bag from Chipotle, sketchbook pages contain pencil and gouache, and the floting heads were done in ink and digital. I'll try to update more... like I haven't said that before. Time to give the whole thing an overall face lift. I'm also working on a legit website so I'll let you know of that when it is done.Jared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34545521.post-49612347014153333042008-08-26T08:14:00.002-04:002008-08-26T08:33:03.377-04:00Moloko+<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SLP1JSO1GeI/AAAAAAAAAPI/x3x31WBoxQU/s1600-h/moloko%2B_6_cover.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SLP1JSO1GeI/AAAAAAAAAPI/x3x31WBoxQU/s320/moloko%2B_6_cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238800331423685090" border="0" /></a><br />What's good everyone. My apologies for the lack of consistent posting. I've been really busy with work at Universal Creative. I've created 5 characters in the form of a music video film crew for the new coaster, not to mention I've also been storyboarding for the animation of these characters as well as designing graphics for the attraction's queue. Anayway, enough rambling, this is the cover i created for the sixth issue of <a href="http://molokoplus-mag.com/">MOLOKO+</a> Magazine. I must apologize to some of my friends for one of the images selected in this issuse. I gave Moloko+ specific images to use for the short bio on myself but they decided to take several images from my blog without my consent one of which is the Megacon poster Dustin D'Arnault and I designed with the artwork of many friends from Ringling College of Art and Design. Again my appologies.

I illustrated articles for magazines I want to eventually freelance for. The original illustrations were hidden so I had no preconception of what I think it "should" be. It was also a chance to be experimental with different mixed medias which in the end helped me out quite a bit.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SFXOQ2cO2lI/AAAAAAAAAOc/N7lEEyOf44I/s1600-h/soul_chameleon_blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SFXOQ2cO2lI/AAAAAAAAAOc/N7lEEyOf44I/s320/soul_chameleon_blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212298932638374482" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Soul Chameleon</span> <span style="font-size:85%;">ink, Acrylic, & digital on board<br /></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SFXOHzwjWDI/AAAAAAAAAOU/AWD1Tt8Z3C4/s1600-h/fear_factory_blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SFXOHzwjWDI/AAAAAAAAAOU/AWD1Tt8Z3C4/s320/fear_factory_blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212298777299474482" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The Fear Factory</span> <span style="font-size:85%;">Ink & Acrylic on board<br /><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SFXNpRtBM7I/AAAAAAAAAOM/UBMAxjIxwp4/s1600-h/black_crowes_blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SFXNpRtBM7I/AAAAAAAAAOM/UBMAxjIxwp4/s320/black_crowes_blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212298252761772978" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Prodigal Sons</span> <span style="font-size:85%;">ink, graphite, watercolor, & gouache on paper<br /><br /><br /></span>And some sketchbook pages, old and new.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SFXNoYPFxqI/AAAAAAAAANs/-4T-zqpSEj0/s1600-h/skb-12blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SFXNoYPFxqI/AAAAAAAAANs/-4T-zqpSEj0/s320/skb-12blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212298237335422626" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SFXNo-C8cUI/AAAAAAAAAN8/SRYo70IUtCU/s1600-h/skb_1blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SFXNo-C8cUI/AAAAAAAAAN8/SRYo70IUtCU/s320/skb_1blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212298247485026626" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SFXNpL0czII/AAAAAAAAAOE/CPewrMzmFmE/s1600-h/sketchbook_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/SFXNpL0czII/AAAAAAAAAOE/CPewrMzmFmE/s320/sketchbook_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212298251182328962" border="0" /></a>Jared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34545521.post-9808395669831829652008-05-28T10:46:00.002-04:002008-05-28T11:02:37.017-04:00Update!Hey everyone, sorry for the amount of time in between posts. Life's been crazy since graduation. I'm moving to Orlando on Friday and beginning my employment with Universal Creative. I'll be working on the design and style of the new roller coaster opening in March '09. It's really cool, there is a lot of illustration (graphic/ sketchbook style)that is going to be the atmosphere of this new ride. I don't think I'm allowed to talk about it too much yet. All I can tell you is that it is the most revolutionary coaster to date.<br /><br />I've been doing some work here and there and as soon as I have everything unpacked and set up I'll post some work ASAP. Once again, sorry for the delay.Jared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34545521.post-32858561324824311542008-04-10T01:49:00.004-04:002008-04-10T09:59:32.860-04:00Dhalsim<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/R_2qhsLkCVI/AAAAAAAAANY/TdksBxAQPrA/s1600-h/dhalsim_blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/R_2qhsLkCVI/AAAAAAAAANY/TdksBxAQPrA/s320/dhalsim_blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187489841572743506" border="0" /></a><br />That didn't take long. Yeah, I gave in and posted it before the book's release.<br />My illo for <span style="font-style: italic;">Street Fighter:20 years of the World Warriors<br /></span>Coming this August.<br /><br />This piece was lots of fun to do, especially since Udon Comics gave free creative control over it. I made use of Dhalsim's abilities to tie in a good composition. I kept the original pencil drawing instead of using an inked line because it gave more life and energy to the piece. I chose Dhalsim's blue "costume" for nostalgic reasons. It was the color I always unintentionally picked as a kid when I played SF 1 and 2 back in the day.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span>Jared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34545521.post-26801734532489612992008-04-03T22:23:00.006-04:002008-04-04T19:24:13.675-04:00Good NewsMy piece was selected for the <span style="font-style: italic;">Street Fighter: 20 Years of the World Warriors. </span><span>An artist tribute book </span><span>to the worlds most legendary fighting game.</span> <a href="http://www.udoncomics.com/">Udon Comics</a> has asked all winners to try and refrain from showing their work before the book's scheduled release date in August <span style="font-size:85%;">(July for those attending San Diego Comic Con!)</span>.

This is the first sculpture assignment <a href="http://www.donbrandes.com/new/index.html">Don Brandes</a> has ever given, and my first sculpture ever created. It was actually a lot of fun, despite the fact I resented doing it at first, only because of my senior thesis workload. It was interesting how useful the turn around sketch became when translating 2D to 3D. I had always seen it done for character models in animation but never realized how much info you need to rely on until I attempted the sculpting.<br />It began with an armature wire sculpture as a basic shape, in this case a sphere. Then tinfoil was added to create the shape of the head (as seen in the sketch) to create a surface for the Sculpy to bond to. Then I created each feature out of Sculpy individually. In the end I got rid of the military cap because it covered his face. I think the fez is was cooler anyway. I really wish that I had taken pictures of the entire process though.<br /><br />I also just finished a piece for the Street Fighter Illustration Tribute Book coming out in July published by Udon Comics. I don't know if I was selected or not just yet but I've got my fingers crossed. Udon Comics has asked that those who have submitted do NOT show the work until the book is published... we'll see how long I can hold out.Jared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34545521.post-76308072253357826142008-03-16T12:45:00.006-04:002008-04-02T11:18:56.029-04:00Sci-fi<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/R91PANYe61I/AAAAAAAAAMQ/BiRO4hHc6nM/s1600-h/Space_chick018.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/R91PANYe61I/AAAAAAAAAMQ/BiRO4hHc6nM/s320/Space_chick018.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178382011556883282" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/R91TyNYe63I/AAAAAAAAAMg/epeVRxffcNE/s1600-h/space_chickcolor.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 261px;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/R91TyNYe63I/AAAAAAAAAMg/epeVRxffcNE/s320/space_chickcolor.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178387268596853618" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/R91TxtYe62I/AAAAAAAAAMY/vDHBEvkfiys/s1600-h/space_chick_sketches.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 203px; height: 160px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_1dxG0ypbywY/R91TxtYe62I/AAAAAAAAAMY/vDHBEvkfiys/s320/space_chick_sketches.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178387260006919010" border="0" /></a><br />Another Advanced Media project assigned by <a href="http://www.donbrandes.com/new/index.html">Don Brandes</a>. The objective was to create a sci-fi or fantasy piece using acrylic paint. I decided to go the 50's sci-fi route in the form of a comic book cover/movie poster. I haven't shown any process before so I guess now is as good a time as any. I began with the sketches above. Not liking the first composition I reworked it and took new reference photos. In the color roughs stage I kind of already knew what I wanted in my head so I went with the first one. I decided against the bathing suit style of the space uniform adding sleeves and legs. I have had mixed reviews on the font and it's something I'm willing to reconsider. In the end I had a lot of fun doing this piece!Jared Fiorinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055113966793615181noreply@blogger.com7
