The Blind Men and the Elephant.

These are some finished spreads from my Children's Book class. It was pretty fun but in the end these were kind of rushed. But hey, that's part of life, isn't it?







The story in question is about six blind Indian men who try to find out what an elephant is like, through various means. In the end we all learn a nice lesson about compromising. Or something.

the happenings in the life of Mr. Benoit

My last official day as a collegiate art nerd is this upcoming friday. I'm pretty excited and nervous, all at once. The big things going on soon after are as follows:

-Building my frankesteinian website, www.ewbenoit.com and bring it to life.
-Mounting and hanging my pieces for the senior show at NHIA
-Creating more work, specifically in time to be sold at the Newport Folk Festival. Me and some pals are hopefully going to have a booth there selling prints. More info here.
-Working on the ongoing "Let's All Go to the Lobby" project.
-Bulking up my portfolio, starting the job hunt!
- Oh yeah, graduating.

There's always so much to do and no time in which to do it!

a nautical style posting of images and such

These are two images I've recently finished, one is a mailer and the other is a fictitious gig poster for a pretty great band named Islands. Enjoy!

Roughs for a mailer

So I'm working on a mailer for promotional purposes and I have some roughs done. Lately I've been toying with the idea of using a some line work in my pieces and this is my first real delve into that. Two color comps:



So yeah. I mean, the drawing was just a quick self-portrait in graphite, for the final I think I may use ink. I'm also not entirely sold on the text placement either. The back is going to have a smaller black and white version of the same portrait but with a little something.... extra.
