(Very) Rough Drafts

You ever wonder why I named this Blog Illustration Split Graphics? Here's your answer some extremely rough drafts of characters I was making. Some are old, All are from quick drawing practices I was doing. Gotta get better any chance that you can. 



 

So I didn't get into the graduates program at Georgia State for graphic design...

Life is fraught with failure and disappointments. Its going to happen, there is no way around it. At one point or another the hammer of failure is going to come down on your head and knock you down, all the way down.

Now what? Should we just sit here and wallow in a pile of broken dreams and ruined plans. Grieve in the fact that we are failures and that there is no hope for us? If you are capable of doing that then you were no worthy of the position you wanted to be in in the first place. Only quitters fail,truly and utterly fail. If you still have breath in your lungs and a will to continue onwards do just that continue forward. No one is greater than you, work harder,

MAKE THAT SO

Now I know what you are thinking: "Justin, how can you have a business without basic items that are branded specifically for you? You know things like envelopes, paper, business cards of course."
