Jason and I are currently busy making plans to move to Atlanta. I recently found out that I start an internship with Carters very soon. As a side note, I also finally worked on my website again- www.jeanettelyn.com (I feel it is much improved.)
It's a very exciting time!

I've been home in Wisconsin for a few weeks now, I can't believe how chilly it is already! (I had a cold the second I got here.) Besides those minor things, being home has been WONDERFUL!! There's nothing like home. And for many reasons I have been motivated and upbeat on a consistent basis. Well, enjoy the sketch.

Little Critters

Some of the critters I've been playing around with lately, I think they're in the mood for fall, too!!

Favorite Season!

The weather, the smells, the clothes, the colors... ohhhh, and can you say pumpkin spice latte?!

Quick Illustration!

noreply@blogger.com (Jeanette Lyn Henry) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Hello! I did this illustration entirely in photoshop, which is not typical for me. I had a good time though and tried to keep it fresh and not overly worked. It is supposed to be the front of a greeting card. The inside would say something like, "Never a dull moment with you. Happy Birthday." Teehee, it reminds me of my brother at that age!

it's ready...

(...so I'm accepting the fact that a website is always a work in progress.) You may go to http://www.jeanettelyn.com to view my new website. We're still kind of working out kinks, but it works! hope you like =)

hello. Just wanted to write a quick little update. My carbonmade website can be found at www.jeanettelyn.com. Jason is helping me put together a new website right now, which I'm really excited about!!! And it will still be under www.jeanettelyn.com which is sweet. And for now I'm working on a couple of personal projects. Later!

i got an idea!!

Late one night I did this quick sketch in painter...not sure where it came from, lol. Anyway, I thought of a children's book story to go along with it and wrote it out. I'm in the process of refining her character, editing the writing, and laying out the story right now... sooo much fun!!!

just for fun...

I was just playing around =)

Rivanna Park

noreply@blogger.com (Jeanette Lyn Henry) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 01:21:00 +0000

About a week or so ago Jason and I went to Rivanna Park and did a bit of landscape painting. I haven't done this in awhile, so it was really nice!

i think he's kinda cute...

This is one of the many characters I created while I put together my Carter's Portfolio. It would be a lot to post everything, but I particularly liked this little guy... so there you go!
There is good news and bad news regarding Carter's. Bad first: No internship for me this summer =(. Good News: Had a great time in Atlanta during my interview. Plus, they would like me to intern in November! This is assuming they have the budget by then. hmmm...
Oh well... guess we'll see.
For the time being Jason and I will be staying in lovely Charlottesville, VA. =)

My thesis display!

senior portrait

noreply@blogger.com (Jeanette Lyn Henry) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 05:18:00 +0000

I'm trying to start posting more often. So, although I turned in my portrait awhile ago I thought I'd go ahead and still post it. I really like how the senior poster is turning out so far, too!

I had a great time at the Carter's Workshop. I actually used illustrator, hehe =). Here is a bit of cuteness to brighten your day!

hello! I've made a website, but now that I sort of know what I'm doing I'll be changing it quite a bit. Still, I thought I'd put the link up...enjoy!

presents i made for my sisters

noreply@blogger.com (Jeanette Lyn Henry) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 03:57:00 +0000

I know it's a little late, but I made many of my Christmas gifts this year and I came across some photos I took of the necklaces that I made for my sisters. I was very happy with the way they turned out =)

fun!

This is a little illustration I did for class. I thought it would be cute if the umbrella was used as something to catch the "shower" rather than repel it. I used pastel pencils, and for some reason the colors are not as soft and light on the screen as they are in my original. And the piece still needs a bit of tweaking, but I thought I'd put it up anyways. Enjoy!

Transitions...

"Childhood is a strange country. It's a place you come from or go to- at least in your mind. For me it has an endless, spellbound something in it that feels remote. It's like a little sealed-vault country of cake breath and grass stains where what you do instead of work is spin until you're dizzy. " -Lyall Bush
This quote, as well as this piece, are part of the inspiration for my thesis. I'm brewing with ideas and am excited about the pieces to come!
