Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from me, Design Lady in NYC.

I did two of these originally for my facebook profile page.

This was the first one.

This is the 2nd one.

These were done with Photoshop and Illustrator.

Happy Holidays!

Header illustration

Posted on December 8, 2009 by jerlyn

The header is still a work in progress on the site. I figured since I live in NYC and this blog is called Design Lady NYC. It should have something that shows NYC… so I decided to try the skyline.

The headers were made in illustrator and photoshop.

Variable Tee

Posted on November 4, 2009 by jerlyn

I was playing around with illustrator the other day and decided to come up with this concept: I’m variable. Currently this one says Variable. I am looking at different ways to get it printed but this current Women’s V neck Shirt is $23 each if you’re interested . Oh why not, support the starving artist haha.

This was very refreshing to play with by the way . I used the same idea on a digsby design for fun:

Painting mural with team

Incredible Team!

This is the great team that did this masterpiece !

I got up at 6 am. I was in the office by the time I usually get up. I also had no coffee (haven’t had coffee for 2 weeks).

Our volunteer day took place at the visions vacation camp for the blind. They are actually hiring for the summer so if you’d like to apply you can download forms for employment on their site.

We painted the mural today. Yesterday Rigel and I did the preliminary sketch and today our amazing team colored the illustration.

Click the photo about to check the Flickr PhotoStream of our progress…

It was an amazing team effort!

The artists

I had a lot of fun!

Mural Phase 1

Posted on June 3, 2009 by jerlyn

Today we went to sketch the mural – field trip! We went to the camp grounds to do so… to prep the area for our upcoming volunteer day.

My coworker and I decided to free draw the mural instead of projecting it, since we both can illustrate. WONDERFUL idea!

Here’s a brief journey through photos…

On our way

We had cab service to the Camp

Wow they have a lake!

Obviously this is a real camp

Blank Canvas

This is where we are going to be sketching the mural…

Rigel's sketches

My co-worker took this side

Rigel

Wow it’s a good thing he knows how to draw! He free-styled this very well!

This is me sketching

So far so good…

Freddy gave us Pizza!

Jerlyn resting...

Great Team Effort!

Rigel resting

We deserved this!

Back to Manhattan

So weird that this place is only an hour away…It was nice to be out of the city for most of the day.

High Contrast Mural Drawing

Posted on June 3, 2009 by jerlyn

This is what I am sketching out today for volunteer day tomorrow. It’s for a vision impaired camp that’s why the colors are in high contrast. I haven’t used illustrator in awhile so this was a change in my norm: coding or designing.

Alice in Wonderland in High Contrast

The team is painting it tomorrow. The cab leaves in a few minutes, it’s currently 9 AM. I’m excited about this field trip! A fellow co-worker, Rigel, will also be helping . This should be fun!
