Jenni
Jenni is a friend of mine from when I was growing up in Mexico City. When I came back to visit, she was my tour guide. During our time apart, she went on to get her Industrial Design degree and went to work with the family business. This day was pretty funny because this pretty splash of pink was out checking drab warehouses full of aluminum artifacts. The cone in the background is one of her first designs and is still a popular item in the parks district of Mexico City.
This is the first picture where I have actually gone through and done some touching up beyond a simple global contrast and color adjustment. I darkened the background and punched up the pink in her lips and sweater to provide the exaggerated effect present in my mind's eye that day.
Jenni is half Mexican, half Sweedish, and 100% gorgeous!
and so begins the adventure
After a 15 year hiatus, I have returned to Auburn University to complete my Industrial Design degree. Here I'm sketching a chair sitting on a table in the front of class (right in front of the Auburn logo on the projection screen). A bit rusty I am ;-)
