And! Im back,

Hey everyone!

WOW have I neglected updating my blog. Not cool! Won't happen again! D:

Anyways, I have a new website!

www.alexandracecilio.com

My entire portfolio is on there! Including my music :)

Lately I've been looking for work! Freelance, full time, part time, etc. It's insane how not a person seems to be hiring in Portland, not even a non-art place like Renys! Seriously. Even the jobs I wouldn't want in a million years aren't hiring. It's unbelievable! The economy is laughing at people like me.

Well, that won't stop me from being who I am and being creative! Expect more work from this lady!
I won't be posting any more work on this blog because I have my website that you can check out because I update it regularly. :)

I will be using the blog regularly, though.

Until next time, which is sooner rather than later!

Alex

Check out this website I designed over the winter break!
The link is
http://browndwarfcoffee.com

I fully designed and illustrated this web page for a friend who is starting an online coffee business. 

I used photoshop, illustrator, indesign and dreamweaver CS5 :)

Sick Day

Yes it is a sick day indeed, I said waking up to a cloudy day. I'm feeling like I was brought back from the dead. Feeling like the only thing I could really focus on was the muggy walk to school. I had been very careful of my studies, I had. Attended every class, did every assignment on time. But today, my body aches and my soul is tired. I'm irritable, yes, in that manner exactly. Not angry, not hostile or bitter. On a normal day I am a friendly character, once called spiritually uplifting by an associate.      

But alas, today. Today is a down day. My hopes rise to tomorrow bringing some sun :) Appologies my friends. Enjoy yours, however :)

More Art!

More art! Sorry for not updating in so long hehe.


This was a project we had in our "Zero to Infinity" quantum physics class. We were asked to research a "fractal" in science, nature, economy etc. So I did my paper on the "Multiverse" of Fractals :)

These are from my senior thesis project I'm working on called "Dreamscapes"

More to come!!

Some New Art :)

Sorry I've been so busy to update lately! D: Aaanyways... New art! You interested? ;)

This one's actually unfinished... but it was for a series.. it didn't do so well.. I infact got a D on it LOL. But you know what? I learned one HELL of a lesson..

Lady Death

My favorite piece from this past semester. We had to design a monster for a "Monster Deck" that the class made. It did really well... Calef Brown and Scott Nash took particular likings to it which made me feel really great about it. :)

This one is actually old LOL. But I haven't really shown it to many people.. This was also another one Calef Brown liked. He told me to ignore the critique of the senior class (it was when I was a junior) because he thought it was really conceptually interesting. Thanks Calef, a lot! </brag>

I'll have some more in a couple of days.. I'm away from home now so once I'm back I'll post some more pieces. :)

Happy New Year!

Websites, sacre blu!

I am having some serious trouble making a free website without making it look like a piece of junk. :(
