Guest Artist Lecture- pictures
The following pictures were taken at the YMCA Summer Arts Studio Program in Fayetteville, New York on July 30, 2010. Many thanks go out to all the counselors, especially Amber Brown and Arts Studio Director Kat Kane, for extending the invitation to come and speak to the students about illustration.
The children were treated to a cross section of Joseph Murphy's artwork which showcased his earliest works as a child himself, drawing images from X-Men trading cards, through other early works and studies in high school and college, and up to his most recent work depicting architecture and children's book illustrations.
... and, yes, Joe knows he has a pretty wicked sunglasses tan.

A Blast From The Past
A photo has recently been unearthed of an early work by Joseph M. Murphy. The painting was done during the artist's senior year at Canastota High School in New York State and is still on permanent display at the school. It is clearly evident that the artist's skills were just beginning to advance and have grown and refined since then. For example, when rendering the human form, he now remembers to include BOTH arms. Oh, nostalgia.

Guest Artist Lecture
Mr. Murphy has just been confirmed as one of several special guest artists giving a presentation during the Youth Summer Art Program at the Fayetteville YMCA in upstate New York. Our artist will be lecturing on Friday July 30, 2010 and it is sure to be a treat. In already having ten prior years experience in teaching children swimming lessons, Joseph is well adverse as to what it takes to be an educator, no matter what the field, especially when it comes to making learning fun and productive.

... but it was just my imagination, running away with me
The image below is a finished sketch for a new piece about children learning swimming lessons during the summer. The final color composition is currently being made and will be posted back here, too, as soon as time permits.

Miscellaneous sketches- 1
The following sketches are some long overdue thumbnails that should have been posted a while ago. Each image depicts a different idea as to create a branding logo using a buffalo as the main character. Each sketch is in its infancy, ranging from more realistic to more abstract, but trying to incorporate the idea of "gambling" yet letting the buffalo retain its element of sacredness. Besides using the iconography of "the spade" from a deck of cards to give the animal some dimension, the project objectivity was unsuccessful, but did yield some interesting art.
Something more archaic looking ...
