This is a hand-drawn sketch for a band name I've been considering. It's got my hands and my daughter's feet. Above it are two mockups of Fiendies posters.

IFDM Assignment 3 Illustrator Experiments

Above are my first meddlings with 'Illustrator'. I'm mixing shapes from my haptic models with vector graphics. I'd like to learn better ways to manipulate the background pictures, and how to crop the overall image .

The radically altered images of me are for use in future gig posters and such (I'm a musician).
