| The focus of my artwork is the dark and mysterious with an emphasis on nature, mythology and metaphysical subjects |
| My goal is to become established as an illustrator and graphic designer and to create art that catches the eye of the public. I want to see my work looking back at me from books, magazines, T-shirts, CD and DVD covers, software packages, and anything else that can take an image. |
| Illustrations & Graphic Design |
| The computer programs in which I have the most experience are Photoshop, Illustrator and QuarkXPress. I can also work with InDesign and Macromedia Freehand. My other strengths are in free hand illustration in pen and ink, colored pencils, pastels and watercolor |
| Later, I decided to get serious and now have an Associates Degree in Commercial Design and Illustration from New Hampshire Community Technical Colllege, Manchester, New Hampshire. While there I won the contests for the handbook cover for the 2004-2005 term and for Student Senate logo design. I have also designed the signs for the Center for Academic Program Services and have tutored other students and have been active in the "Vanguard" student publication. A former member of the Mancheser Arts Association , I have been an Artist of the Month for November 2004 and January 2005. I have also sold flyers and illustrations to small businesses. Now I have a successful webstore: www. cafepress.com/abbie_herrick |
| During most of my younger years, I was involved in filmmaking and video as an art form. I have won several awards including "Movies on a Shoestring" by Eastman Kodak. I also won a split first prize award in the old "Twilight Zone" magazines's short story contest in 1983. In addition I have won prizes at various Creation Con art shows and have sold work at other science fiction conventions. |
| All my life, I have drawn and painted. I sold my art in small galleries both in my native state of New York and in New Hampshire. I have also sold comic stories and have designed covered for small press magazines |
