Illustration Friday--Music

by Jordan Reasor

Illuminated Letter (Who knows why it's red?)

As a first year full time teacher, I find it difficult to do anything more than examples of student art. Fourth grade is mastering illuminated letters. Here's my "thumbnail sketch". Requirements: Large Letter, Hidden Creatures, 3 Patterns, Fill the Page. My student's work is pretty amazing. Maybe someday I'll show you.

Maynard Dixon Study

A study of a Maynard Dixon I painted at the BYU Museum of Art. It's a different experience painting in a museum.

We Come in Peace

All at once Edwin and Frankfurt find themselves in an hazardous predicament. We Come in Peace by Jordan Reasor

Pink Square

I had to laugh when I found this file. "Pink Square? What the heck is Pink Square?" So here it is, a work of art that I can't remember creating. Pink Square by Jordan Reasor.

It's not even a square.

Magic Trick

A little something from my days before Photoshop. Created on Windows paint and retouched on Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 I present Magic Trick--my very first computer created, cartoon rendition of moi.

Playing Hard to Get

I teach a lesson on cartooning to kids of all ages. This year I slipped in a few cartoons I created myself. The second graders preferred the image of me on a wanted a poster. "Miss Reasor's WANTED!!! Miss Reasor is WANTED!!!!!" They'd cheer until class was over and we hadn't done a thing. Playing Hard to Get by Jordan Reasor.

Room Service

The illustration is one of many I created for The Faculty Connection Guide for the Harold B. Lee Library. He is my favorite.

Library Power Outage

The image of course is more an example of design than illustration, however, it's my favorite, of those that did not require me to create an accompanying image. A small victory for an illustrator with a design job. Library Power Outage by Jordan Reasor

Acid Rain

Library Extended Hours Detail

Trouble Sleeping? Library Extended Hours-- A better way to get some Z's.

When I created this illustration, I set out to personalize the project. I give you The Ideal Man (I'm a sucker for sweet, nerdy men). So, if you know anyone as charming as this, I'd be happy to meet him.

Illustration Friday: Adapt

"He quickly constructed a bird bot of recyclables and a half eaten waffle cone he'd discovered along the way."

Blast from the Past: Nerd Entertainment Package

This Blast from the Past was created to keep masses of librarians occupied during their off time at a conference at Brigham Young University 2007. It was the cover art for a book of crosswords, logic puzzles, etc. From this original work of art was born "The Librarian" used on more than one occasion as a part of HBLL print communications.

The Jordanator

The Jordanator is a self portrait superhero cartoon born with the purpose of teaching a lesson or two on cartooning. The Jordanator's special power? Huge, blinding hair, that does just about everything: Cooks, cleans, and plays parachute. She inspired young cartoonists to create Ordinary Boy, Hot Girl, and Pregnant Lady. My name isn't Jerry is baffled by the creativity of her young friends. Created with authentic little kid art supplies, this one of kind work of art is tempera paint and paper bag all the way.

What Are We All About?

Take a look its in a book...at least it should be. Saturdays with Jerry brings you original art by someone, somewhere. What do YOU think?
