  • Art Director

    I directed this shoot for my new media photography assignment. My photographer was Erika Belanich. More from this series to come. 10-29– update: I printed this on a photo printer. My final project for this module. I slightly edited some of these, but I mostly like the raw untouched images.

  • Window Light Assignment

    Here are the edited photographs from last week’s shoot with Canadian Mike. It turned out well. (I submitted an unedited version of mikewindow2 and the class didn’t say anything about it because there was some time management issues and we just needed to plow through the end of the critique.) I was very impressed with…

  • Drawing Paper and Ink Ideas

    Long past couple of days… not enough sleep, I suppose. Yesterday, I drew paper, crumpled paper. It was to get some practice looking at abstract shadows, making no assumptions on how it’s supposed to look. Exercises in seeing. One drawing was created using a paper stump dipped in charcoal dust and another was done when…

  • Cut and Paste, For Real

    I purchased a self-healing mat. It is made out of a certain kind of material that apparently negatively affects the users reproductive health. There was a warning label on the package saying so and to wash your hands immediately afterward… Ehew. You’d think there’d be a better alternative at this point, disposable ones? Better orgnization…

  • Pen and Nib Drawing

    I’m bleary-eyed from staring at a piece of paper for an hour. The time flew as I listened to KEXP and put my nib to the paper. That’s right, nib. It’s the metal part that costs a buck fifty at your local art store. It’s beautiful. The lines made by the India ink are so…

  • Illustrator Spaceship

    This is my first assignment for my Adobe Illustrator Class. It was critiqued in class today. Some peeps really liked the vertical craters. I told the class my shpeal about how I created the background by making lots of triangles and the “draw inside” option for the moon, and spaceship. This was a fun project…

  • My Typey McFaceface

    Today, I submitted this word art for the assignment of making the word like the word and my teacher said and I quote “It is very sucessful.” I don’t know how art can be sucessful in the sense that the best art is (in my opinion) done for it’s own sake and external influences, and…

  • Floating

    In New Media class today, we talked about photography. We poured over our photos from last week. The teacher with his veteran eye, giving his critique on each one, mostly a softy. He said I did nice work. He had nothing bad to say after I explained why there was a school bus in the…
