Watercolor Final



I really liked this one. The whole time I was working on it, I just wasn't diggin it. I knew that compositionally, the layout was good, but the colors just weren't doing it for me, but once I did the sky (saved that for last), I think it really came together nicely. I'm pretty happy with it, which is not something that happens often. What do you think?

I'm getting really irritated with spam comments. Blogger needs to find a way to get rid of it. I hate checking my comments only to see some goober has hit it up with a fat slice of spam. Bite me internet.

High Design Street Art



This is a mixture of street art/graffiti and high end design. Both are forms of art that flourish in the big cities, but are associated with completely different social classes.

Yes, that is my face.

Unfortunately, there is some glare in there off the high gloss spray paint, and I'm too lazy to photoshop it out. Enjoy.

the technological nature of design




This is the triptych I did for drawing and painting (Acrylic + ink). The concept is organic vs inorganic, technology vs nature, and how that conflict relates to me as a graphic designer. As a designer growing up in the computer age, I, as well as my peers in the design department, have grown to rely heavily on the computer. i have been experimenting with Art Nouveau as well as De Stijl...two completely opposing art forms. One reich with curves, contours, and sinuous lines. The other gridlike and geometric. Also the missing canvas demonstrates Gestalt, a common design technique that leaves out some information and lets your mind fill in the gaps. Also, the number 3 (number of canvases) and their layout, is symbolic of asymmetrical design, which incorporates three focal points. Binary code is also scattered throughout the piece. Please drop a line. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
