new ideas

I want to do a series that allows me to study the difference between seeing something in a movie and seeing it in a still photograph. For instance, you're watching a horror movie so you are expecting someone to die. When it happens in the movie, you may not be too shocked, but my breaking it down into seperate stills, the end scene may be even more shocking. I'm not talking about just doing horror movies. I want to break down romantic movies, comedies, dramas, and even action movies. I want to see if i can get the same reaction to the movie as i do the photos and/or which is more effective at evoking emotion. This project will be ongoing, meaning I will continue to work on it for months, if not years, after i begin. I may even have my friend Christine Zuercher help me out because she loves both film and photography. I haven't talked to her about it yet though. We'll see. This is going to be interesting :)

purify

The obsession with being pure. what is the extreme it can lead to? The tea bags represent the mild obsession and the red represents the point in the obsession when it occurs to the sufferer that their own blood isn't pure. How far will some people go to be considered pure and beautiful? Too far.

still life

self portrait

this is from painting one. Not bad for a first attempt.

Character Photography

Character 1: Wren.



This project is going to be so much fun. I'm going to portray any character that pops into my head. Good times.

perspective

I'm obsessed with how perspective can dramatically change an image

found my camera's memory card

The Jupiter Series

New work

So i lost my bible study sketchbook, my card for my camera, and the plugin for my printer, which explains why I haven't been putting up work. Finally i decided just to take a picture of it using my computer's camera...so yeah here ya go. This is an experiment with watercolor chalk and graphite.

Jelly beans, wax, spray paint


News Update: I have an interview with Mead on Thursday!

Back on track!

So i was offered an opportunity to work at mead as an intern designer! It's a year-long internship which is awesome. I haven't officially been given the job yet but I have sent in a resume and set up a shadowing time with a family friend that holds the internship now. She will be showing me the ropes and teaching me exactly what they do there and what her job entails. Her name is Allison Moore. She got her degree from Sinclair and has been designing for Mead for the past year. I look forward to learning a lot from her! So far all i know is that i would be designing notebook covers, folders, backpacks and things like that to be sold wherever mead sells them, haha. I'm way more excited than I should be at this stage in the game but I can't help it at the moment :)

Wish me luck please!
