I unfortunately don't have access to my stuff over at the school right now. I'll get my recent stuff up soon.

In the mean time, here's me!

Texture Helmet

I did this forever ago. It's just a freehand sketch of a crazy helmet. I was experimenting with texture and stuff.

Reflex Movie Poster

The final project for the photoshop section in my Digital Media class. It's a fake advertisement for a longboarding indie movie. Not the greatest, but my teacher ended up printing it and hanging the full-sized poster up in the school next to the lunchroom. He did so with a few others too.

Paint Fight Poster

Another assignment for Digital Media. I was messing around with brushes I had downloaded from the internet. I unfortunately made a really stupid mistake and misspelled "View."

Space Baby

I really enjoyed making this. It was for a really quick assignment in my Digital Media class.

Beautiful Urithane

Just a fun project using Adobe Illustrator I did a year ago. 

I started out with a picture I found on the internet. I wanted an attractive female longboarder.

The girl on the right was pretty close to what I wanteded.

I photoshopped her face a little, cropped, and then greyscaled.

Then I posterized her face using too many layers.

 I then thresholded the photo six times, using a different threshold amount each time. I did this so I could get six layers, each representing the different levels of light intensity. I only used four of the six though so it wouldn't take so long to finish the project.

I used the images above to make four layers of shapes. I layered the shapes, and then added a final super light color as a fifth layer to finish. Added type.

Mr. Rabbit's Big Adventure

This is the evolution of a little drawing I did in French class a good year ago. 

So this is just the original sketch.

This is the sketch after I had traced over it in Sketchbook Pro. Only the rabbit it somewhat done.

This is the finished rabbit with wings and arsenal.

I then decided to add a background. I still stuck with a very dark and monochromatic color palate. I added some reds and oranges to the wings though, making them more dynamic. I also darkened the shadows of the rabbit, adding some extra contrast. I also ended up cropping the picture (a poor decision because I forgot to save a version with legs still in tact. I later missed the look of a whole rabbit). 

I changed the background to a much more vibrant mix of colors. I was experimenting with bright colors and such because I desired to develop a colorful style in my work, but I was nervous for some reason. It ended up working out alright.

At the time, I was also pretty excited about a new longboard shop that opened in Salt Lake City called Epic Boardshop. I now realize that the shop really isn't that great, but I really liked them then. I liked them so much, that I put their logo into the picture, using a feeling of extra depth with the type to make things more interesting.

I decided to increase the saturation and take out the type. I like the brighter colors.

This is a slightly less saturated version of the one before. I also added the logo of the local longboarding club just for fun, along with a crop.

So I decided to make a blog. Yup! It'll be my own little secure Pintrest in art and graphic design. I initailly got the idea from this other blog while I was browsing graphic design tips. Creating a blog wasn't one of the tips, but I figure it would be a great place to keep all of my things.
