Sketches

Here are some ink wash sketches of fantasy based stuff.  I have this toned paper journal that I am trying to fill up with this stuff, so here are a few but more are on the way.

Waterfall 2010

Here are shots of waterfalls in the Columbian Gorge that I took this year.

Chipped

For our 3D design class final we were to cast 10 plaster sculptures from a silicon mold that received it's initial shape from a clay sculpture.  Mine was of a eerie trippy tree.  After a discussion in class about the mountains of Italy and their current condition due to years of mining for art I got the idea to slowly chip the piece down to nothing but a mound and then have a single sprout coming up.  A sort of symbol for hope against all the destructive nature of the artist, using endless paper and materials from the earth just for art-sake.  I wanted to show that despite all the mining, the message inspires a generation that help fight global destruction of the planet.  So in this case.. it's worth it.

I named the piece CHIPPED referring to how we chip the environment away to obtain the look we want from it.

  

A few old designs

Here are some examples of what I can do in photoshop using vectors and other tools

The Lovely...

..Chantil,
I did a photo shoot with my girlfriend at this park/baseball diamond in SE Portland.  It was a dismal day, but that gave it a certain atmosphere that turned out well.
