The Sound of Music

Hi guys! This past year I designed the posters, programs, tickets and t-shirts for my school's production of "The Sound of Music." It was an amazing learning experience, as I got to work with programs like Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.  It was a lot of fun and I was pretty proud of the outcome!

False Confession

Hi everyone! I wanted to share one of my favorite pieces I've done. I call it False Confession. It's a 4' x 4' charcoal drawing I did in 2013 in my figure drawing class as my final project. I can say, it is not finished, but honestly what work ever is? I grew up Catholic and recently realized that Catholicism isn't something I agreed with. Confession is a part of that religion and I replaced the priest with a skeleton, signifying that we all end as another number on earth. This man confesses his sins to death instead of God. I know this is a touchy subject, and my intentions are not to tell you what's wrong or right in your beliefs, this is just my own view on it. Thanks for viewing. 

G is for Glitch

Hey Everyone!

This is my G is for Glitch sketch. In my Graphic Design class at my high school we did sketchbooks every week. This particular week we were trying to mimic the book The Graphic Alphabet by David Pelletier. I chose to create the letter "G" not only because of my first name, but because my teacher loved how Pelletier made his "G" from two gears framed a certain way. I wanted to try to do something as clever and great. I don't know if I'd go that far to say I was as clever, but I really enjoyed the sketchbook.

Common Bird

I wanted to post these two images to show what I like to do creatively in my free time. The first is a photograph I took over at Columbus Commons. I have a Nikon D7000 and like to shoot street and skateboarding photography. The second is a painting I did in Corel Painter of a Blue Jay I really like to mess around with all of the different materials in that program. Both hobbies are very relaxing and exciting to me.

"cliche" photography

Hello Everyone!

These pictures I chose to share are from a photography class I took last year at the University of Cincinnati. The prompt for this project was to take "cliche" pictures. The project focused on what "chiche photography" meant to us personally (there was no right or wrong answer). I ended up with around 30 subjects but decided to only share a few. The first one I thought was cliche is of my dog Obi. While I think he is the greatest dog ever and very photogenic, I have to admit that almost any dog/cat pictures are generally cliche. Secondly I chose this picture of me holding a sparkler. It reminded me of something I would see on a Pinterest board, or something another person could easily recreate. The other pictures with flowers and food I thought as cliche as well. This was the first project I shot with my camera, it took a lot of quick learning to understand the basic functions of a camera but now I am more passionate about photography and often take pictures of everyday life.

   

Photography

Hi everyone! Just so you guys can get to know me a little better, I have been interested in photography for the past few years.  I was the photo editor of my high school newspaper for 2 years, and now I am starting to take photographs for The Lantern.  Although I like to shoot everything, my favorite is taking pictures of dancers!

Continuous Contours

Hello!

I thought I'd go first and put up two of my sketches here so that we can kick-start sharing our work. As we did blind contours first, here are some of the continuous contour portraits (not blind ones, though) that I did last year. I started working on these as my portrait skills aren't great and I wanted to start picking out the details of the face and how lines bring out the character of a person.

So, go ahead and start sharing your work! :)
