Nesting Screenplay – 95% Done!!
I [finally] got my screenplay to a stopping point. After hearing surprisingly positive feedback from my professor, I may polish up some of the plot and character development. Overall, I feel good about the script, and I think it’s a good first project. Yay!!! So 20 more pages and a bit a fleshing out in… Continue reading Nesting Screenplay – 95% Done!!
Las Vegas Neon Boneyard
I found inspiration from Erin on this piece. On her last work trip to Las Vegas, she toured the famous Neon Boneyard. I was fascinated by her photos from the tour. I’m also mildly obsessed with typography. So this was a perfect fit for a painting project. (Click small versions to load the large images.)
Drillbaby Project
I’m thinking about the relationship of oil (a finite resource) to the earth. And then I played off the idea of “mother earth.” I think this illustration project captures my thoughts. I’m not saying that we’re running out of oil (we won’t for another long, long while, anyways). Maybe it’s a hater’s proposal to find… Continue reading Drillbaby Project
Pistol Cutout Project
I wanted to work with paper and cutouts… playing with the juxtaposition of violence and beauty. Oh, and I’m loving the Camera Bag App for iPhone. Cool. Supplies – card stock – various colors – exact-o knife (these are NOT die cut) – glue

Obama Poster
I made up an Obama poster for one of my 2D Design class assignments. It turned out decent, and I’m glad to be done! I’m having a REALLY tough time finding the original photo in order to give credits – and I’m giving up. So here’s a snapshot of the original photo that inspired the… Continue reading Obama Poster
Screenwriting Project – Nesting Sequence 1
One of my two classes this semester is Creating TV and Movie Scripts. I originally started out with the intention of writing a television series – two teleplays to satisfy the course requirements. So I flailed around with bad ideas for a few weeks, simply in hopes to crank out my weekly (required) fifteen pages.… Continue reading Screenwriting Project – Nesting Sequence 1
Digital Narratives Final
Ok, it’s done! I’m not totally pumped about my process notes, but it’s a fair attempt at an analysis. And I’m still fighting this cold! The project is a simulated space that takes several short stories and chops them up in to fragments and places them at a random spot inside the space. Selected Shorts… Continue reading Digital Narratives Final
Digital Narratives Final
Ack! I’m knee-deep in my digital narratives final project and it’s slow goin’. So I’m taking a small break to regroup before I get back to adding content. Hopefully I can get the messaging added in the next day or two so I can focus some time on adding art. And this coming weekend will… Continue reading Digital Narratives Final
