Rob & Lindsey’s Wedding
I had to replace the audio track with a pre-licensed song. Not loving that… because it sounds way, way better with “Question” by Rhett Miller. But whatever.
BE Combined: New Banner Graphic
BE Combined has a new header graphic. Thanks to the phenomenal work over at Web Designer Wall, I tweaked a photoshop file from the photo strip tutorial and brought the image to life.
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

VAMPALIN! Rahr!!! This Year’s Pumpkin Stencil
I’m SUPER pumped about the upcoming election. I cannot think about a much better way to voice my opinion to fellow Halloween party-goers and trick-or-treaters than in a pumpkin. So here’s vampalin and all her glory.
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
Sound Design: Mood Project
We’re working on a mood simulator in sound design class. I must confess, I’m a total noob at designing sounds and I probably will never be good at doing sound work. However, it feels good to take a class on this subject and participate in the exploration of new ideas. The assignment: Design 6 ten-second-length… Continue reading Sound Design: Mood Project
