Ink sketches of animals, birds, and insects from reference. Ink sketches of a clothed figure from an open studio session.

Intro to 2D

Final Project. It needed to have a character carrying something, walking, and jumping...

2 Weeks Notice

"Blood Rainbow over Frog Island"
"Notice to Vacate"

I did these paintings for a group show call "2 weeks notice". We got offered the show with less than 2 weeks to make the art. These are some of the only paintings I have ever done. I really need to learn how to paint.

Metamorphosis

Title sequence for a yet-to-be-made film interpretation of Kafka's Metamorphosis.

I was hoping to revisit this and make it better, but it probably won't happen.

Laremy - Guardian Angel

Intermediate 3D Modeling

This is my first character model. He is based off of a random drawing I did about 5 years ago. It was sort of difficult to imagine what he might look like from the side or back.

His name is Laremy. He was one of God's early prototypes for the first man, but he didn't quite work out. God felt sorry for him and gave him different odd jobs up in heaven, including guardian angel. Unfortunately, he just wasn't cut out for that type of work. To be continued...

The Fall of Man

Anatomy and Movement

A very short animation of a man falling. A model was used for the primary reference material. I tried to "jazz" mine up a bit. Thank you Wolf Eyes for being scary.

Polygon Man

Intermediate 3D Modeling

This was a speed model that I did in class. The theme was "Polygon". It took me about half an hour. I tied for first place and lost the winning prize in a computer generated buffalo nickel coin toss.

Panda Panda Panda

Image Manipulation

Photo composite.

Beastwood Soundcraft

Intermediate 3D Modeling

Hard Surface Model. This is a wind and sound powered vessel. The sails are primarily used for steering and the sub bass keeps the boat aloft. There are two MPC 2000 Samplers built into the dash for precise altitude control and sweet beat making capabilites. Whilst in the water, the speakers enable the passengers to communicate directly with whales and other intelligent marine life. Once this vehicle is fully operationable, I will discontinue this blog. Thank you for understanding.

Breathe

A composite of several different photos. But what does it mean? It doesn't mean that i'm a hippie, if thats what you are thinking. Just because i like hummus... Seriously, I live in Portland. You don't like hummus?

Zombies

Image Manipulation

Using Color in Photoshop. Whoooo! Sometimes I create things that make me laugh a lot, but no one else laughs with me. I'm pretty sure that this is one of those things.

Major and Miner

Color Theory

Final project. It involved showing examples of different value keys and color schemes. It seemed most fitting to go with a rather juvenile play on words... I just don't want anyone to think that I'm above that sort of thing.

Self Portrait

Drawing II

Non realistic self portrait. Charcoal and Ink.

Moment of Clarity

3D Modeling and Animation II

Conceptualize and create a short animation in Maya... Model and texture the exterior and interior. Then animate a pre-rigged character (Bloke). Fart sounds are optional.

Originally, the staircase was ridiculously high. I thought it would be funny, but no... just sort of boring. I posted a few early renders for kicks. hah.

I Want to go to Tokyo!!!

This was made for a contest put on by KGW NewsChannel 8 and Port of Portland. I came in second and scored some round trip tickets to Tokyo. Me and my lady friend (my lady friend and I?) will be going there this winter.

I'm Going to Tokyo!!!

The video itself is pretty much just a bunch of stills thrown about in several layers in Premiere. Very primitive. I played guitar and sang over a little looped beat I made on my SP-404.

Where the f--k is Elliot?

Color Theory

The was a project exploring how line color effects the overall color and mood of a composition.
