First of the Absolut Ad Series

This is the first Absolut Vodka advertisement that i completed for my Computer Graphics II class.  They are really quick little jobs but play interesting tricks on the eye.  There will be many more of these as ideas pop into my head.  Influenced by the original Absolut Vodka ads.

Senior Table

I created this table senior year of high school from scratch.  I bought the wood and found the glass laying in my basement.  The table was auctioned off to raise money for the art program at my high school.  It came equipped with seven coasters that easily store away in the side of the pyramid, adding an extra sculptural element to the piece.  I was heavily influenced by Mayan imagery and used wood burning in order to etch the Mayan-style designs into the table.

Cover of High School Sketchbook

This is the cover of my sketchbook that i had throughout high school.  I drew the strange composition on masking tape.

Bike Rendering

This is an image of a pencil rendering i did of a bicycle senior year of high school in late 2008.  It was done as a project for my portfolio prep class.  I feel as though the lighting of this photograph enhances the overall feeling of the pencil rendering and gives the piece more feeling.
Final Dimensions: 24" by 36"

Inspired by A Day To Remember

Just a little something that i did  when i was heartbroken, the lyrics of a song in front of an eye that appears to be longing for something more, something special.

"In Ecstasy"

Scanning sketches and images that i have collected, i put them together to create this final composition using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop CS4.

Type Presentation Page: Giambattista Bodoni

This is a project from the Typography class i am currently taking at Buffalo State College.  It includes an image of Giambattista Bodoni, the original designer of the Bodoni typeface.  This composition also includes the entire alphabet (uppercase and lowercase) in Bodoni type, numerals 1-0, and five symbols that are in the Bodoni typeface.

The final piece is 8.5" by 11" at 300dpi
