Portals of Others
Sealed ever so mute and blind

Automotive Report Cover (May)

13ShopTestedIdeas_cover.jpg

This my Escher-esque cover for Allen Forkum's auto industry monthly, "Automotive Report". We decided on a surreal approach once we recognized the main article didn't have it's own visual hook.

Marching Band Show

DEVON-U2%232.jpg


Devon's school is looking for ideas for a t-shirt and such that touts their up-coming season. Their program will feature the music of U2. Doesn't that sound awesome? I've GOT to make one of their performances.

Devon is in his second year there playing baritone.

Life Drawing Session

8" x 8" graphite on paper

Spent a couple hours at a life drawing session across town. This one actually worked out. The rest of the other studies? Meh.

Roadwork is to the miler what life drawing is to the visual artist; a good workout that promotes stamina and hones technique.

Art Nouveau Inspired

Nouveau-Logo.jpg

Goofing around with an art trend that predates Art Deco by a 20 years or so. I find it very informative to mimic older styles and try to explore how such aesthetics can be re-made and be used today. Kind of like going through a Goodwill store and finding a cool bowling shirt.
