I was inspired by a coworkers tattoo, who is an amazing designer. I thought I would have fun and throw my own spin on it. :)

Found a tutorial in a Photoshop magazine. I thought I would give it a try and see if I could get anything out of it. I just learned an interesting way of using the warp tool and selecting odd shapes with the marquee tool to delete certain objects. It's always refreshing to do stuff that's outside my realm of things.

Book Marks

2009-10-21T01:47:00.002-05:00

These are a couple of book marks I did for work. I went with a scrapbook feel to it. I thought it would be cool to be able to add your own picture onto your book mark to make it more personal.

This is just a preview of what I have been working on lately. I have been putting this one off for quite some time, but I am finally getting back into drawing and illustrating again. I took some crumbled up sheets of aluminum foil and scanned them to use as textures for his suit. I am still trying to tweak a few things and maybe let the aluminum show through a little more. Overall, I am having fun with this one.

I recently got into playing an online, first person shooting game called, Urban Terror. I honestly hated playing first person shooters until a few of my coworkers introduced me to this game, and it has been fun being able to shoot some people (not real people) after a long hard day of designing..hahaha... I also started commenting on their forums and was asked to do a signature. So, this is something I whipped up and had some fun doing some grungy stuff.

Congratulations

R.I.P.

2008-10-23T23:12:00.006-05:00

It has been a very long time since I have posted any new stuff. Unfortunately my computer died. My hard drive crashed and I lost everything on it. Not thinking something like this would happen so soon, I didn't bother to back up my stuff. :(

Suprisingly I am not really that upset about losing everything I've done this past year. I have to look at this in a positive way for me to start over and create better work. I believe it is the work that I produce after college is more important and the work I did in school.

drawing

2008-08-13T07:46:00.002-05:00

Here is something that is in the works right now. I'm going to focus more on the drawing before I take it into illustrator.

T Shirt Design

2008-07-30T14:26:00.001-05:00

This was a collaboration piece. I was given the art with the mask and the rose sitting on top of piano keys, and I decided to add a little more flair to it.

Dancing Mariachis

2008-04-02T12:59:00.003-05:00

Here is a 10 second animation that I did in my motion graphics class. Again we had to use a television network, but it had to be ten seconds. Still needs some tweaking but I thought I would go ahead and post it.

Logo animation

2008-03-20T17:08:00.001-05:00

This was an assignment for my motion graphics class. We had to pick a television network and animate their logo.

The Star

2008-03-17T12:24:00.002-05:00

2008-02-28T04:26:00.008-05:00

This is a video that I'm working on in after effects. I'm learning how to rig a character in illustrator to animate in after effects. I'm just experimenting and having fun with this. Just a reminder, I'm still learning so I'm not a pro at this yet.

The Sun

2008-02-26T17:59:00.003-05:00

I did a few variations of the sun. Joe Thiel (my illustration teacher) wants me to stick with the one with no face, but I like one with a face. I'm not sure which one I will choose for thesis. I have no time to decide, I have a lot of work ahead of me and I'm currently working on "The Star." I'll have that up soon.

The Moon

2008-02-13T07:08:00.001-05:00

I'm still playing with the idea of the mix culture of Latin America in the U.S. In the dark part of the moon I have a drawing of the Aztec Moon Goddess. I'm probably going to keep working on the flag to make it look more like an American flag.

The background was pretty cool so I thought I would post it since it gets lost in the final.

2008-02-12T20:52:00.000-05:00

This is kind of a collaboration with my girlfriend, Kelly Versaggi who is a senior computer animator here at Ringling. She needed a movie poster for thesis, so I let her have fun with the Boo Boo Monster. This image will be pinned on a bedroom door of her thesis animation.

The skull is an aztec symbol of death which seems to have me in its mind as much as I have death in mine.

Experimentation

2007-12-04T23:28:00.000-05:00

Here is a self portrait that I did to try out some different things. It wasn't that well received by Thiel. He pretty much ripped it off the wall and crumbled it into a ball to throw it back at me. hahaha. I thought I would do a more conceptual self portrait on how I feel about this year. I feel like I can absorb in everything like a sponge and produce an image "from the heart." I feel like by doing everything from the heart I am being true to myself and producing art is becoming more fun and exciting everyday.

Below is a self portrait I did my junior year. It was a very crazy year for me so this is pretty much how if felt about that year. I stretched a piece of fabric over wood and the rest is paper cut out that I painted with acrylics and pasted together.

Here is a finished piece for my children's book that I'm trying to write. In the beginning he gets out of bed and looks out the window to see a bright sunny day. He gets really excited, because he gets to go outside and play with his friends. He runs to the door and as soon as he opens it up, its poring. Kinda of a like a typical day in Florida.

2007-03-16T02:41:00.000-05:00

This is a mixed media piece. It is an illustration of an article that I found in 'Time Magazine' about Marines in Iraq. The Blue Platoon were being attacked by Rocket Propelled Grenades and watched their comrades die. Even though they had a chance to pull out of Iraq, they wanted to stay to fight in honor of their friends.
