End=Beginning

As of this Saturday, April 26, (which is also the date of my graduation from college) I will no longer be making or updating posts to this weblog. Instead, I plan on updating things here. Thank you. & Goodbye.

motion experiments

tonight, i was playing around with mapping video actions to audio & this is the result.

news article

the local paper wrote an article about our degree show. there's a nice little interview with myself two others...

if you'd like, you can click the image to read the whole thing.

show pics

finally! here are a few pics from the show.

ch-ch-ch-changes

changes happening everywhere.

also, some updates/fixes at the new portfolio site.

Newtime!

my new portfolio site is up. it's not fully functional yet, but it's up.

thanks

thanks to everyone who came out for the show. it was a lot of fun and a lot of relief. i'll post pictures soon.

stamp!

my logo stamp came in this week so i went ahead and applied it to some mailers. i'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

show updates pt. 3

whew...all the works for my show are completed! and just in time for spring break. this will probably be my last spring break of my life, which is sort of sobering. but alas, i shall enjoy it.

below you will find some very close up samples of some more works from the show:

More Things

here's another sample from my show work. don't worry it won't be all in black & white.

also, i'm creating a new website for my portfolio site that can be found here, to look more like my new promo things & whatnot.

new stuff

here's a sample from the beginnings of a new project for my show...


























update: & a closeup of the finished piece:

senior exhibit

my senior exhibit is almost here. one month, seven days and counting. i hope to post some pics from the planning process.

currently enjoying:
balmorhea - rivers arms
kiln - dusker
tyler ramsey - a long dream...

show opening

i've recently ventured into the world of watercolor & ink. there's four illustrations of my very own in a show opening tomorrow (feb. 11) at the 1920 gallery in marion. this is new for me to have my drawings exhibited, so I'm a bit nervous. you can virtually view the pieces over at my flickr account. check them out if you'd like.

oh seven top ten

every year everyone posts their top ten albums of the year. i have thought & thought and cannot come up with a favorite ten records. however, this year i started listening to a lot of instrumental music. so i will now proceed to list my favorite ten instrumental albums of this year, 2007. thank you.

honorable mention instrumental albums of 07:

stars of the lid - and their refinement of the decline
every gentle air - part 2
kavinsky - 1986
lcd soundsystem - 45:33 (well. mostly instrumental)
cinematic orchestra - ma fleur

& the top ten instrumental albums of 07:

10. the bad plus - prog
9. six parts seven - casually smashed into pieces
8. el ten eleven - every direction is north
7. caspian - the four trees
6. explosions in the sky - all of a sudden... / remix album
5. justice - cross
4. this will destroy you - s/t
3. hammock - raising your voice... (okay, technically a 2006 album, but i just have to include it)
2. mogwai - zidane ost
1. amiina - kurr

maybe eventually i will get around to linking them all...

merry christmas.

holidays

whoa. the semester is over and i am relieved. but christmas break will again not be much of a break. i have lots i would like to do before school starts up for the last time. wish me luck.

also. every year my school has a new year's party once the students return to school (10 days after 2008 begins) called the "rebash." anyways, here's the poster for this years festivities...

high five

here is my final project for 3D class. hopefully i can find time for some more of these guys...

hair!

this is my first attempt at modeling hair (11,000 strands worth). although it's not very convincing, i believed it to be quite humorous. so here you go.

foundry find

this weekend i found a copy of the 1934 american type foundry specimen book. it's in pretty good shape and there's some really great stuff in it. you can see some of my favorite highlights below:







i also found milton glaser's graphic design, trademarks and symbols of the world from 1965, and a very large fold out poster of old type specimens from the the new york public library. it was a successful weekend indeed.

ooh-woo-ooh

today i ordered volume 1 of talespin and ducktales on digital video disc. in my opinion, two of the best cartoon series ever made. sweet.

too soon

it is now 6 months until i graduate.
i'm slowly realizing how much i have/want to do before it gets here.

sheesh.
