New Projects

Got some fun projects this year,

going to be doing some event identity work, posters and ads etc.
also have a 2d animation I'm working on, simple flash one.

I am also going to be putting together parts for a small magazine, theme of which is creative / alternative culture. It's gonna have interviews with artists, coverage of local galleries, still working on what else (open to suggestions).

I have a few other big works coming up, but those are more of a surprise and I am still working on the details for them...

Since when was is June?

Damn, summer hit quick.....


So, I haven't got much to update right now. My camera with files on it is at a different apartment >.<


But I have mostly been working on a massive research project anyways.

I am going to be researching activism and activist art. I will end up looking at various movements of art and activism, how they used different media for political means. The influences on the movements and what came after them will also be important. Another thing I plan to look into is just how powerful the movement was, as a lot of movements today are far reaching I want to come up with some reasons why from an art standpoint.

This project will also be producing some original works too so I can't wait for that part.



Only other work coming up is some graffiti on girls stuff for a contest. I should have some rough work up this or next week though.

Some Fun n' Shit

Back to uploading.

It's near the end of the semester, been a long one.

Got some new projects coming up, and some things I will be uploading.


I had to design a 7 spead zine for type,
a couple animations for digital media
and random stuff for design.

I have not gotten as much done personally as i wish,

but hopefully that is changing soon


Also have a very large project coming up, technically for honors,
it will be all culture jamming.

Work on Phyred Magazine

So, I've been working on this for a while and it's finally starting to take shape.

As part of a graphic design class, I am finally putting together a copy of Phyred as a magazine.
It's going to be a creative culture magazine, although the first issue is going to be about the creation of the magazine itself...

So far I have a lot of notes, thumbnails, and headaches. But it's starting to produce some actual results in the form of templates and roughs of pages. Here's a couple quickies.

Some New Digital Works

Between being in a Graphic Design class, a Typography one, and Digital Media, as well as making a magazine.....theres been some random experimenting with digital work again. This is something I should have been doing all along, but I'm just starting to spool up the engines after a long period of half-assin it.

This last ones still got a lot of work left to do...

but im kinda stuck on what to do to it.

New Semester....New schemes.....

Got another fun-filled semester ahead. Classes include Digital Media, Graphics Design, a Typography class and Sculpture/Fabrication.


Digital Media: Rehash of a lot of my GDesign work from high school and generic screwing around...still..... it'll be good to learn some new techniques and practice more. I need to get back into cranking out work in all media regularly.

Graphic Design: Intro course. I managed to up my credits for it (hopefully) but ill have to do more work. Its ok, more stuff to put in a portfolio. First project? Pretty much a repeat of my first high school GD assignment. Prolly gonna experiment in free class-time.

Typography: FUUUUUUUUU-/ Seriously. I just have a lot of bad experiences with "typographers". Not all of them are stuck-up elitist pricks, but unfortunately many i have met are. Which sucks because this class has potential to carry over to my graffiti and I also think I could teach some of the kids the free-styling aspect and that some of them could help me tighten up my standard letters. I'll just have to hope for the best. First project? Hand drawing and tracing letters of the "Clarendon" typeface. Pics to come.

Sculpture: Schedules right after type for a reason. Its an awesome stress reliever and it feels great to be working with my hands again. First piece I am making? A Pyro-worthy Ax, hand-carved from various woods using really old tools and techniques.


PLACES: its not one of my classes, but it is the club I am VP of. Itll be a fun year with this. Got plenty of workshops and lessons lined up and several rituals, basically once a week. Also hoping to get some photo-ops with that.



Got a shitton of other things going on to, but I think this is enough of my headspace for now//

Fourth of July

i had a little fun at my college and up in rockport messing with long exposure shots n stuff

found someone tossing up the "X" for Excission :P

i really love getting shots of fireworks that actually hint at 

the explosive aspects rather than just the pretty lights, 

i mean, explosions are so much better than

pretty lights

^_^

all those blue lights? People.

with a few of my friends chilling in the middle of the exodus 

after the fireworks stopped

house up in rockport- i want it

i know theyre overdone, but i love macro shots

of flowers and stuff

i love this shot. her just standing apart from the crowd

during a parade- right as a giant

pink elephant goes by

actually managed to get some shots of lightning next

to the bonfire across the bay, thanks

to my girlfriend.

first time i actually caught lightning on camera

glamour shots done up next to the bonfire,

once it wasnt 30 feet tall

i love hitting up rockport for the fourth,

theres some fireworks around the bay

and a bunch of awesome shops and

some cool artists.

and a huge fracking bonfire with an outhouse and

sometimes an effigy on top of it.

Some Photo Goodies

Some results of my photo class...

Part of our final project...

mine was based around random daily things

creative life etc

Some Moar Updates

Editing a couple photo albums to upload...in the meantime:

Applying for a grant to let me produce a crapton of art throughout the summer, this site will become a main record of that project...so fingers crossed!!

White Line Block Prints

So in printmaking, we started out with this lovely style created in Provincetown MA.

Granted, I had hoped I would be in a class with more modern styles, moving away from the fine art shackles New England has...but i suppose that an older, classical style with subject matter usually consisting of beaches and lighthouses works. >.<


My own bias aside, its an interesting style. I may have melted it down to its base idea and then completely shredded the normal way of doing it though. Already working out what the next block will be.

This is the block once i was pretty much done cutting it

This is what the block looked like after every section was painted

then printed from, one at a time

And this was the finished result, I'm going to be doing more prints from this piece,
but I like how it came out.

Some Updates

So, now to begin updates.

            I am in four art classes now, as well as english (which is gonna make my writing start up again). Hopefully will begin semi-regular paintings, some type of sketch updates....maybe writing as well. Maybe even a regular weekly update (GASP!). Ive also found several possible places to go to for submitting my art, both writing and visual arts. Hoping to use this to get off my ass and get moving.

Figure Modeling- Early Stages

Decided the sculpture needed some eyes >.>

Then a shoggoth appeared.

Also- The plane survived! at least my section did. I guess the school decided to remove it without asking the actual department heads and teachers....but Shingo managed to save almost all the micro sections and my entire tail piece ^_^

possible new set

Thinking about

 as a new 

shoot  concept..

sort of grungy, dystopian, vaguely S.T.A.L.K.E.R./Fallout thing...

more to come.

Dabbleing

hello there.

been dabbling in random things...

im working full time at-the-moment so my art is down to just concepts for the most part, that
will change soon i hope

in the mean time- my tech work has been going further. began studying C++ and a little Java, also working
on other networking tools etc. hopefully i will be writing a couple programs ive had ideas for for a while now including a strong cypher program.

this also means good things for my art- should be introducing some tech things into this....hopefully will
post concepts soon for that.


upcoming projects:

few paintings: eventually
programs: working on it
wallpapers/themes: in-process
sale of stickers/kickoff of design group? its a secret
