TREASURES FROM EUROPE

I studied abroad in Europe for a semester and took a life drawing class and painting portraiture class with this eccentric woman named Kathy. She was great, super inspiring.

I loved drawing this lady, despite the awkward perspective. (First picture)

SUMMER PROJECTS 3

One day my dear friend Katrina came up to Orange County and seeing that we had a blank canvas, a pellet gun, and tons of left over house paint we decided to put our creativity to good use and make this.

It's amazing what comes from scattered bags of paint, pellets, and gravity.

The final piece doesn't have the blue tape on it. Eventually, I'll get a picture of the finished piece up here.

SUMMER PROJECTS 2

Here's just some stuff that I played around with.

The sketches are from my sketchbook I had in Europe.

SUMMER PROJECTS 1

Considering that I couldn't find a job this summer, I spent some of my time creating things.

Here's some of the things I created....

I found an old shoe box full of my dad's old treasures. I put it all together in an open frame for him for Fathers Day. If you have good materials it just can't go bad. (First picture)

At the house I lived in in San Diego last year, there was this furniture piece that no one wanted so I took it, stripped it, and re-did it. Sam and I found an old copy of the Wizard of Oz with these really sweet illustrations in it, so we ripped it up and mod podged it onto the shelves and then painted the body of it. I love it!

AFRICA

A few years ago, I went on a missions trip to South Africa

with my youth group. When I got back, I did some pieces

that were inspired by my trip.

Make sure to check out www.lifewater.com. It's a non-profit organization

that builds wells and teaches sanitation to people living in poverty.

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

Last year, we had a branding project in my production graphic design class. The project was to pick any product that's sold in a grocery store and create our own brand of that product.

I chose olive oil.

ASB ELECTION POSTERS

Last year I worked for my school's Student Government as the Special Projects Designer. One of my projects was to design information posters for the ASB Elections for 2009.
