lion sculpture

This is a sculpture of a lion I did a couple years ago in my sculpture class at my community college. It is about 2 feet tall

Color Theory Project

Thought I would share with you guys a project I did for my color theory class about a month ago. The contrast of warms and cools along with the reddish black background make the blues and greens pop more

bell pepper

For my life drawing class, we have an object investigation assignment. My object is a bell pepper, and I decided to take some photographs and do some simple photoshop work to them.

Color theory project

This assignment for my color theory class was to create an image that used only colors of full saturation. It was from a couple months ago but my teacher allowed me to redo it. So I went at it with photoshop to practice my skills a bit more and this is what I came up with.

Dan Hillier

This is one of the best artists I have discovered in a while...the art of Dan Hillier is reminiscent of surrealist collage. His combination of using Victorian age styles with his metamorphism of human and animal suggests the mystery of the supernatural. To see more of his work visit http://www.danhillier.com/#/?image_id=ae_09

Travis Louie

This artist i just recently discovered just came out with an exhibition titled, "The Creature Show." He has many acrylic paintings that take you to a past that never was and a reality that can never be. I love his ideas and creativity, and if you like what you see you can always see more at HiFructose magazine's website...

Paco Pomet

I recently was checking out HiFructose magazine's website and discovered Paco Pomet, this particular painting is one of my favorites I saw. There are many other excellent paintings to check out if you want at http://www.hifructose.com/the-blog/1409-the-art-of-paco-pomet.html
It looks as though he takes vintage pictures and puts his own little twist on it, hope you enjoy.

Josh Keyes

Josh Keyes' art is greatly influenced by the cold harsh truths of science textbook illustrations combined with modern day events, which together create an oddly unsettling style. Again, to see more from him check out Fecal Face at http://www.fecalface.com/SF/index.php/features-mainmenu-102/3004-josh-keyes-interview

Erin M. Riley

This artist says that, "I weave tapestries of the pictures you would delete if you ever uploaded that drunk night of debauchery from your camera." I thought this was an interesting concept, thought I would share it with all of you. If you would like to see more, visit Fecal Face at

Jean-Pierre Roy


Just discovered this artist from Hi-Fructose magazine and pulled the picture up from google. Jen-Pierre Roy's main focus on his artwork represents the moment before a giant disaster. I love the way he captures those last few seconds of immense beauty before the destruction

Updated starfish


So...I made a few slight changes to my bobblehead starfish, I fixed any mistakes I made with the pen tool, i redesigned his right hand, and adjusted the saturation of the background color

Bobblehead starfish update!


So, I worked on my project for about 5 hours and got the final thing done. Unless there are any last minute changes I want to make to it, this will be my final project...enjoy.

Starfish Bobblehead!


First Adobe Illustrator project, my take on what a starfish bobblehead is supposed to look like...I might add a surfboard underneath him riding a tsunami, but I'll add that picture later

Speakers...


For my color theory class, I had to make a graphic illustration that uses colors at only at full saturation. I used the skills i learned from our class in photoshop to experiment with how the colors would look, and this is what I came up with..

Paulo Arraian


Cool new artist that I found from my regular art website, awesome graffiti on the walls, thought you would like to see it.

random photoshop experiment

Took some awesome photographs this weekend...decided that they were perfect for playing around with and practicing my skills in photoshop with. I used layer masks of the crab nebula and just made a selection of each person, and viola!

Little Doors

Apparently this guy has installed 20 little mysterious doors hidden in odd pockets of San Francisco. Thought that was a really interesting idea, and if I was walking by and saw this late at night it would definitely make me think. Found it from the amazing website Fecal Face.http://www.fecalface.com/SF/index.php/good-stuff/2878-little-doors-in-out-of-sf

updated photoshop song project!

My project is coming together even more! I added a bunch more "mountains" and edited the figures even further. Next I will extend out the smoke from the fire to swirl around and begin to engulf the foreground. I also have 1 more figure to add in that hopefully will tie the image together a bit more.
