Surreal Landscape, Digital Painting
Surreal Landscape, Digital Painting | Fall 2009 Class: Adv. Imaging Professor: Doug Clark Software: Photoshop This digital painting was made for part of my final project Disconnected From Reality. The idea was to place photographic cutouts into illustrated environments to portray a sense of isolation and disassociation.
Beyond the Sea
Beyond the Sea was inspired by a song titled The Iron Sea by Keane. I wanted the words to have a handwritten look so I wrote it out and scanned it into the computer. I duplicated and layered the text onto a photograph I took of the ocean in St. Augustine, Florida, and set the blending mode to screen so my original black text would appear white.
Scanner Art
One of the projects in my Digital Imaging class introduced us to using scanners as a means of creating art, aka scanography and scanner photography. The extremely shallow depth of field and flat plane create a really interesting look. These three images didn't make the cut for my portfolio but I thought they were fun. Check out Scanography for more scanner art samples. Snake with Flowers, 2009 The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, 2009 Falling Baby, 2009

High School Dragon Mascot
I love dragons, and mascots are fun, but this was a tough project. My drawing skills are more than a bit rusty and drawing a dragon was a bit more difficult than I expected, but this turned out okay.
