In the style of...

I had a photo assignment to take a pictures in the style of another photographer. I was given Irving Penn, known mostly for his studio portraits. Many thanks and doggie treats go out to Mr. Willie Nelson for all of his cooperation.

Past, Present, and Futura

Came across this little gem from first quarter today. The assignment was to make a poster displaying the history, weights, price, etc. of an assigned typeface.

Printed

The other day, Gloria brought home this sweet t-shirt I designed for her school. Actually, I shouldn't say I designed it. More like assembled some other people's graphic elements in the style of some other people's design. Either way, the school sold over $1000 more worth of these than they did for last year's "I [heart] DE" shirt.

Shooters.

Finally took some pics of some finished work. Here's my Shooters packaging from a couple qtrs. ago.

I'm taking a photo class at the Circus...figured I could really use the practice. We're going to have an ongoing self-portrait assignment. Two per week. One literally showing ourself, one as a representational. I don't know if I'll be putting up all of em, but here's the first.

Stuff white people like

My wife just told me about a website she heard about on the radio this morning. I'm almost embarassed at how many of these I can identify with, minus things like standing still at concerts and veganism. >>Stuff White People Like<<

and he's totally into graffiti. such a major graffiti artist. he'll tag like anything. you should totally ask him to do some graffiti for you cause i bet he would do it in a heartbeat probably for free.

widgets are stupid.
