This is my contribution to an exquisite corpse exercise in my animation class. I had to draw the frames to get from my classmate's tiger to my zebra rug.
Memory Lane
I was looking for an old photo to try out a new photoshop technique, and I stumbled across these pics from one of the first projects I worked on in Oregon way back in 2000. Car Trouble 2: Them's the Brakes was about karmic comeupance. (Can you even follow this epic saga without seeing Car Trouble 1?) I don't recall what my official job was, but I was the unofficial set photographer for the shoot in Christmas Valley. It was hot as blazes in the day, it was sleep-in-the-car cold at night, and it was really fun.
Gallivant
Such a great word that no one seems to use anymore.
I recently finished up a long job with a pretty grueling schedule, so I've got vacation on my mind. I love vintage travel posters, and while I'm not fit to hold the pencil of my favorite, David Klein, I made a few of my own for some of my favorite spots in Oregon.
Comin' at ya!
So I tried my first 3d project. It's a reimagining of the Oregon Film office logo
for a film noir project that I've been working on with my partner.
For a first try, teach-myself project, I'm very happy with the results. Besides, if I spend one more second on it, I will be bald.
Strike
I'm fairly skilled in Photoshop, so that was my tool of choice when I made this short animation for a class last fall. Since that time, I've taught myself a thing or two in Illustrator, so I went back and redid each frame. It was totally worth it. This was another really fun project, and since I'm also striving to become a more patient human being, I think I'll try my hand at another animated short.
Jackass
Recently, I had an assignment to create a cd package for a song of my choosing. We had to do an inner and outer cover, and show the lyrics. I chose Beck's Jackass, from one of my all-time favorite albums, Odelay. Because Beck is... well... Beck, I really treated it more as an art project than a design project. For the inside image, I worked with paper cut outs for the first time and had a blast.
Saul Bass
For my design history final assignment, we were asked to create an original piece of work inspired by one of our favorite 20th century artists. I'm a huge fan of Saul Bass, and in particular, his work on movie posters and film credit sequences.
I took a tumble last year, and long story short, now find myself in braces despite successfully avoiding them as a teen. This inspired my homage to the brilliant poster for the Hitchcock film Vertigo.
