Almost Alive

My original intention was to eventually create a video to go along with this, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. There is a poem I also developed to go along with it, which is as follows: ——————————— For this series I created bulletin artwork, postcards, invite cards, banners, and graphic slides, all of [...]

Toward the Beautiful

I wrote a guest article for CreationSwap entitled Toward the Beautiful on the metaphysical underpinnings of beauty and how that relates to the role of an artist in the work of creating art. Check it out here.

Raindeer

Anyway, I found this sweet image of a reindeer and immediately went into play-on words mode. Cheesy? Yes. Ridiculous? Yes. Did she like it? Yes. Enjoy. Click on the image to make it a bit bigger, if you dare.

A Breath of the Might of God

Every once in awhile you read something that really sticks with you, and even as the days and years move on in their inexorable course you find your mind’s thoughts always gravitating back for some intangible reason. Wisdom 7:24-26 is one of those instances that has struck such a chord that I find myself always [...]

Design: Color Me

I have made seven so far- some are more straightforward than others, some have a reference to a product, and some are aimed more at geeks. Let me know if you can determine the references, or at least why the color might express itself in that way in the comments. And if you have any [...]

But I think ‘connection card’ more adequately describes their intent. Plus it gives me a dramatic two word statement to make into a sentence fragment, the addition of a period giving the sense [...]

Design: rezlife 2011-2012 booklet

Generally we do a 8.5×14 folded flyer, but every year more and more content has had need to be included. The flyer originally consisted of some pictures of the meeting space, (the Student Center) a few quotes from [...]

Design: Lemons

As promised, I finished up a new art piece earlier today. I am taking part in a collaborative group effort to create posters based on quotes, and so I decided to take the famous quote/cliche “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” and put my own spin on it. Unfortunately, a polar bear had to [...]

Design: MAC Track Book

This is the cover and chapter divider page(s) I created for the forthcoming MAC Track training book. Each of the different chapters utilizes a different color to distinguish them from each other. The picture I used was kind of random, and is actually of a park bench, but for some reason the composition and contrast [...]
