statue interpretation

A while ago I recruited my friend Melissa to give me art assignments on a weekly basis, mostly to stimulate my creative habits and get me back to doing something productive. Most of the assignments were with photography, but for this assignment she asked me to create a drawing based on one of the photographs I had taken.

Here is the photo and the drawing of a statue in University Park downtown.

business card fun

Today at work Shane from IT asked me to design a business card for an event they are having. I pretty much just based it off of a web site they already had, but it was still a fun activity for the day.

Wedding Fever

So I am getting married in June and I decided to design the invitations myself. I also designed the save the dates, menus, and programs. It was a lot of fun, I saved some big bucks, and it was a great way to flex my invitation and stationary design skills.

I used these web sites for inspiration. Excellent choices for more modern and simple designs.

College Photography

Some of my favorite photos I took for my college photography class. A series of photos featuring mannequins and my good friend Kelley.
Creepy? Perhaps. But I love them <3

I'm new at this....

So I just created this blog and I am hoping in time that it will showcase artwork that I am currently working on.
I am sure it will also showcase the random thoughts that are rolling around in my head, so beware! But also, enjoy :)
