Salvador Dali Portrait Done In Adobe Illustrator

For this portrait I used Adobe Illustrator. I combined clipping masks, blends, and gradient meshes to create this image.

Breast Cancer Awareness Poster and CD Cover

 
For this project I had to create a poster, CD, and a Cd case for Breast Cancer awareness. I decided to do a "fight for survival theme" with mainly a Rock play list that would motivate patients to fight for their lives. The design of the poster was inspired by old country music Hatch Posters.

Old Spice Razor Campaign

In this Ad campaign the goal was to take a exisiting company and create a new product. I chose Old Spice and named the product Razr. It was a group project so I can't take credit on the company and product name but these are my designs.


Some Concept Art


These are some creature designs and concept drawings I did for fun. I tend to do more creatures than characters, it allows you to break the rules of proportion and just have fun.
 
 
 





2010 Hasboro Toy Design Finalist



I participated in Hasboro's annual toy design competition last May and made it to the top five finalists. I didn't win, my sculpt wasn't as smooth as I would have liked. It was my first time working with a special wax that toy companies use and I didn't know all the tricks to smoothing it out. These are a few concepts I had done for the project.





H.R Giger Inspired Poster



This is a poster i did that has a Giger quality to it. I really love his work and plan on doing more stuff that is inspired by Giger. 

















The Pirate Bear Project


This was part of a 3D project which was based on Pirate Bears, I was responsible for the doctor bear. At first I was going to do a British doctor, but then I thought a Witch Doctor from Africa would be more fun, and it was. Below is are all the bears done by various students. A picture of this exhibit was published in The Columbus Dispatch back in May.

Alice and Wonderland Tarot Cards

In Alice and Wonderland there are so many characters that are symbolic of something and I thought they would be perfect for tarot cards because of their symbolism. There are 22 cards in a deck and these are the ones I've gotten done so far. I might make a whole deck, there is enough characters.

MY FIRST POST


I am an artist who lives in the Columbus, Oh area who is a senior at Columbus College of Art and Design.  My major is in Illustration but I do a lot of graphic design and advertising. Most of my work is digital but I am not limited to the computer, I do a lot of sculpting and painting as well. Lately I have become very interested in typography and advertising and with my illustration background I plan to do some pieces in the future that are more than just photographic cut and paste ads. Some of my influences include: Giger, Dali, and Frazetta.
