2008-11-24T01:41:00.006-05:00

An update on Ferdinand still no color and but I want to finish the drawings before I start that which is a project within itself overall this is an incredible experience learning what comic artists go through penciling, inking, and layout

Restaurant Logo

2008-11-19T13:08:00.004-05:00

With the logo not looking to have anything to do with a restaurant i changed the name and to LONO a mythological hawaiian god that deals with agriculture and food which seems fitting and with the help of the islands you get the idea that it has something to do with hawaii

idea for a logo for a new york upscale restaurant where rich people who travel a lot to the west coast can enjoy the cuisine on the east coast

Yet Another Update: Skateboard 2008

2008-05-13T12:31:00.002-05:00

Heres what I have so far

Update: Skateboard 2008

2008-05-12T15:42:00.003-05:00

Suggestions from Howards GD 2 class
-Move black stuff out of the guys mouth
- initial reason for the stuff coming out of the mouth was the idea of visible noise (reason behind all the splatter) and trying to connect it without be too obvious but if it hinders the aesthetic quality of the piece then so be it i'll move it.

- Cityscape needed to be bolder.
Wasn't sure about this with the piece being busy enough or so I thought. After adding the grey washed look I believe it was a good move and helps push the piece further

Future thoughts - Darker grey cityscape to push depth back even further and give the piece a foreground, middle ground and background.

P.s. thanks for the feedback its quite possibly the most important thing to create a great piece of work

-Added chapter like pages
-Changed the quotes so they're not as dominant
-Laid out some of the concentrations differently in alphabetical order

Wrinkle

2008-04-28T23:28:00.003-05:00

Wrinkles are a sign of experiences taken through life that show on you, much like a scar. Wrinkles show a life you've lived that you can't get rid of theres no hiding it. Through my experiences I feel these are the wrinkles being shown at times from things I know and am just now finding out.

Piece speaks for itself.

Art & Design

2008-04-22T17:26:00.004-05:00

With Millersville's lack of an Art Department brochure my class has been asked to design a one for it with the possibility of it getting published. Here's what I have came up with so far, going for a modern new age look.

Final: Drawing Fire

2008-03-28T20:52:00.004-05:00

Here is my final Drawing Fire publication really enjoy it but some technical difficulties appear to happen when converting an indesign CS3 document to a CS2 but this is the CS3 version. I would like to have kept the counter change title as seen previously but for the professor I changed it.

Update: Drawing Fire

2008-03-24T11:50:00.003-05:00

After an inprogress critique things that needed to be adjusted:
-counter change text
-black background
-not enough comic books
-awkward 2nd page quote
-can only have 2 spreads

what was actually done so far
-used a dark blue background and red and white text, give it an american flag feel without punching you in the face with it
-haven't scanned all the comic books but just before posting i got about 10 more
-quote was corrected by placing it within the column of text on the 2nd page
-I have a possible alternative to the 2nd spread, instead of horizontal i have a vertical picture
-in order to get the article of text within 2 spreads I decreased font size as well as tightened up the leading I have yet to print to determine its functionality but this is what I have accomplished so far

Drawing Fire Publication

2008-03-20T21:05:00.003-05:00

Here is an inprogress of my publication from Print Magaine on comic books. My goal is to redesign it with my own touch as well as the publication of CYMK magazine. The article is about how comic book artists are beginning to take their own approach to what is happening in Iraq and recreate it with futuristic feel. For example they take an event that happened in Iraq and then create the same even in a futuristic New York City environment. They also poke fun at the government and how they act upon what is going on.

2008-02-12T23:45:00.003-05:00

Here are two spreads I started to design for an 8 page brochure lots of work still has to be done but I figured I'd share what I'm working on. Cover is weak but as far as the inside of the brochure the plan is to have the pictures carry the design and use simplified text to give the brochure a contemporary/elegant feel to it. Design is due in a couple of weeks so I'll update when I can.

Iconic Headphones

2008-02-07T13:42:00.000-05:00

Here is a preview of the latest. Basically pictures of people around MU campus with the iconic ipod headphones. I'm going for an edgy, punk, new age look which is the reason behind the high contrast and unnatural color. This isn't the end product but I figured I'd show what I'm working on. End piece will contain 20 images at least.

When it Rains it Pours

2008-01-23T12:51:00.000-05:00

Here is a piece about the times when everything seems to be going wrong. I feel that this piece represents someones worst day, week or year. The problems not only multiply but also become bigger and more enveloping while you feel smaller and trapped without an escape. This is the turning point where we either give up and let everything overwhelm and take over or we figure out a solution that could have been there all along.

Ice Lock Final

2007-10-03T06:51:00.000-05:00

Here is my Ice Lock Final, took the big picture and broke it up into a 3 piece set meant to be viewed from the ground. This picture shows the plexi glass and it all cut up to look like someone ice skated over it. Only thing I wish was that I could have found clear male and female machine screws.

Here are all three

Here is a close up of the Top left square

I'll add close ups of the other 2 later

Ice Lock

2007-09-19T19:55:00.001-05:00

Tried to get it to look like we're frozen in ice and then someone skated over it, its the first draft

F/S Right Feed

2007-08-25T23:19:00.001-05:00

Previous owner painted end of bolt and the body it looks like, worked excellent when I used it

2007-08-24T21:57:00.000-05:00

Heres the two long boards I made one for my girlfriend and one for me, the bad apple

Turning my right feed into a Vert feed

2007-08-21T17:26:00.000-05:00

Ok this project was the biggest I could possibly take on with a paintball gun. Basically rebuilding a 2002 WGP Autococker. Now I had a 2000 WGP autococker to work with incase something went wrong.

Here are all the parts to the project. Took the old gun all apart and just laid everything out.

Heres the right feed

Heres the Vert feed

Heres the two front blocks

Old block

New Block

Kapp low pressure regulator (LPR) which when taken apart was tough with the loctite instead of using that stuff I used yellow gas teflon tape to reinstall

3 way in the new block. This was exceptionally challenging because the last person used red loctite on the threads. In order to get that off I used nail polish remover multiple times to soften it up and then got it out with tweesers.

Front block pneumatics. Put the yellow teflon tape onto the LPR and screwed it in and then screwed in the ram and connected the hoses.

Here the front block and pneumatics are screwed onto the Vert feed body

I then ran into the problem of air blowing out of where the barrel would be. I guess I had a crappy valve that came along with the Vert Feed body, shocktech rat valve which from what I heard is an excellent valve but it just seemed to leak for me and I couldn't get it to work so I replaced it with the stock valve from my right feed. Then I talked to the guy I received it everything from and suggest I change springs but instead I just cock the marker before I air it up and everything works great with the new valve.

Once I did this I kept getting a leaking noise from the 3 way so I moved the 3 way, far back but still when I aired things up it wouldn't recock so then I accidently turned the LPR and it suddenly started to recock. I continued to turn it and bam it recocked and fired. So I took it out to my back yard and started to fire and no balls were coming out. The bolt was too far forward so I had to take the cocking rod and move it back farther. Once I did this took it back outside and balls just fell out of the barrel, velocity was too low turned it up and started ripping shots.

Heres the black plague

Complete Setup

Loader - Rikochet AK LED 12bps

Your Paradise

2007-06-04T17:09:00.000-05:00

My paradise is just relaxing and hanging out with my lovely lady. I drew this when she was working on school stuff from a picture taken of me giving her a piggy back ride. I drew it out real sketchy and then added in some brush marker to see what would happen, never really messed around with marker before so I figured I'd try it. After that I messed around in photshop and illustrator putting in a paradise background and a poem I wrote in the middle ground.

Cars

2007-05-29T21:00:00.000-05:00

Heres a picture of a sweet old herse my coach and I saw on our way back from a hockey tournament in Boston. Then theres a picture i was drawing of it when i was bored one afternoon.

All i did to get the burn effect was just turn up the levels all the way and it got a burned edge look I kind of like it planning on following up on this one.

Follow up:

Used a black and grey brush marker, i dunno if it looks better or not but hopefully following it up with some color in photoshop maybe.

This one is a too busy on the right so I'll most likely take the right text out

Here would be a second page to take away the the confusion from the first one

2007-03-29T16:21:00.000-05:00

Heres my poster design for Why Not Associates?. Project was to design a poster after the Why Not Associates? style. Started off rocky but my good ol Highschool Graphic Design Teacher helped me out. Whole poster came together when i tilted the picture in the background, plus I had a happy little mistake by wearing a yellow shirt when I took the picture. Basically how I got the yellow in the water, no photoshop there people.

Grow Music

2007-03-29T16:10:00.000-05:00

This was my answer to creating a seed packet design. Project was pretty vauge just create a packet for seeds and it could be as wild or lame as you wanted. First I started out with a simple elegant design but I scrapped it for this. Idea is that you plant the seed and when it grows rock music plays out of the rose.

Heres the complete set. Not too sure how I feel about the middle blue one but a deadline is a deadline.

It's a New Day and a New Game

Been a Year

2007-03-25T00:11:00.000-05:00

Well its been almost a year and of course with college I've been busy but with my day off I drew some Captain America pieces for a tribute and because I was bored. Here they are

First one here is from the new Civil War comics where Captain America meets his ultimate demise. Though the comic never actually shows him dead but only on a hospital bed apparently since the news has covered the issue he's dead. Anyway its off of the cover where Iron Man and Captain America two superhumans who are on opposing sides of the Civil War meet in an old private avengers meeting place and take part in hand to hand combat. Pretty thrilling scene but Cap ultimately comes on top, which is expected since it's been said noone can beat him in hand to hand.

The second one here is from Cap's debut in 1941 where he famously punched Hitler right in the face. My drawing is really poor but it shows the old cap with his first mask which really was a helment. Little history behind it is that it almost came off and almost revealed his secret identity so Captain America changed it so the mask was connected to the rest of his costume. He also has the old triangle shape sheild which was later changed into the circle one because the comic was under a lawsuit about the sheilf resembling the other super hero who used a shield knows The Sheild, how original.

Anyway this is my recognition towards a comic book legend that was created during the harsh times of World War II. It's a shame he had to pass during another struggle over in Iraq.
