Birth Youth Wrath Death

Above is an animation I did for my Digital Photography course. I will be presenting this to the class on Tuesday. For more details, check out the video’s page.

First Drawings

Letters and Books 1-10

These are the first 10 pieces for my Life Drawing class. For now this is the subject matter I will focus on: letters and books. They are each 9”x12”, and varying in graphite and ink.

The overall consensus during my critique was that I need to continue emphasizing a background, devote more time to each piece, work on creating a better tonal range for each drawing, and continue in the direction of actual words instead of just random letters.

It’s a rusty beginning, but I look forward to improving throughout the semester. Thoughts?

It’s a Challenge

Design Snobbery Moment

I realize that the Photoshop Disasters site already does a good job of pointing out terribly obvious design errors in our world, but I wanted to help the cause by displaying the banner I saw at the top of a certain social networking site.

Is everyone having trouble with the letter N these days?

Off To Lake Placid

I’m heading up to Lake Placid in about an hour with a bunch of my blogging buddies. Last time I went we had a good time and I wasn’t eaten by a giant creature. I hope to have the same success this time around. Have a great weekend, everyone.

Spring Arrives

Well I’ve been quiet for a while. But plenty has happened.

  • I won a tie design competition and I will be flying out to Tallahassee this week to see it worn by a few hundred people at a conference. I’m pretty excited about that.

  • I’m the owner of a brand new Wii. My brother and I split the cost of the machine and the new Smash Brothers Brawl. Playing online against Cory has been a blast.

  • Celebrations. I’ve been out and about with some of my classmates celebrating birthdays at bowling alleys, bars, and a few clubs. Now I know why I’m broke.

  • I designed my graduation show website. Go on over to mu-dai.com for details on the event. You’re all invited to come mix and mingle with food, drink, and art.

  • I hung out with Nat for an evening while she was in town last week. It’s always a fun time when we get together.

  • I’d say about 4 more friends of mine are getting married. This leaves me with about 2.6 friends left to hang out with.

  • I’m starting to listen to opera. So far I’ve acquired a Pavarotti 2-disc set and I’m enjoying it.

  • I’m going to submit to another few design competitions.

I can’t seem to remember anything else at the moment.

I’m really enjoying the quiet evenings I have to myself. For the past week or so I’ve been getting home, eating dinner, and shortly after taking a nap. Usually I’ll wake up an hour later and let the grogginess wear off with a good magazine and a fresh cup of coffee. Once I’m fully awake it’s time for music and artwork.

I’m doing some hand-lettering for a package design project I’m working on. The above image is a glimpse of a few letters and numbers I did with a sharpie. I’ll be combining these with some typed out letters as well.

Alrighty, well I’m going to get back to my project. Cheers.
