Films

A few years back, Matthew Graves, a co-worker and friend, came up to me and asked if I wanted to be in a OMTV Short Halloween Special.  I excitedly said yes and worked with his wife, Melissa Graves, to create Tricks and Treats.  This is also the first short film I have been involved with.  I play a drugged up, escaped psycho.  Enjoy the horror!

During the a summer workshop, put together by Media and Documentary Projects, I was called in to come help.  I was lead to believe that I would be setting up lights or working a camera or maybe even running to grab something the others forgot.  When I arrived, Micah handed me a script and told me I was the star, I had an hour to get ready...  Here is the final outcome and it is actually pretty good.

My most recent work was another Halloween Special made by Matthew Graves.  So far, it is my favorite work and I have been getting nothing but positive feedback from it.  Footsteps.

The Cookie Sculpture

 The Cookie Sculpture, Made completely from cookies, 4/28/2010

This project took some hassles to overcome.  The first time I tried to make this, the cookies turned out hard and not very good looking.  Eventually, they broke apart.  I then changed a few things by switching to a thinner cooking sheet and a smaller, older oven.  The cookies turned out great and were easy to work with once they had cooled over night.  Cookie Sculpture made out of Cookies By Cookie!  GET IT?!

Resistance

 Resistance, Black and White parts are made from wood and painted with acrylic paint , Red and Blue are made from Hot Glue Sticks and are colored with ink, 3/30/2010

This piece was made to represent forces avoiding each other.  The Black and White pieces show the different values in each line while the Red and Blue one demonstrates my overall view of the piece.

 Hot Wheels cover #1 (11 in x 8.5 in), Illustrator, 4/8/2010

I am currently working on finishing up my Hot Wheels packaging project and figuring out which of the few I have I am going to use over all.  Right now, I'm leaning towards this one.  I will also be painting the car to match it's cover as well.  I am actually planning on dropping a lot in this picture and replacing it with other things but I'm not sure yet.  Feedback would be really nice.

Lost and Shadow clips

My upcoming movie, Lost and Shadow, is coming along well.  So far, I have part of the music down and some of the clips of the movie ready to be viewed.  More to come soon.

The Shoe Project: Shoe Reflecting Air, Shoe Spin, Flying Shoes, and Shoebrush

 Shoe Reflecting Air (8.5 in x 11 in), Illustrator, 3/9/2010

 Shoe Spin (11 in x 8.5 in), Illustrator, 3/9/2010

 Flying Shoes (11 in x 8.5 in), Illustrator, 3/9/2010

 Shoebrush (8.5 in x 11 in), Illustrator, 3/9/2010

Each part of my Shoe Project is a different style of how to handle the shoe and to make it look different while still using the same outline drawing in all four of them.  None of these projects were inspired by anything or anyone, more or less the Shoe Project was simply an experiment to see what different things I could create while keeping the same theme (shoe) and the same drawing.

There are about 12 different pieces in the Shoe Project but I decided to only post my 4 favorite instead of all 12.  Mostly because some of the others are similar to the ones posted.
