Create, practice, design

I've been trying out ideas and just practicing techniques and a whole mess of stuff in between. I hope to have some kind of portfolio for the future and wanted to work on some ideas and a style maybe. It's just always good for me to try new things and expand my skills. So these are just some things i've made in the process. (they're all made from scratch from drawings and using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.)

(potential "Hammock" album art)=very good, ambient music by the way

I really liked this one.

Always keep growing.
have a good day:)

Out in the Snow

I had some time today and felt like going exploring in the snowy woods and brought my camera. It was so nice to walk around in the snow and trees and follow trails around and see how much nature changes and still goes on even in frigid snow and cold. It really was so gorgeous out. Going out on an adventure brought me back to my childhood of just wandering through the woods with friends and just going wherever we wanted. I think we really missout when we can't find time to just wander in nature and take it in.

Godbless,

(Inspirations)

I've been expanding my art knowledge and creativity lately and have just felt so enlightened by tons of other artists works. I really want to try my hand at ink and watercolor illustrations but we'll see how it goes.

Godbless,

Little Love

ZOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Jess and Chrissy:)

This past weekend i took some dear friends up to Rochester with me to stay with my loveliest Jess Allyn:) (she's really just the best thing and i'm so happy to have her everyday)

Anywho, one thing we did was go to the zoo and since i love animals like crazy i had such a good time there:) haha. like really
I think the otter was one of my favorites just because they are so neat and have such personalities, not to mention how cute they are.
My little jess loves the phants haha, she was so excited.
I'm also a huge fan of tigers (like probably most people)but just because they are so strong and intense and really just beautiful animals.

haha, penguins, such silly little things.
These rhinos were so cool just cause i had never seen one before and their just so huge looking. sadly they just slept next to each other the whole time we were there.

I was so sad the polar bears were not outside till after we had to go:( never have seen one of them before, plus their habitat looked like so much fun to play in, for them or if we jumped the fence to go swimming haha.
OH, and here is a picture of me with my favorite thing in that zoo that day:)
Really though, just seeing these animals i can't help think of the creativity of our creator. He is the master designer and we are so privileged to have been made in his image to be able to create creatures and art on our own.i just love it

Relax and Enjoy

Just wanted to relax and take some photos outside and sit and watch the birds. My family and I have been putting seed out on a table out back and have attracted tons of birds and furry critters in the area. Always a enjoyable thing to watch. The animals in God's creation are mind blowing just in themselves and we are so much greater than that.
it's been a while but there you go, thanks:)

Friends and Family

This photo and post is for all the beautiful and uplifting people in my life. I have been so blessed to have great parents and an amazing girlfriend who i love so much. On top of just the best friends i could ever ask for. I really do take them for granted all the time, which is sad to say. We really can not go it alone in this world. Love all of you guys.

Colors of Fire

During the year my friend Cameron and I had some old broken microwaves on our floor that were just gonna get thrown out so we decided to burn them. The colors different kinds of metals turn fire is just a sight to behold. These are just some of these beautiful colors.

I've always just loved unique and vibrant colors in nature and other things, and the fact that fire can come in all the colors is very amazing to me.
Just a little post,

Artings

I've always loved to draw and make creatures and strange things, it helps me to just relax and create something. More recently I've been doodling a lot of animals for my girlfriends preschool class for coloring book pages:) (those will all go up for anyone's use at some point) BUT these are just some of my fun creations haha.I think one of the reasons i love to draw so much is cause its totally free reign to make anything you can imagine and the medium is easily changed and even just graphite has a wide range of tones and textures, and i feel the better skilled you become is like having more finely tuned tools to use. and on top of that combining mediums is always a cool aspect to think about.

Anywho, thats all for today.

Photo-chop-shop

I had some recent projects at the end of school in my Digital imaging class and thought i'd share some of my favorites.


This one was so much fun to do. I just think its awesome to make things out of the ordinary or fantastical that can also look real.
Have a good day, off to lunch.

It's so Dang hot outside

Well, this is my first blog post it looks like so its kinda a trial run BUT during the week it's been unpleasantly hot and humid out so a bunch of us thought it best to go to some sweet waterfalls and swimming places to go cool off and relax. The first place we went to was a place in upstate NY called Wiscoy Falls. There's a bunch of tiered falls and a huge dam up a bit on the river and this big hole you can jump off the rocks into.Our silly and dear friend Brian hanging off the edge of the dam.
And there's a few other friends of the reptile sort here but they are pretty scared of people so no worries.

The next day we took a caravan of people out to another spot called "Higgins Hole", (Brians car was on E the whole way there and back haha) it's really just a dreamlike place, almost like a spa or something but nice falls and swimming hole, smooth rocks and just places to sit above the falls. It's hard to fully understand it if you haven't been there.
Some friends of ours brought their pup Chewi to come and play for the afternoon. I really just enjoy and love all of these people. Always a good time with them.


Well time to get some sleep for once.
until next post of sorts, have a good evening
