Why I love to teach... for notes like these!

Cranbrook Summer Studio 2009

I should be an art director...

For my 23rd birthday my boyfriend made me this cake. I told him I wanted everything that I loved that he happens to hate. I told him my ultimate dream would be a vampire wearing cowboy boots in the act of eating sushi. This was his interpretation, a vampire coming out of a cowboy boot surrounded by sushi. The sushi was the best part because you could just pop them in your mouth like the regular delicious stuff. And by the way this was Matt's first official cake as the self proclaimed "Cake King".

MADE IN

I have some ideas for such tags as these. Definitely a project in the works... I'm not used to showing step by step or progress of any kinda. Hopefully I can show more than the finished product with this project.

Illustration whore

I am a whore for my Illustrators.... I was invited to contribute to a weekly blog based around the tradition of creating illustrations of a chosen person every week for the Illustration hall at my alum C.C.S..... I enjoy their company and giant talents... they enjoy my hilarious and rapid interpretations. Here is my take on the given subject DANNY DEVITO... check out the blog to see real talent of my beloved Illustration family.

Infrared Babies... Circa 2004

Well I have been trying to somehow organize my work back in the day when prints were the only files to look through. These are from the year 2004 when I was taking a continuing education class through C.C.S. before I started my first semester there. This was also my first time using infrared film, does anyone even use it anymore? Well I had a blast with it and had my first work in a show from this roll, also my first publication in a book from this roll; one lucky roll. These are the unseen images from it and of a friend who has to be spoken about. Her name was Madison and she was (and I am sure still is) a compulsive liar. Her tales included all in one week being informed of throat cancer, signing a modeling contract for Apple Bottom Jeans and having the cancer "pulled" through her throat so that she wouldn't have an scars for her new modeling job. Yes at that point we knew the jig was up... but it did amaze me how she convinced herself of her own reality and although a liar.. usually a giving and fun person.

Hmmmm

My other blog

to be posted on at least once a day.

gabeamanda

My boyfriend has a very good friend Gabe and he has an Amanda. Always together they make gabeamanda. On this rare day I captured Amanda without Gabe, (even though he was only about 10 feet away) and I can't believe I captured it! Jokes jokes... Amanda is great, she brought out sparklers and we had some fun!
