Monkeys are in Bloom

Tonight I couldn't sleep, so instead I painted this in Photoshop.

He is based on a doodle I did in class earlier in the week. I am trying to get better at painting from scratch in Pshop, so this was a basic study in doing just that. Now I'm going to take another stab at the sleeping thing.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Especially to my wife, Meghan (sorry ladies). I made the below image for her as a sort of Valentines card. I even printed it on extra nice photo paper, so it's legit. For those of you who dont know us both, Meg's head is composited onto the pin up girl and my head is composited onto cupid. We are not a Barbie-doll and naked winged dwarf couple (not that there would be anything wrong with that, we just arent). I digress:

Plain is the new Fancy...

Enjoy the new look of Ctrl+Shift+Z. I can really only take credit for the header, which I made in Pshop tonight. Getting better all the time, cant get much worse!

For the kids...

Over the Christmas break I had the chance to go and visit my family in Atlanta, Georgia. This usually happens about once a year (if im lucky). Before I went I took photographs of my nieces and nephew in their Halloween costumes and composited them into the settings of their respective characters. See Below:

Mudbox Speed Model

This is what can be considered my first work in 3D. It was done during a SIGGRAPH Student Chapter speed-modeling competition. We were taught how to use Mudbox in 15 minutes and were given an hour to model a basic head shape into something halfway respectable. I think my chimpanzee face turned out halfway respectable, considering I had zero experience with the tools.

Movie Poster Project

The images below are a part of an assignment I completed for my Design for Media I class, where we were to recreate movie posters using only square shapes. All projects in the class are done in grayscale, so pardon the lack of color (Color theory is Design for Media II). Click image title for link to comparison.

2010 DIGM Annual Review Submissions.

Each year students in the DIGM (Digital Media) program at Drexel University have the chance to have their finest work from production classes shown at the end of year Annual Review. Because there are alot of students taking alot of production classes in the program, only the best work is chosen for the show.

This year I was lucky enough to be one of the handful of students from my Digital Design Tools class who was asked to submit work for consideration in the show. As of yet I do not know whether any of the following pieces will be chosen, but my fingers are crossed. Take a look below at the works I have submitted.
