I’ve been finding more and more designers that don’t know about this great site. They have tutorials (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), daily design inspiration (that ranges from GD, to fine art, to video), and tons of great resources (psd files, fresh free fonts). To top that all off, the site is beautiful and I have yet to find any of their articles to be anything but enlightening. Check it out!

A super close up shot of some lichen. I noticed it from the park bench I was sitting on. It was a beautiful green, so I decided to get a shot of it.

This was a test for some light trail photos. That’s my good friend Christian. We set the shutter speed super high and mounted the cam, while I used a small flashlight and outlined Christian.

I have a shit ton of work, so I apologize for the lack of art updates of late. I should have a bunch of new pieces from last semester to put up soon. I also recently subscribed to AIGA and will have a bunch of news and artists for everyone to check out. DOOOOOOOOO

I found these today and was quite impressed. It’s incredible how easily you can educate and inspire people while incorporating aesthetically pleasing graphics.

Title: Das Leben nach der Sonnenallee, Familie Chaotic

Materials: Adobe Photoshop CS5, Stock Photos

I made this book cover last night for a story I wrote. The story was my personal continuation of the popular German novel, Am

kürzeren Ende der Sonnenallee (On the Short End of Sonnenallee). My story, Das Leben nach der Sonnenallee Familie Chaotic

(Life After Sonnenallee: Family Chaotic), starts right after the end of the original story.

Ran across some CRAZY prints
