"IN THE BEGINING" is a section is of work that I did last year when I went back to school. "Bearing Much Fruit" made it to the 2006 Southwestern Illinois College/Schmidt Art Fair. I didn't win any cash prizes or anything like that but I was exited enough just to have a picture that was selected along with 186 others with artwork that would be hung on the wall for people to see. "LOGOS" Logos is something that I havn't really done much with as of yet. I kind of got the idea that went sort of like this... Grab business card, scan business card, redo the logo, and present the Idea. "PAINTINGS" I didn't start doing paintings untill it was close to the end of the 2006 spring semester. I just stayed up one night playing around on the computer and started playing around with this picture I had found which is the first one you will see in this section. The picture with the baby and the girl believe it or not was done using the program Microsoft Paint. After I got done, I just stared at it for about a half an hour drinking a glass of kool-aid like "I can't believe I did that". Though digital painting is something I love to do, sometimes its not easy. It has to be the right mood, the right time, right music, and the right picture from all different angles. I'm my own worst critic. "ALBUM COVERS" This is something I would really like to get more into. I did my first album cover for The Melissa Project entitled "Reinvention" which released for the public December 2006. She asked me for a Claude Monet idea. Im probably gonna get in trouble for saying this but at first I didn't even think I could pull it off but David slayed Goliath. Behold the result. "MYSPACE BACKGROUNDS" I got into doing myspace backgrounds when I sighned up for a myspace page myself and found a ton of websites where I was able get backgrounds. But after a week, I wanted my own background with my own picture and my own design. So when I got home, I took a few hours, played with some shapes, and came up with something that I really like. At the time I didn't have internet at the house. So, I spent a few hours at the school coming up with a simple code that would allow me to have the background that I wanted. I like to make people look good. So, I started to design pages for friends and other people. J-Traxx who is a producer for Lock em' Down Records just happend to be my first customer and things took off from there. "HEAD 2 HAND" In April 2006, I had some submissions for the Head 2 Hand school magazine from Southwestern Illinois College. I was working for the school at the time I got an email that was going around that submissions were being accepted. So like the art show, I said to myself "what have I got to lose?". Eager as I was, I had submitted 10 Pictures and two were taken. In August that same year the magazine was released.
