Thermos
Drawing 2005
Once perspective was applied, then we went into setting colors, before adding the shadows. Some things are brighter in color but have more shadow because of their position to the light. It was hard to show that in black and white lol.
Stuff on table
Sketch 2005
Some Books with a Vase. We were working on perspective with out using rulers (free hand).
Cups and stuff
Sketch 2005
Here I had to mark off where the shadows would be. The curve in the table is a little off.

Bird Flu
Digital Sketch 2005
This was another study on shapes. I got a photograph of people dressed in bio-hazard suits and rubber gloves, spraying lime over the dead birds (although you can't see the birds in pic). The photo is creepy and so is the sketch. It reminds me of like Resident Evil or something lol.
Action
Digital Drawing 2005
I wasn't going to put this up because it is a copy of a another artist's work. I took the cover of a comic book about angels, turned the main charater to me. It's still pretty cool and not a direct copy. I liked it so I made my own.
Cans in a box
Still Life sketch 2002
This was one of my first assignments at VCU. They wanted to see how good we were at drawing. It's not bad lol.
Fabrics
Still life 2005
Here we had to draw two different fabrics, showing their difference in color by overall tone. Then we had to add light and darks. It came out ok I think!
Dorm Stairs
Stairs sketch 2005
Working on perspective again. It's kinda hard to see though. Again no rulers.

War/Environment
Digital work 2008
I had to do the cover pages for two chapters of a book my ethics class was making. I got War, and...well the environment. I used a bunch of shapes, close up...so when you pull away, they make the image. If you blow up the images, they won't look as good as you will see the shapes lol.
Pillows, Teddys, Monkeys..Oh My!
Oil Painting 2004
This oil painting was an abstraction of the stuffed animals on my wife's old bed at VCU. Even though the thumbnail is small the painting is about 3ft x 3ft.
Bike
Charcoal 2005
This image was created by filling the page with charcoal and then erasing it away. I erased where the light would hit the bike.
VCU Fantasy
Digital Work 2007
This was for a Litho Print I was going to do...well, I did the print but someone destroyed it before I could even get a grade. The concept is about mashing VCU with Final Fantasy. Again, you might not catch everything if you weren't going there (for instance, there is a ram (our mascot), plaza was an art store, and the wizard has an exacto knife). Of course, I don't work with nintendo...well I review their games but that's another site altogether lol.
Black and Color
Digital sketches 2005
These were more of the movie stills, done using just shapes. He is sup to be in the snow...you had to be there.
Peace (from far)
Oil Painting 2007
This was my best painting...period. Sorry to say that this was the only picture I have, as I donated it to my church. It has to do with Peace while in the midst of a storm. In the lower left there is a guy fishing ontop of a building. Water is everywhere and fire is burning in the background. It's pretty big, 3 ft by 6 ft. I will get a better picture soon I promise!
Bear in Box
Oil Painting 2004 er...05?
This painting was morphed from other paintings. What we did each day was paint something, wipe the canvas and start something new the next day. Even though we started over, you could still see some of the paint from the last image. I guess this was to condition us not to be too attached to our work to early. The final painting on this canvas is very different, I will add that one when I can.
Well I Never!
Digital Sketch 2005
These are two characters from a comic I am working on. Of course, they look a lot better as my skill has grown since then. If you got an invite to my wedding, they may look familiar : )
Enter
Digital Sketch 2005
This was when I started to use photoshop in a way that spoke to me....that was really complicated. This was when I got comfirtable with photoshop....thats better. This was to be the entrance to a website I was working on in my Flash class. The website was a bust but I got some cool images anyways.
Pratt's Example
Digital Sketches 2005
This was an example of forming an image with only shapes. George Pratt's is the one thats upside down. He wanted to show me how you don't need to worry about fine details till later, which is why it is upside down. Feel free to compare.
Digital sketches
Digital/ Photoshop 2005
These were studies in working with nothing but shapes. George Pratt, my prof. at the time, took movie stills and had us sketch them as shapes. Once you got better with the shapes, you would add more and more layers to create awesome works. (kinda like painting). check out his website and Goodbrush.com for examples.
ill Man Sketches
Digtial Sketches/ Photoshop 2005
These were are all skecthes I was working on to use in a final drawing. It was to be a cover to the Illustrated Man book. I wanted to go with the tats feel as if they were a part of the real world. The final project was erased from my scan disk, along with other works...sigh...
