No, actually, I'm not a stylophone expert at all, but I got one as an early Christmas gift, and I'd love to learn to play more than wonky B-sci fi movie crap on it. Although I do that pretty well.

I kind of left this website alone for a long time while digging down and working my butt off in classes. I finally pulled myself out of the funk I was in and I'm feeling pretty good about things.

I've uploaded a ton of stuff, especially in the Studio Photography gallery, and a couple things in the Artwork and Design galleries. Here's a small sampling for you:

Minimalistic package design, using Helvetica, for a mental stimulant I made up:

A pulp sci fi magazine cover:

A still-life in which I said goodbye to an old, dead iPod:

And a self-portrait, painted with light, quoting my Dune mantra:

I've been spending several nights in the computer lab lately, working on Illustration stuff, and I plan on doing it again tonight. And this weekend. There's still a lot more to do, but Finals week is next week, so we're at the tail end here, I'm approaching the light.

Once Christmas break kicks in, these are my plans:
-Change that freaking banner.
-Write and illustrate an 8 to 10 page comic, probably about Vincent Raremaster and his band Tetsuo Coil and/or the Metal Zombies of Mars.
-Study Spanish

I haven't really had time to watch or play or read anything, with the exception of Jonathan Hickman's comics, specifically the Nightly News. I got hooked with SHIELD, but he wrote AND illustrated the Nightly News, in a crazy way that's very very graphic design heavy, with unique page layouts, charts, graphs, and annotations. Every few pages, my mind is blown. He is one of my new favorite creators.

That's all for now, kids. Back into the mines I go.
