My Portfolio: Various Postings

Here is a book cover I designed and illustrated in May 2008, the book is a collection of tales inspired by Russian folk stories. I hope to have the actual book finished and published by late 2010.

A Graphic Novel: Honore de Balzac's The Purse

Here is a graphic novel I have been working on from the french writer Honoré de Balzac. When I was four, I recall opening up Balzac's The Atheists' Mass and wanting to know where the pictures were. So 2008 was the year I put images to the words.

Here are some bits and pieces of the novel.

Painting.......many more on the way!

I have really delved into painting this year, the best part is customising my own canvasses to the size I want; but aside that, you can make images with them! Here is a self portrait completed in May 2008. I have a series of these portraits in the works this summer. See you in the gallery! 

Self-portrait in detail.

VCU Communication Arts Student Show

NOSFERATA

My initial thought of the subject matter during and after production was that this woman is going to be the most peculiar subjects of my photography collection, but one has to have a broad portfolio to show ones capabilities! In our current age, major and the like, it is our calling to make interesting and powerful images. In this case, my most peculiar photo shoot was my most successful.

This image was included in both the Communication Arts Student Show in March 2008 and the VCU Student Art Exhibit April 2008.

It is on permanent display in the Communication Arts Department Office, VCU Campus on West Franklin Street.
