Monday morning I woke up at 4am to fly to Chicago, and 11 hours after my arrival, to fly on to Brussels. Waking up was a lot easier than I expected – I guess I was ready to get on the road! The day pass for the Admiral’s Club at O’Hare was definitely worth it. [...]

Junior’s Burgers & Custard commissioned another couple of items from me. First, a modified version of the menus I made previously, this time to fit in the backlit display at their Champaign location. I went with a blue background to make the letters stand out better when lit from behind. Second was the assignment to [...]

My OWL class asked us to bring in a poem or quote tonight. I wouldn’t normally post this kind of thing, but I liked a couple of the choices I found, and I think it does one good to periodically acknowledge and embrace the intimate aspects of life. “Body, Remember” by Constantine Cavafy, translated from [...]
Wow, this project is finally wrapped up! I feel lucky to have worked with such talented artists. So back in September, I started a project for a guy in Rochester, where two of my Illustration friends would produce high-fantasy art for Warhammer reference cards, and I would do the card design. We were completely incapable [...]
So I’m back in the Midwest, doing freelance work full time from home. It’s an adventure that I’m not sure I’d recommend, but I’m getting used to it. Hopefully in a week or two I will have gotten used to tuning out distractions around the house. Sometimes it’s the internet that distracts me, but then it [...]
Now that ImagineRIT is over, I have time again to update my blog about these sorts of things. I spent most of Friday rendering nice designs for the kiosk (we had to cut down the graphics for the live version, and the projectors mutilated the video quality) and working on info posters for the room.

My two two-quarter-long projects are progressing slower than I’d like, but I think the quality isn’t bad. First up, the senior project comp is slowly narrowing in on something like the quality we’re supposed to have: Second, my Experimental project now has a set of posters to accompany the as-yet-nonexistent animations. The five posters show [...]

Here are style frames for my ENM project. The idea behind this project is to produce a visual/motion presentation of the following poems – a looping typographic and abstract animation where each poem will be presented slightly differently. This is a purely art piece I’ve been wanting to do for several years now, so I’m [...]
Welcome to Twenty-Ten! I have big hopes for the decade. :) Before I went on Thanksgiving break, I went out and finally got a scrapbook so I could start putting together my physical photos from the trip to Germany. My cousin Kara got me into it with our Buffy watching and scrapbooking fest last year, [...]

Some beautiful inspirational pieces across media forms, which I’ve spotted on various sites recently. let yourself feel. from Esteban Diácono on Vimeo. The Girl Effect: again, simple, but full of impact. In fact, more powerful because of its simplicity. The music adds to the power, but the little details in the movements of the text [...]
