The Prized Horse

This is definitely my favorite (and last) painting from Digital Life this term.

Beksinski Digital Master Copy

A digital master copy of a painting by one of my favorite surrealist painters, Zdzislaw Beksinski. To all who are unfamiliar with his work, he has some really neat stuff that you should definitely check out.

Creative Perspective

I had a lot of fun working with SketchUp this term and I ended up painting some quick black and white compositions for the class. 

Also, here are a few additional pages from my final book-

Honeycomb

I finally had a chance to get some better photos of my Design 2 final from 2nd term. The project was to create a 3D abstraction from nature and I based my design on a honeycomb. The materials I used were plywood, acrylic, and MDF. After many hours of laser cutting, bevel cutting, and gluing, I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
