Negative/Positive Space

These are two versions of negative and positive spacial relations done with India ink. These actually were very difficult because it was hard to distinguish between what was the different spaces, especially on objects that were round and did not have flat planes. I would be interested to try this style again but perhaps with a self portrait or of animate objects.

The Horseshoe

This was done during the summer of 2011. It was done with ink pen and was a textural drawing of my favorite lookout spot on the Horseshoe at USC.

Gesture Drawings

These are two gesture drawings that I did during my summer classes of 2011. The object was not to draw what we saw but to draw how the object moved in its still pose, to get just the "gesture" of both the gardenia flower and sunglasses. It was done with charcoal! :)

New Photoshop Class

This is from my newest class. Don't laugh...I know it's very simplistic but it's just the first one. I have never really used photoshop before and I realized that it is crazy difficult. These are my black and white shapes. Some are symbolic, while others are more obvious.

Homemade CD

Hello all! I am visiting a friend soon and we are exchanging cds. The inspiration for making the entire case from scratch came from my lack of case yet abundance of bristol board. I designed the album art all by hand, wrote all the names of the songs on the inside by hand, and created the cd sleeves too. You can see how I created enough space to allow myself to attach a sleeve. It took a lot of thinking but I finally got the design down pat. The full demesions are 5.5 inchx 5.75 inch (when closed) and colored with pen and prismacolor. It's entitled "The Album" to be boringly humorous.
