self portrait

This is a self portrait I did today... or more accurately, a reflection of where I currently am in my life. Thats a homage to my parents in the lower right hand corner. I love that photo.

Magazine spread

I did this magazine spread as a piece for my graphic design/photo class. We just had to do a 'mask' theme for a shoot then edit it, but after I saw the finished piece I got the image of it as a center spread in some magazine. Basically in my crazy world- this guy is a super villain, but always gets confused for a hero when shit starts going down and civilians ask for help... and he's sick of that. So this is like his tell-all-e-true story nonsense to set the record straight.

This just in...

I'm doing this project on mass media and how bogus most of it all is. I don't like tv at all, and especially dislike pop culture television. I've noticed people pride themselves on being pathetic, or that they are willing to let someone else decide the future of their own marital status. Life isn't a game show, you control the outcome. I'm making fun of the news here cause there's always some smug asshole telling you, "A million people died in a plane crash today... anyways, in other more important news, Lady Gaga and her latest single..." It's depressing that someone's entire life saga is built up to a three second tv plug. This is an image I made to put on a tv and pose in front of. I'm shooting this all on film for class, so those shots will come within the next two weeks. Also, I'm doing this because I thought it'd be fun to straight up just do some doppelganger pieces.

All older posters

These are all movie posters I've done the past four months, in chronological order of creation. The first Totally Deadly poster I did just as a joke really. I found "Steel Tongs", the movie poster credit font, on a website and I just wanted to see what my name looked like in a Hollywood type setting. After that I got more involved with manipulating images, and looking closer to detail. I love how these posters came out because I feel like life is movie sometimes, an epic series of events. But more so, this is just my basic sense of humor I wanted to share with you.

snow day

since I was trapped indoors by the shitty weather today, I decided to mess around with a photo I took of my friend Kat and her model a few weeks ago.

faux poster REEEEMIIIIXXXXX

My buddy and fellow artist, Morgan, gave me some new idea's to try out with the same poster and I wanted to share the end result.

faux movie poster

I like doing these because the poster leaves the imagination open to draw it's own conclusions to the movie that will never be made, and all you get is a title and a single image. I always wonder how some movie posters can be completely vague (i.e. The Tourist) where it leaves no actual desire to see the film- failing its only purpose. Well, if they can do it, I sure as hell can. Does anybody actually have this job where they just design movie posters all the time? Well, let them know I exist if you run into them.
