My Heart Is Home
The first assignment I make my students create for my classes is a caricature of themselves. These are intended to represent who you are and the way in which you live your life. For the most part we learn some interesting things about each other. This was mine to demonstrate to the class. Do I […]
I Believe All Unconscious Art Can Be Consciously Interpreted
Any idea what this one represents? I’m pretty sure I figured it out. My mind has a tricky way of dealing with stress.
I Am Not Compatible….With Cold Weather
Before reading this post I highly suggest listening to Lemuria to help “set the mood” (or at least to help guarantee some wonderful sounds come out of your speakers). Every summer I design my schedule around one things: Camp Good Days And Special Times. This summer camp for children with cancer and blood disorders has […]
Frustrated Napkin!
I always try to explain to my students the importance of art making. I don’t explain this in a cultural sense but rather a way that will help them grasp what life would be like if we couldn’t make art. Basically, I teach them Scott McCloud’s definition of art which is that art is anything […]
I Think I’m In Love With Kate Spencer…And My DVX100

I figure if I change career mentalities every couple weeks while working a steady job I’ll run out of alternatives […]
This Has Been Brought To You By The B Section Of My Music Collection
Betrayed, Better Than A Thousand, Beyond, And Billy Bragg. This piece started off in my fourth period digital photography class as an example of animated movement. The stick figure was intended to kick the ball, nothing more & nothing less. Some five hours and 413 frames later the little man had managed to kidnap my […]
I Hate Myself When I’m Not Drawing And Wearing Shorts
Dear Ryan Zlomek Fans (I know you exist), I think I’m at a point in my life where happiness needs to finally outweigh “professionalism,” and that isn’t quite happening. If anyone out there has disposable income they’d be interested in diverting my way to write, draw, and animate while living in a secluded cabin for […]
