French Fry Alphabet

We had to make an  English alphabet with whatever we could think of and after seeing my friends bored one day making a stupid message out of french fry's I thought that's what I should do.. just with letters. I was slow at first about it and kept putting it off but eventually I changed out the lenses on my camera with a macro so I was ready. Despite getting plenty of odd looks from everyone who didn't know what the hell I was doing while i took all the photo's out in the front it wasn't too bad. I thought it came out pretty good I guess but it was a little annoying having to change every single letter to the right size after realizing my document was just a little too small. I think it's cool and I'm glad I got it done already.

Coconut dies in honor

I actually really enjoyed doing this project and I like the results I got out of it. Although I could've maybe added some things like a better backround I ran out of time and its good enough I guess.

Domu, A Child's Dream manga cover 1983

 This a very old manga that is very well done in many aspects. Even thought the way some people look a little funny in old  Japanese animation, I like it because it is more distinguished and Japanese oriented than comics I mostly see today. It was this writer's ( Otomo )  first story about children posessing telekenitic power's that set the stage for his six book long epic "Akira" which took him ten years to complete and  in that time making a 5 million dollar animated film of it in '86. I searched for various images of Domu that I thought would work together and I cut out japanese letters since I've always wanted to see that version.
I feel content with what I've made and that it's my tribute to Otomo for showing me things that help me explain life a little bit better in a strange way.

Moon Biking

I liked what I did with this project and I feel that the more and more I plan out what would work with whatever I'm given the broader my imagination becomes. Also my knowledge of photoshop expands as I ask for help on things that'll help me do more cool things later on. I like looking at the moon a lot especially with a telescope so I can see all the craters across it's face. I like mountain biking and I have a friend, Redmund who lives in Colorado who is an amazing at it and where's full gear like this dude here. I thought it kind of looked like a space suit in a way so it seemed to work. If it would be possible to work around the lack of gravity some how I would definitely do this for sure. It would be sick.

GSA poster

For the GSA club they wanted to have a movie night and the only movie I heard was going to be watched was Milk and I told Monican the head member of the club about Gus Van Sant's other film called Elephant so I put that in too. The Graffiti Artist I heard about and thought it would just look good too in the poster and I liquified the edges like the others and maybe should've put an image below it like I did for Elephant, but I had a hard time finding a good one. The bottom black space to the left is actually for more info since they want to use it later so the date needs to be changed too. I'm going to make some minor adjustments to it later on, but I'm not going to lie I like overall how it turned out.

Moog poster

This past weekend this sick electronic/hip-hop music festival went down in Ashville, NC and I was
so bummed not be able to go. My good friend Truman went and said it's was unbelievably awesome and I'm sure it was. I found a Moogefest name tag and a photo of the show from last year and changed the opacity so it would show through with the lights an everything. Then I picked out the top artist's I wanted to see and arranged them in a order based upon the backround which is a phot I liquified and made the colors of it show through the pictures of the various artists. I love how it looks and wish I could make some money off of it so I could go next year haha.
