Scrapbook Entry 02


Comical piece, made by close friend, simple design but for a designer gives good advice


A Univ of TN football painting, just gives me a warm feeling when I look at it, and reminds me animals in design can be good choice when going for emotion

Picture Plymouth Prowler, car I have followed since original concept design, nice combining of old and new

Wonderful CG piece, good textures, lighting, shading good reference for sci-fi works when needing reference 

Another comical piece, made by close friend, simple, yet easily remembered

 CG Terrain, water and rock texture styles

A CG, scene from a computer game mod, great textures, design ideas for realism with fantasy style

 CG terrain, great textures of trees and canopy, fog lighting methods and lighting through clouds

a graphical representation of the Aurora Borealis exaggerated and enhanced, reflections and water texturing is good reference

Scrapbook Entry 01

This is my very first business card design, I keep it to show me where I was and compare to where I am


This is my second business card, it was more successful at helping me in getting business and making the decision to go to school.


This graphic has been one of my favorite creations, I keep it to compare to my newer works, the form, lines and sense of movement with depth is what draws me back to it again and again

This piece I made late one night, it was made in anger I keep it as a reminder of past times, and to give me ideas as to what not to do again 


This was my avatar for a forum site, the color and tribal pattern is the draw to it.


Another creation in the late of night, boredom while learning software.  It is good form, color, but too much emptiness


This is my attempt to complete the previous design, this is my reminder not to rush a design, and know when to take a break to finish later, even if minutes later. 


This is a slogan, and piece made in honor of veterans and I keep it as a reminder not to forget our service men and women, as well as the fallen ones.


Concept vehicles hold a great place in my mind the combinations of form, function, sleek lines, and new technology is a favorite of mine, and inspires



Another military reminder, I feel there is no way to have too many reminders, and if someway I can put a subtle tribute in more works I try to.


I like this for the depth, the texture patterns, and the wonder of what is down the tunnel, that alone inspires

Another tunnel, more inspiration of what’s in the darkness, the textures of the cave and the light shading gives both direction in the art and ideas 

I got this from a close friend; it is a great design, it both is eye catching, and informing, but no matter your eye is always drawn back to the fire and guitar it helps me desire to make designs of the same quality.
