Once in a Lifetime

My day had an interesting start to it recently, it was one of those things that you would never even imagine happening.

I go to school at Kennesaw State University, which is located just north of Atlanta, near the city, but north enough so its closer to the North Georgia mountains. I consider myself lucky because of events like this, when wildlife and I come face to face. Usually its just small woodland creatures, like squirrels, chipmunks, mice, and the occasional rabbit, but the other day was a little different. As I was walking into the art building to put my stuff in my locker, I saw this guy. I believe he was a Red Tailed Hawk, but don't hold me to it. I quickly took out my phone to take a picture of him, before he flew away as I approached him (or so I predicted.) I snapped a picture and walked towards him (on the way into the building), and he didn't fly away! I was somewhere between 3 and 5 feet away from him when I took these pictures with my super poor quality camera phone, I SO wish I had my real camera that day, it was an incredible experience! I watched him, and he seemed to be paying close attention to me as well. Once again it was an incredible experience, and here's the proof...

One more week @ the park, some new sketches, mostly old ones...

The guy on the right is actually the confused guy's grandpa...his self proclaimed nickname was "shaggy"...

No words could describe how enjoyable this sketch was...

Not quite sure why I like this one, nothing special, but I like it...

Luke worked the summer with us at SFOG, as we so affectionately call it...

And Pat is our resident sailor

Swirlism

This was a project for my 2D Design class, the assignment was to create a self portrait using only textures and patterns to create value (rather than stippling, hatching, and cross hatching). I dub this Swirlism because the majority of this image was created using a variety of "swirls" and circles...My hair is words...lots and lots of words....

Click for a closer look...its quite trippy



Enjoy...
