Contradictions

2010-04-14T18:06:00.000-07:00

We all seem to have things in common

We all seem to have distinct qualities

we all know nothing is what it seems

we all know the end justifies the means

we all learn to believe in new things

we all learn to stick to what we know

we all want what we can never have

we all want what we let go

we all dream of bigger and better things

we all dream things will stay the same

in our world of contradictions

we all grow older

in our world of technology

we all grow younger

we don't know where this path will take us

we don't know any other way to go

Changing and growing

2010-02-22T19:22:00.001-08:00

All these thing just keep happening
it seems so unreal
everything continues changing
all i want is to stop
to go back to the beginning
but we can't pretend
can't forget
can't stop
we have to learn
we have to change we have to let go
let go of out past
and move towards our future

2010-02-22T19:10:00.000-08:00

I wish I could get you offmy mind
I wish I could get you out of my head
sometimes it feels like the last time
but then I see your face again
it may be real
or it may be a dream
but I can't forget
what has happened between
during the time we have spent together
and the time we have spent apart
I know it can never be better
because I have already given
you my heart
you need to decide
what it is you plan to do
you can't understand
what it is like for me
to watch you be in love with her
and everyday see you disappointed
its like everything inside of me is breaking
every time something inside of you breaks
we have shared so much
but I have never been honest
the way I feel for you
is not something friendship can handle
I need so much more than that
you are the only person
I have ever given myself to
so completely you consume me
even when I know you shouldn't
i tried to push myself away from you
because i know this isn't safe
but there is nothing i can do
its already far to late

A New Sunrise

2010-02-16T22:50:00.000-08:00

It is that time again,
When darkness grows thin
A light begins to take over.
Everything is behind us,
It is time to start fresh,
To forget the past,
And to move towards the future.
It is a new day
In a brand new year,
Things have never seemed so clear.
Some people are making resolutions,
Others are sick of looking for solutions,
I on the other hand,
Know better.
I am blessed to have what I
And I don't need what I don't.
Things will continue
There is nothing we can do,
Just sit and watch the sunrise
With no judgement in your eyes.

Why?

2009-09-21T13:30:00.000-07:00

I use to Flit
I use to Flutter
I use to Fly.

Now I Sit,
Now I Wonder,
Now I ask Why,

Why can't I get away from you?
Why can't I see past this?
Why do you feel like a must?

There are others that could replace you
They want to be with me too
Why do they feel like a bust?

I know the answer
I know the reason
I know the truth.

I can't keep it in. But,
How do I tell you,
When I know your not ready?
(here it goes)
Please try to keep steady,
I Love You
that's why.

Adopt A Pet -WPA

2009-04-28T00:31:00.000-07:00

A WPA is a way to get information out about issues that people are facing. In makes the world more aware but not in the same way that a commercials or printed fliers would. Its an art and it makes you stop and look at it. The I WANT YOU posters could even be categorized as a WPA, it got peoples attention and people still look at it today and now exactly what it means. My WPA is an issue on war but one on animal control and the fact that there are milions of animals sitting in dog pounds hoping to be adopted that will probably get put down in the end.

Industrial Melancholy

2009-03-29T19:40:00.000-07:00

this was the first image that i did and i really liked it and thought it looked good but then i realized that it was in the wrong size.:(
so after figuring out the right size using the same pictures from the image above this is what i came up with. lily likes this one better but im not so sure.
this was my second image and the one that i struggled with the most. i struggled because it had a lot of like neon pink in the building which was the farthest thing form what i was going for and it took me a while to come up with a good way to get the color out.
this was the third image i came up with and its actually one of my favorites so im really excited. i tried to take out the sky on one of the pictures (the one with the building)but once i removed it i really missed it so i found a way to blend the two skies together and im really satisfied with the outcome.

Photoshop:D

2009-03-26T12:19:00.000-07:00

this is my pattern based of Victorian style. Mine was based on the way that Victorian patterns seem to repeat over and over but in a different way each time.

this is what we worked on in my class today.(march 26) the reason i posted it is because it was so much fun to make and its the first time ive ever dones anything remotely interesting in photoshop and im excited about it.

Void Spaces

2009-02-23T17:30:00.000-08:00

My design was based around void spaces created in products. I designed my table to have a glass top so that you would be able to see through it into another space, and through it you would be able to see a base that would have a slight glow coming out of the panels and each end. The table base would be made out of Mahogany. As would the two side tables. The side tables would also be putting off the same subtle glows. On the other wall opposite of the two side tables there is a French doors that lead to a lounge room.

2008-09-26T21:14:00.000-07:00

I did this while at work as well when i was trying to practice my shading.
FLOW
As i watch the water flow
i start to wonder where it will go
once it reaches the ocean is it done
or does it just need someone
to help it find its way
so it can start again another day
it would be so sad
if this was the only adventure the water had
maybe it does have a future
an a life of great adventure

These are some drawings that I did over my summer when i had free time. I haven't been able to draw much since I came back to school but hopefully i will be able to start drawing again.

DC Trip Wet Yet FUN

2008-04-07T15:07:00.000-07:00

All my crazy classmates beside the Washington Monument on a very rainy night.

Inside of the Building museum with the over powering Corinthian columns and the nice children's banquet they were setting up for.

Walking up to the Lincoln Memorial on the same very rainy night.

Cherry Blossom Tree

The Jefferson Memorial and Cherry Blossoms.

The pyramid outside of our hotel.
Shes modeling that trash can.:D

The view of the Washington monument from inside of the Lincoln memorial. It is so much more amazing at night time when it is all lit up.

Hey there Mr. Lincoln your looking very white tonight.:D

2008-03-25T17:55:00.001-07:00

I love all of these beds. The first one is a child's bed, the second one is a Japanese styled bed, and the rest are more modern styled beds with a unique twist.

2008-03-18T14:16:00.000-07:00

Wooden Archway

2008-02-06T08:07:00.002-08:00

The Big Picture

2007-12-11T19:01:00.000-08:00

In this picture every one was given a small square and asked to draw it on a 12x12 sheet of paper. No one was sure what the overall picture was going to turn out to be, but it turned out to be beautiful.

Fusion...

2007-10-08T07:02:00.000-07:00

We just recived are new project where we have to take two project from other people an fuse them to make one great project. My people are Jessica Crews and Jazmine Hairston. These links are more for me to find it faster but if ou would like to look at there work feel free.

These were some of my thumbnails for what I was going to do with this product.

The images above are what I started with. They are my middle ground. I took the egg products form both people and tried to make them interlock with each other where they would look good together and I believe that this iteration does a good job of doing that.

These images lean a little more twoards Jessica's product. Instead of weaving the the paper around my ring i made it more tiled loooking but still a nice product. A more structerd apperance is what I was going twoards with it.

This iteration was designed to lean a little bit more twoards Jazmines side. I wasn't really sure how to do this so I decided to try to weave the paper around the pieces holding it up. I believe that it works really well at bringing the caotic ways in to the iteration better but wether the over all effect works is still
questionable.

my memory box:D

2007-10-02T18:28:00.001-07:00

Ok so this memory was based on my very first trip to the beach with my family. We were walking on the beach and randomly enough we happend to see these huge sea turtles making there way back to the water. I was just going to do a turtle shell and make the idea more about that, but then it was suggested to me that I should think about hidding the turtle away somehow to show the suprise that I felt when I saw them. So that is what I did, I hid Bob inside of the box.:D poor sad hidden Bob:(

O yea the bottom box was my attempt to paper mache and make it look more like sand but that didn't work out so well and the top box is my final product.

Sweeetttt my pencil box!!!

2007-09-21T06:13:00.001-07:00

This box was origanlly made using foam core board...which sucked...so thanks to the help of the people surrounding me i was able to change it to cardboard...and come out with this pencil box.

Present For a Friend

2007-09-13T10:35:00.000-07:00

I drew this picture for my best friend after we had a really big fight. The pug is her dog emma and the other one is Lucy my favorite dog in the world. but totally not my dog:(

NO MORE EGGS!!!!!

2007-09-10T07:50:00.001-07:00

These are just a few pictures of my final egg project. I feel that it turned out really well and it looks a lot better in pictures then in person.

Wanna Ride???

2007-09-06T20:10:00.000-07:00

Well obviously this is the bike. The same bike everyone drew and none of them look the same. Mine has deformed wheels, that are not even in the right spots. I am really bad with proportions and in this particular picture you can really see that.

Sketch Around

2007-09-05T19:42:00.001-07:00

Even though to me this picture looks nothing like what i expected at first it turned out really good. Not perfect but you can tell to some extent what it is supposed to be.:P The second one will be here tommorow. If you are checking.

Some Little Cartoon Doddles

2007-09-05T19:37:00.000-07:00

Ok so I love drawing cartoon pictures and The Fox and The Hound is one of my favorite disney movies. So I decided to play around with them just a little bit. I do realize that in the top picture Todd and Copper both look a little weird but if you have ever seen the second movie then you should know that that is how they were suppose to look.:D sorta
