“TOOTSIE” POP

What do all the pictures and messages on a

Tootsie Pop mean? If altered, what could they

represent? On this (5ft.X5ft.) acrylic painting

I transformed my journal into a gigantic Tootsie

Pop wrapper. My thoughts made up the text

and my hobbies and friends made up the

images.

SOCCER INVENTED

This “Rennaissance” rendering on canvas

was created to portray a good friend Cory

Cosgrave’s personality as if it was being

invented (DaVinci style) for the very first time.

It has since been used as a twitter background.

TV BARS

This sillouette was extracted from an image

by photographer Morgan Lyman. Since then,

it was been used as a stencil for tagging, used

as a watermark, and placed over TV bars as

shown here.

BALBOA ISLAND

There are few places on earth better to be than

Balboa Island, CA at sunset. This image was

used as the back cover of a wedding guest

sign-in book.

THE NOTES ARE ON THE WALL

This idea was inspired by the rectangles found

on victorian styled walls. The orignal plans were

to then fill in the papers with notes, poems, song

lyrics, and journal entries. However, the

cleanliness and ambiguity was just too enjoyable

to change anything.

Gs IN HER EYES

It was fun to explore the possibilites with the

human eyes. Beginning explorations played

with the reflection. From there it evolved to

altering the actual iris.

PAINT ME A BRIDE

This piece was created in two seperate parts:

The bride and The background. Both designed

after one another, then both altered after one

another.

WHITE ROSES AND VIOLETS

There are 3 laws of wedding albums:

-Focus on the bride.

-Focus on the bride.

-Keep it classy.

THE KISS

This page of PORTFOLIO contains both ART

and PHOTOGRAPHY. But some pieces, when

done well enough, fulfill both categories.
