Labor by the Hour
It seems that the only place to park now-a-days is in a mechanic’s shop. This editorial imaging piece was created as commentary on the ever rising cost of car ownership. Be it parking, insurance, gasoline, or maintenance.
Sunglasses Illustration
Using Illustrator’s gradient mesh tool exclusively, I recreated my favorite pair of sunglasses. I’m glad these glasses have been immortalized as I broke them soon after this was completed.
Fur
Fur versus concrete. The contrast struck me while I was exploring the abandoned military base in Alameda, California. The fur was so warm and inviting in contrast to the urban decay it was ensconced in.
Curlativity
Glowing skin and radiant lips. I developed a distinctive portraiture style where the subject is completely desaturated and placed in a world of engulfing color. The objective was to study the relativity of color, and it’s effects on the subject.
Peace and Security
Living in the ghettos of West Oakland, California for a time taught me a lot about the human condition and the instinct of survival. Down this corridor between two buildings lived an old lady. Sweet as pie, but smart in knowing that instilling fear kept out what was truly scary.
Men are Mammals
Having personal style will never go out of fashion. This piece was created for a fashion shoot, incorporating the idea of the mysterious male model, and the truth behind glamour.
Husk
What we find on the outside often reflects the inner-self. I have a fixation with palm trees as a transplant to California. Their bark is very unlike that of the regal pines back home in Maine.
