I really like this one. I used adobe illustrator to make the triangles and messed around with layer styles and lighting effects to create this scene.

here goes 2 new pieces that deal with layer styles and lighting effects, pretty fun stuff...

here goes my last project the accumulation. I collected cigarettes from co-workers and others and glued them together. I painted the cigarette packs black and used a stencil of a no-smoking sign in the process. This project shows how cigarette smoking has become all but outlawed in many states in the US. The black represents black lungs and the no-smoking sign speaks for itself...

here goes some black in whites of the project

i then began to sew the fabric on the old shirt of mine... i used five negative issues and five positive issues all people deal with on a daily basis.

i started to write negatives and positive feelings on the red sheet and cut them out into little rectangles

for the body project i was really lost on what i really wanted to do. After a few different ideas i decided on "they were their heart on their sleeve". I took this saying in a literal context and decided to write down personal insecurities and positive things that I feel about my self. for this project I used a red silk sheet and blue thread and a old dress shirt of mine to do the project.

here goes a few pics from the painting, this is when i put in the figure and finished her face... and the last pic is finished and ready for the gallery

hey guys Ive been working on a painting that's going to be in the lake Norman art show in Davidson on march 19Th, these are the first pics, please excuse the quality I took these pictures in an unknown setting and it turned out pretty bad...
