This collage was created as the source file for a lesson
on the Photoshop editing tools.
The collage makes me feel very "Body Electric" but
it has creeped out a few students.
Me as a Pre-Raphaelite painting. Very
Shallot-ish, especially the green tinged face. I started this
graphic by being foolish late at night; scanning my face with
my eyes closed.
This image lead to the creation of a very successful Photoshop
assignment where we photographed students and asked them to place
themselves in famous paintings.
Tyger, Tyger was an assignment for a summer Computer Graphics
course at UNT. The image is composed of Corbis.com images, plus
a picture of myself I took in the dorm room. I'm not happy with
the lighting! I just don't blend in well enough.
This assignment holds interesting memories for me mainly because
I was bored out of my mind in the class, and near the end of the
semester I realized the instructor had picked up on my attitude
and was understandably a little snippy with me. I turned in my
work on the last day of class, and his attitude changed dramatically.
He told me I should apply for a teaching fellowship.
Warhol's Angel is another
graphic created to use in a classroom assignment. This particular
lesson talked about using clip art as a base for creating non-anti-aliased
art. (I'd rather just say aliased art, but I recently read
aliased is not a word. It should be, just because the alternatives
are so akward!)
This is a very simple image of my sister, Rebecca,
taken during her Senior Show at Stephen F. Austin. Rebecca hadn't
slept in four days, and was actually going cross-eyed before the
photo. The photo was altered using one of the Wacom tablet Photoshop
plug-ins.
Two banners from the North Lake College Visual and Performing
Arts website I created. The site is defunct, and all I have left
are my graphics.
