This is what I am currently shooting with for my 35 mm Black&White photography. I use a Canon AE-1 series 35 mm camera, with a stf lens. I also use a 100-300 mm telephoto lens and a Canon 188A external flash. Just wanted to give an update on what I have been using for my B&W's. I have been excelling in my 35 mm work and finding new possibilities each day, varying from developing methods, masking and many other tricks of the trade. Look out for new updates!

Drawing II & 2D Design

This First piece is from an assignment in Drawing II. We had to interpret water in any way that we wanted to or could think of so I chose to fuse together some objects that I associate with water. i.e. The rubber duck, sink, and I also chose to put water dropping from the faucet causing a splash at the surface

This piece was part of a line project for 2D design. I chose to do an action figure that was a current version of Commander Steel from the late 60's. As you can see I thought this was a great example of line because of all the cuts in the body of the action figure.

Drawing II

These three drawings are from my figure drawing class. Didn't spend that much time on any of them. The Two on top are toned paper with charcoal and they are eraser based drawings with some charcoal added to pop the image. The bottom is also toned paper with Charcoal, but is more of a mash-up of body parts all surrounding the main subject figure in the middle. This bottom drawing was just a fun concept not a graded assignment and was based off of a series of gesture drawings.

Second Semester Art Work

Heath Ledger 2D Graphite Project

These two pieces are some of my favorite works up to this point in time. I took my time on the pixelation and although it came out, well.. let's say different then I had anticipated, I enjoy the final product. When the pixelation is given the appropriate distance it is intended to have, the piece looks good. it is made up of 256 1/2 in. squares. The one on the top is the three tone part of the project. I used black, middle grey, and white to do this part of the project. All of this was done with graphite pencil's. Overall I probably spent well over 6 hours of total work time between these two pieces.
