I be Collage'in

Finally getting down to doing some personal work, feels good! In total I've started 3 personal projects and got an email to do a freelance.

I'm working on some collage work and here's the start of the first one, "Sloth". I'm mostly a by hand kind of person, but I decided to do this on Photoshop for the mere fact I don't know how to make spider webs/cob webs by hand. I'm new at using Photoshop to do things like this but it does look good; it has a painted feel to it.

Anyway comments and advice would be greatly appreciated since I'm out of my element.

The Lost Collage

So last year I made this collage for a Women's shirt product line for the T-shirt and Skateboard Exhibition. I think I lost the actual collage and didn't have any record of it. Thank God that I was cleaning my hard drive out last night and came upon it.

Slide Library Virgins

I poster I did a while back that I just now found (I did it before I had my hard drive and had to put stuff on cds). Glad I found it

A bunch of Graphic collaging stuff

Just thought I should put this up. A collage poster assignment for my Graphic Design 2 Class I took this last semester, which lasted for like 2 months (or it seemed).

The assignment was to pick an area of the school’s library and make a poster about it using collage. I chose the MCAD Slide library.

Here’s the assignment in its stages. As you can see I used Richard Avedon (I LOVE THIS GUY!!).





I used this collage to cover my sketch book.



The Final Poster

Quick Business Card

The 5 min. business card I made and handed out the night of the Skateboard and T-shirt exhibition. Acetone photos of me when I was a baby and of my mom in the 70s, with doodles I’m making for a stationary line.

Skateboard and T-shirt Exhibition

So during the month of March and April my skateboard and t-shirt design were up at the Tea Garden (Minneapolis in March and the one in St. Paul in April). This is the opening of the exhibition in March.


Both designs are two separate style identities of may brand, “Damn Giraffe”. With the skateboard you have the CITY/STREETS and the t-shirt you have the ART GLAM.

Self Portrait with Animal (Spring 2006)

I had the time to scan in a bulk of work today and I came across this assignment I did in Foundation Drawing: Figure.

KiKi Smith exhibition was in town at the Walker and she had a lot of pieces with people with animals. So my teacher made an assignment inspired by Kiki's artwork, the problem is is that I don't like animals and most of them scare the shit out of me. So I did a bunch of taxidermy birds and found a died raven on the street and photographed it.
