Creative Crash

For the first time in a while I've finally found the time to just sit down every day and create something. What makes these pieces different is that I'm pulling random ideas, images, and thoughts from my head and throwing them on the paper in ways I generally don't. It's an uplifting feeling to find yourself wondering how the piece will finish while at the same time not caring about the final result. I hope you enjoy them as much as I've enjoyed making them- more can be found in my same photobucket account: album

I've had countless inspirations lately but nature, thought, and faces have especially been found infiltrating my mind- wonder why?

Summer Slowdown

Ok, I've got a few updates for this one- first off, my dad and I drove down to portland yesterday to check out a design firm by the name of Ziba, where we have a family friend who graciously showed us around the firm, from their extensive shops to laid back creative work stations, as well as introducing us to the firm's strong ideology of simplifying and strengthening consumer's overall experiences and interactions with products and services.

I just recently bought myself a new digital slr camera (canon rebel eos xti- definitely recommended) and have been having some fun exploring the options of shooting manual but having the capabilities to save hundreds of photos in digital. Anyway, I'll post a few sometime soon.

On a different note- I've been having a rough couple of weeks, but fortunately for you thats supercharged my creative side, so I'll see if I can post some of my newest creations, sketches, and odd mental images. Until then, enjoy whatever summer you've got.

PNA Mural and Eagle Project

Wow..Full-Time really means FULLTIME

Ok, for anyone who's been occasionally checking in to see if there have been any updates- I apologize. As I finished up the school year dealing with Graduation, my Eagle Scout Court, and more, I also started my full-time summer work schedule at Gorgeous George's were I've been working for over a year.

I've been asked to be a correspondent for the PNA Blog- which although not yet set up or anything, really excites me as I feel that the Center has been a big part of my life. On a related note I was interviewed in Rex Dulay's short documentary about Community and the PNA, and although I haven't had a chance to see it yet, I hear it's great and urge anyone interested to contact Rex at rex@phinneycenter.org.

Thanks for checking in- and again I have some albums I hope to post soon!
