My study model is complete!! This means NO all-nighter tonight, you have no idea how good this makes me feel....without further adieu....*drumroll please*

what's going on world? Here are some pics of my study model for my final model. I am not finished with the study, but hopefully I can be finished by thursday (has to be complete by friday). Enjoy.

Here are two shirts I made two days ago for two friends of mine to take on their trip to Miami. You'd have to know both guys to understand what the shirts mean, but here they are anyway. Enjoy.

Part of the reason I haven't blogged in a while is because I felt I didn't have anything tangible to post. I'm still yet to fully document all my work from last semester, and I'm already half-way through this semester. Anyway, here's some new stuff. Due in no small part to the work I have been exposed to lately, I've developed a penchant for photo collages and chronophotography. i.e. David Hockney and Eadweard Muybridge. I've been really fascinated by their work and hopefully I can find a way to fit it into that "seamless, enjoyable whole" that this blog is about. Enjoy.

The first image from the top is simply me raising up my leg from the ground. The second is a drawing done in Rhinoceros and Illustrator based on the vectors, range of motion and profile of my leg performing said motion.

Here is my "joint" model. For this assignment, we had to build a model that had "joints" that were based off a previous assignment (I will post later). My "joint" is the seam between light and dark, inside and out. Hope you like.

wheew! that's how I feel right now (besides the fact that I'm a bit sick and extremely exhausted). This semester has been stressful, exhilerating, physically and mentally draining. However, it is DEFINITELY the best semester I've had at Temple so far, academically-speaking. My GPA may not be the highest I've gotten (I still don't know what it will be), but I've learned the most and I've definitely been the most creative. The pictures below are just a select few from the many from this semester. They don't show the amount of time and effort put into each one. I hope you can appreciate it because I put everything I had (at the time) into every single one. Nothing is half-assed. Without further adieu...

STUDIO: FINAL MODEL







WALL PRESENTATION







PERSPECTIVE:
this drawing is ridiculous. Ridiculous in the sense that it took forever to do. I hope you can see how many lines are on it. I had to use colors, or else I would've gone crazy. Here it is:





I hope you like it. I will be posting more of my work shortly. Feedback is definitely appreciated!

Here is the finished product of my first assignment for my Design Representations class. The prompt was to take an assigned image and use a specific technique to reconstruct it. I was given "subtraction." I struggled with the concept for a while, but then just took it as literally as possible. Below is the original image:

This is a shirt I made about a year ago (jeez, can't believe it's been that long) and I finally decided to post it. It is Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United.
