Vendors, Eagle River

I realize I haven't posted in awhile. I graduated now, and I'm trying to get on my feet in the real world.

I just went on a week-long vacation with my extended family on my moms side. We do this every year--go up north, rent a lodge. Still trying to keep active on creating my Vendors series, I took the above images. Timmy's Holiday Corner is a small deep fried food joint in downtown, Eagle River. The other food stand is from alongside the snowmobile racetrack.

I plan on cataloguing my work from last semester yet in drawing, and some other images from the summer. I plan on doing more portrait work for portfolio development, especially now that i have my SB 600 now. I'm still looking for jobs and am planning on moving to Madison in the fall. My first post-grad summer has been mostly consumed by my part-time/temporary/back-up job. Portrait studios have seen and liked my resume, I just have to wait for my turn now.

Peace out.

Sketches for a new series: "Vendors"

Spaces For Lease

Today I presented my portfolio for my series "Spaces For Lease" in Advanced Photography class. Despite my nerves, I feel it went fairly well. Here are a few examples of some shots that made the cut.

Senior Exhibition

Finally. I have photographs of what has consumed my time and sanity this final semester of college. The show opened April 11 and closes this Thursday, April 22nd. Thanks all who came to see it in person, but for those of you who hadn't gotten a chance, here is a taste of the show.

Advanced Photgraphy Spring '10 Critique 1

Yikes! I haven't posted in awhile!

Anyways, here are the photographs i intend on hanging for my first critique in photo for the semester--if the printer acts nicer than it has been tonight! I'm going for images of small city gems either closed or still in business/the everyday that is overlooked, etc. Still developing the works as a whole. Enjoy?

Pink Week T-Shirt Design

I liked this project. It wasn't an automobile brochure. We won't get on that topic because I am still quite angry about it.

Current Issues Campaign

A reader commented on my lack of updates. While I am still working on the brochure for this project (which is due tomorrow), I figured I'd post the postcard and the poster. We had to do a topic of sustainability, and I made sure to tie in the green art show that is happening instead of my 407 show at the end of the month. Yes, that is a sewing machine made from recyclable objects. I had fun with the poster and postcard, but not so much with the brochure. That is the adventure i am taking tonight. Maybe someday i'll be better friends with indesign.

Thank god I finished my annotated bibliography. ART 490 is killing me.
