Painting to Life Project

For our painting to life project, Rachel and I used the painting Q Train by Nigel Van Wieck. The painting reminded us a lot of being in the DC metro and how you often see people looking sad or what not, so we decided to come up with a backstory to that. Rachel plays a … Continue reading →

Diversity Project

For our diversity project, I decided to take Bianca to get a little taste of where I come from. She attended the Caribbean Circle Christmas meeting with me. I am from the Virgin Islands, born and raised, and Christmas down there is veryyyy different than in the states. Bianca heard a discussion on this … Continue reading →

Last Visual Review: Spidey Sequence

Although now rebooted, the original Spider-Man series will always be my favorite. One thing I always remembered about watching them as a kid was the title sequences and how they made the films all the more memorable. I recently re-watched Spider-Man 2 and really liked the title sequence; it seems like the ultimate superhero movie … Continue reading →

Self Portrait Project

Since his music has just been remastered and released on iTunes, I decided to check out his site and noticed … Continue reading →

Picture #9: Isolated

Isolated. Played around with some jewelry and I thought this was cute. It’s actually an earring that I lost the counterpart for, so it was isolated in that it had to pair, and I stuck it at the front and it made for a good picture.

Visual Review 8: Title Sequence

HBO is a channel that is known for shows that make big statements, and Boardwalk Empire announces itself every week with a sweeping, timeless main-titles sequence that establishes the character of Nucky Thompson and the tumultuous times evoked by the show’s period setting. To do this, the shows creators enlisted the help of company Imaginary Forces, the … Continue reading →

Picture #8: Negative Space

Negative Space. I thought it was really cool how this picture came out, because the darkness is encasing both the top of the concrete and the Katzen arts center. The negative space around these two objects allows them to stand out with a glow in the night.
