Example for class where the assignment was to use vector art and stroke width to redesign and fix the haphazard use of line weight in the Buc-ee’s logo. Please do not sue the students Buc-ee’s. Also I assure you that when they pronounce your name as bussy they do not actually know what that means.

Photoshop fun for class. No AI, just wholesome, old fashioned digital compositing.

Drew some mice as part of a student’s presentation tonight.

Pink elephants on parade as we did pixel art in Adobe Illustrator in class. The technicolor pachyderms were my demo examples.

Poetry illustration example for class

In the Desert
By stephen Crane

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter- bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
"Because it is bitter,
"And because it is my heart."

Example for Digital Art class where we used color theory (amongst other concepts) to design a poster for an existing movie in a different genre, in this case Home Alone as a 2000’s era action movie.

Linocut frog print made as part of a student’s presentation. It’s my first attempt at the medium and I’m fairly pleased with the results.

Playing around with the new Affinity 3 by once again coloring an old whiteboard drawing. It’s pretty good, especially for the price (free) but still getting used to where they buried stuff in the various menus.
