Album Art

 

A NYC Jazz musician commissioned me to create his album artwork.  The guidelines were: minimal color, Peter walking away, a grandfather clock, and old-timey text.  I created this using Photoshop.

Ypsilanti Zine: A tribute to my hometown

 

Ah. My hometown of Ypsilanti, Michigan.  No one knows where it’s located, so I have to say that I’m from Detroit or Ann Arbor.  Being on the east coast also makes me aware of my Midwestern Peculiarities.  For example: Michiganders can use their hand as a map.  People look at me like I’m crazy when I point at my palm  and say “I’m from here!”

Ypsilanti is home to many ridiculous things: The Elvis festival, the Rubber Ducky race, goat lawnmowers, and a very VERY phallic water tower.  I think it has a world record.  Also, I’m very proud of the shading on the penis.

Something Weird: Experiments with Group Footage, AfterEffects, and Sound Layering

 

After Screening the video in class, my Animation teacher offered the “paper plate award” for most artsy/abstract animation.

Animations in this video were made during our all-class animation day. The bubble gum Sequence is by Chi Chi Chen, and the Frog and Spinning Lions head were made by Selin Karahan.

I used Photoshop and AfterEffects to animate.

I used various effects in AfterEffects: Griddler, Ripples, Scale, Opacity, and Warp.

The music and audio were edited using Premiere Pro

Guitar and voice is by me, while the effects noodling is done by Ben Rolston.

I am reading an excerpt from “Dancing with Cats” by Burton Silver & Heather Busch
