The following images are work from a group of four students in my most recent week long 3D summer class at CSTCC. These students had very little to no prior knowledge of 3D. Each day the students had five hours of instruction, including lab time. After a brief introduction of the blender software and some art fundamentals the students began designing models. At one point I mentioned that we should create a town. The students loved this idea so much that during our design meeting they took it a step further on their own, coming up with a location, culture, language (written and spoken), history, layout and inventions.

What you see below is the product of their enduring labor and creative minds.

Old west store buildings, plants, and base plate were modeled by me during in class demos. All else is the product of my students own creative minds and work.

My sister came to me today with the idea of designing a t-shirt for her schools annual Halloween fundraising event Nightmare Trail. We sat down together and over the course of a couple hours came up with the text and original artwork. To the printers on the morrow!

Took some time off to take the wife on a date and meet artist in the Chattanooga area. Having moved away for schooling and returning to my birthplace with a new life and fresh take I'm happy to see how Chattanooga is maturing. Oktoberfest at the Chattanooga Market was great; followed by a midday slumber and ending with the movie Beauty is Embarrassing which ended with a Q and A session by Mr. Wayne White; the hillbilly turned Hollywood art director turned what-ever-the-heck he wants to call himself now.

I've been doing more traditional works recently and haven't made the time to begin scanning, color-correcting, and uploading for all you digital digesters to visually choke on.

Figure drawings done without reference or model(s).

A flyer I designed for a close friend who is leading a unique bible study in the Cincinnati area. Check out the design and if you live in the Cinci. area check out the bible study.
