Anniston's second annual Pop Up Art Gallery hosted at 10th & Noble in Anniston, AL on April 17th was a lot of fun. I managed to snag the last little bit of wall space. It was made of cinder block but I came prepared with loose prints, stickies, and sticker labels. I had a great time sharing and answering questions about my work and seeing the work of others.

After a bit of a fight with my GPS (don't trust Google Maps) I managed to find Heritage Hall Museum in Talladega for the opening reception of 'Journeys,' a selection of artwork by Anita Stewart. The exhibition consisted of a beautiful and inspiring selection of photography, altered books, and cigar box assemblages. I always enjoy Anita's photography but this was my first time seeing her work with altered books and I was very impressed. I particularly liked how she removed part of the cover to create a shadowbox-like appearance in some. In many of her altered books she cut away [...]

Did an introduction to photography class at the Jacksonville Public Library. Many thanks to Barbara and Christy was inviting me to present.
My senior show project 'Liberty, Not Debt!' is finally set up. This project consists of an educational brochure, postcard, and website. The website is no longer online but here's a few pictures of my setup. This project was very research heavy. I spent almost the entire semester reviewing government budget reports and figuring out what all the terms meant. I printed way too many postcards which I gave out as take-aways at the show. Finally learned how to make graphs in Illustrator. Check out my awesome graph making skills below. Liberty Not Debt, brochure and postcard
Aaaaaahhhhhhhh... So I feel a little guilty that my post are never as frequent, and never deal with the topics I would like them to, so here's my excuse. "I've been busy." I'm enjoying my job more and more every day. It's so nice to clock out at the end of my shift and not take any work home with me. And because most of the work I do is pretty repetitive, mostly image clipping, retouching, photography, and illustration, I've been able to learn many of the tools really well, and learn new tools and methods as well. Fall semester [...]
