Hot, Cold, Wet, Dry

One of my Graphic Design Workshop assignments involved reworking a few earlier projects. My original Hot, Cold, Wet, Dry project was a collage piece from my very first design class.

Self-Portraits

A few self-portraits from one of my drawing classes at JSU. I think these were for Drawing II or III so they are probably from 2007. I wasn't allowed to use a photograph for reference so I had to look back and forth at a mirror and try not to move too much. The creepy one was for a contrasty light assignment.
