Jungian Shadow-Illustrative

"Everything that man should, and yet cannot, be or do- be it in a positive or negative sense - lives on as a mythological figure and anticipation alongside his consciousness, either as a religious projection or-what is still more dangerous-as unconscious contents which then project themselves spontaneously into incongruous objects, e.g., hygienic and other "salvationist" doctrines or practices. All these are so many rationalized substitutes for mythology, and their unnaturalness does more harm than good."--"The Psychology of the Child Archetype" (1940). In CW 9, Part I: The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. P.287

The Cake is NOT a Lie-Infographic

This is an infographic I made for my Design for Motion class. The theme for this assignment was alchemy. I came up with the concept of mixing ingredients for drinks and then discovered that there were cocktails based off the game Portal.

Fangtasia Promo

This project had the concept of love. I chose to explore the more lustful side of love. I had been watching a True Blood marathon and was inspired to create a promo for the vampire bar from the show, Fangtasia. I imagine this piece being a stop motion and the type embroiding itself into the black pleather and red satin. At the moment I only have "Fangtasia" embroided but I definitely plan on going back to do the rest.

Sniper Infographic

For this project I had to use a Naive/Modernist style. I was given the concept of hunter/gatherer. I thought of the most dangerous game--humans, and who hunts humans. My brainstorming lead me to snipers. So my thought for this board is an infographic explaining what snipers do and what it all entails. I imagine the piece to be quite long so these frames depict the beginning of the piece.

"Always Be Knolling" Board

This was for my Design for Motion class. We had to create a self portrait using the concept/method of knolling. Knolling is the process of arranging like objects in parallel or 90 degree angles as a method of organization (wikipedia :) ).I thought of how I would actually draw a self portrait. I would probably look in a mirror. Well what if the mirror was cracked/shattered. My image would be refracted differently in each shard of the mirror. I thought of art that already uses this process and Cubism came to mind. So I took the refraction idea and ran with it. I shot items that I owned that represented different hobbies and likes of mine. I edited the photos and sliced them up. I may have had too much fun.

The Happening-Title Sequence

Title sequence for M. Night Shyamalan's movie, The Happening. I stayed with the nature theme that the movie has. I wanted to show nature as something that could be beautiful but threatening as well.
The timing and order of cast and crew is the same as the current opening titles.
This was shot at the Chatham County Garden Center & Botanical Gardens in Savannah, GA.

Music: "Main Titles" by James Newton Howard from The Happening soundtrack.

Tattoo Tea Party

Final project for Branding and Packaging class. I chose to do a promo for the Tattoo Tea Party, a new tattoo convention in Manchester, England. In tattoo culture, the human body can be considered a canvas. I thought of combing the traditional canvas medium (paint) with the human body canvas.
A HUGE thanks to my models, Marissa and Lindsey.
