Oh ya know, i'm just your average Bookmaker

I really enjoy doodling and working with my hands, so making books is a really good way to keep myself organized. It also allows me to catalog what I've been thinking about.

Watteau
Seurat

I'm not the only one who is obsessive




This was my drawing final for Cory Antis. We had to draw from a photocopied image, and keep drawing it in graphite, in shades of red, white (which didn't show up in a photograph) and create it in found materials. Then, we had to do it again. Yeah, it was a great final. (that was sacrasm)

I"m Obsessive

I only really learn when I dive into a task completely. The past couple years I've been really into Sharkweek (on Discovery Channel). I know, I'm a geek. I decided to base some of my etchings (actually all of them) on aquatic existence. I watched dozens of films, fictitious or not. I used The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea as my main inspirations. I also looked at numerous videos online. If you need to know anything about octopuses or squid, I can help you, or might I recommend Scott Cassell to help. Anywho, check out some of my work.
