I chose to represent myself one as a supernatural being of light and teaching, as well as Jimi Hendrix, which I sought to show his true colors. The second one is meant to be viewed from afar, it is my eye, but in a bear's body, many layers of gradient and opacity went into it. The third artwork, is meant to transport the viewer, in my case, me, to a land I created, and make it seem like I existed there as much as I could, by adding rim light, environmental perspectives and color hues.

The Darkness is a Balanced Scale

My Animation of Life

I chose to use a map of places I wished to go, and places that I was familiar with, and together I wanted them to have a map quality, with exuberance and a delicate touch of insanity :)

Map of God

My Memories

Underwater Village

I would like to inform whomever reads this, I have never done photo manipulation before, this was quite the project and eye opener.

Astral Super Cosmos: When Souls Unite

I chose to add a very unique element to reality as we know it, I feel it does just that, and puts you in another dimension. I used a lot of the eraser tool, and layers.

B&W Version

Reality in the Real

This being my first time ever experimenting with Typography I duplicated layers, adding different opacities and messing with filters, I love working with fonts and it was quite fun doing these assignments in general, I do have an attention to detail, but with text, it's completely different.

Typography Experience

Organic Spirits of the Forest

These assortments of images were spawned from surreal themes as well as dream like energy radiation. I chose to use very little brushes, and much more filters and other distortions. I duplicated many layers to have a layering effect and messed with opacity and the size of the image. FOR THE LAST ONE I branched off a little bit, but I still feel it has a surreal aspect.

I chose to distort the images in ways that would reflect a very outerworldly feel, mainly to enact a space like setting. Some layer manipulation but most distortion and positioning as well as difference in clouds and some rendering.

Artist Statement: I chose to create scenes that transport the viewer into another realm, to allow them to see a totally new plethora of styles based off of nature and the universe, as well as spirituality. I used wavy brush strokes, a blender tool, as well layers to show depth and opacity. I was dabbling mainly with a nature oriented theme, but elements of the mental universe as well. All my art has a central theme to show the viewer a portal into another place. My focus was pure colors, uninhibited so that they may interact with the painting and bring out central elements.
