Old Work

I was going through some old files, and I figured I'd post some work that I still really like, but hasn't seen the light of day in a while. First up is actually a form study project from freshman year of college. I had to illustrate one of my favorite books, Tolkien's "Silmarillion," as a sort of dream project. The only problem was that I had to do it in 3d. I ended up making a costume for the character Luthien. It's modeled by the lovely Emily, who fit's Tolkien's description perfectly.



Next is a piece for my Word and Image class. The assignment was to hide a letterform in a painting. If you squint, you can see that the gestures of all three Gorgons make the "G" for Gorgon.
Lastly, another piece from Word and Image. We had to do a poster about the concept of "spying." I wanted to do something more narrative, so I ended up doing a piece about Mata Hari, a Dutch courtesan who was (now we know wrongfully) convicted and sentenced to death as a spy during WWI. Incidentally, Mata Hari and I share the same birthday.
