SAILOR IN TOYLAND
Here's another digital collage piece. I have not had a lot of time for tactile activities lately. Photoshop is something I'm doing at school, and this gives me a chance to use my new skills and practice them in a creative way. This is done with images and photos from sxc.hu. I love retro dolls and toys. I usually search randomly to come up with ideas for pieces. When I found this sailor doll, I knew I had to make a collage around him. Reminds me of Robot Chicken.

DIGITAL COLLAGES USING PHOTOSHOP
This is something new for me. I've always wanted to learn how to do this, and now that I'm taking a class, I'm applying what I'm learning to something I love to do, which is collage! Though the tactile, touchy-feely part is missing, the results are pretty doggone wonderful.

MOMIJI ILLUSTRATION & ARTICLE

This is an illustration done for an article for my rendering class at school. We had to find a photo to use for the illustration, then render it in our chosen medium. I used technical pens and colored pencil for my drawing. I used Photoshop to edit and digitize the art for use in Adobe InDesign for the article. I made the Japanese symbol for "East" from a stock photo using Adobe Illustrator. I found the perfect typeface to use with the headings, it's called Twelve Ton Sushi. The illustration and the article presented very well in class. Yay!
