Count of Monte Cristo Cover Art

Hallo Human: 

As a project for inDesign class I have to create a book cover featuring original artwork. The book that I received was The Count of Monte Cristo which is a pretty classic tale (so I've heard).I've never read the book but I've seen the 2002 film remake which was pretty good.

Dantes says: Feel free to critique me

At Home Internship Work!

Hello Human:

For the past few months, starting in October of 2012 I have been working with a certified life coach from upstate NY. Since she is such a long distance away this has been a work from home internship. Thus far I have helped create her logo and business card, now I am working on a promotional brochure for special needs coaching business.

Here it is:

If you have any suggestions for things to add to this brochure please leave a comment :D

Now that the mystery is solved, here is a picture that I found on the Westchester Magazine website which includes more photos of the behind the scenes stuff involved in or Spring Fashion 2013 photo shoot.

Where it all happens

Greetings Human:

Below are pictures of where all of my ideas become reality. This is where I feel most comfortable creating therefore it is the environment where most of my art is produced. The walls of this room may be boring beige, but they are covered with paintings/ drawings I've created, posters, and so forth.


Well here it is; my room:
Kookie, the cat says you should comment this post.

Illustration of Text pt. deux

Greetings Reader,

This day is coming to a close so why not welcome the new day with an illustration. Here is another creation using the same "see through" text effect from yesterdays post. There is a possibility of snow tomorrow in NYC therefore this image features a snowy theme. This text effect has become a favorite effect of mine to use in Illustrator.

Criticize Me. (*^-^*)
