all done

so, i think i've completely convinced all my neighbors that i am completely strung out on meth the past couple of nights that i've stayed up working on all this portfolio stuff. i feel my portfolio has ALOT of things wrong with it, and i truly am very insecure with its turnout. then again, im an insecure person in general i suppose. oh well, you live you learn. i am really trying to work on my organizational skills and time management skills. i guess it just comes over time, bleh. anyways. props to everyone who got their work together for review.........

of course while i was in charlotte for the day that i was there i couldn't resist going out and painting something for fun. i met up with a couple of others guys i know in town that paint and we found a lovely abandoned school just up teh street from the venue where the even was held. inside all the walls were torn apart because apparently some homeless guy wanted to take all the copper pipes from inside the walls to take them to a recycling center for some money. so we decided to paint outside of the place on the rough brick surface. i found a nice 5 gallon bucket of white paint inside so i decided to put it to use and splattered it on the wall a couple of places after i was finished with my piece. 

pics from my charlotte trip over the weekend...

here are a couple of pictures from the show we had in charlotte over the weekend. the first few are of us preparing our work for the show, there were over 20 artists involved in the show so i didn't feel like posting a crapload of pictures. the bottom one is obviously of the turnout of the event. it was prtty freaking crowded, and i decided i wasn't in the mood to stand around in all that crowd so most of us just ended up hanging out on the back dock of the venue most of the night talking. 

as for my installation for the show, since i had such a lack of time to prepare i had to recycle some older photographs frm a previous show. i ended up having to reprint/remount/rebuild them all thought because whoever hung them up at the sundial messed them up so i did it all over again.

there is the final layout for the brochure. just thought i'd share

here is the finished product for my DVD case. i am unsure of how i want to present it on a board though. one is just an illustration of the layout. and the other are pictures i took of the actual box i built over the weekend. i must say that craft has consistently been one of my weaknesses; but i definately worked on that through-out the weekend. i re-made this 4.5 times before i was semi happy with it..........

anyways, which seems like the more logical way to present this on a board??? the illustrator layout, or the photo layout? im kind of leaning toward the illustrator layout. but i definately wanted to get some practice with doing photo layouts like i did.

specialty item: dvd package for reel

still have ALOT of cleaning up and editing to do. but this is the direction i am going in. i left my thumbdrive in my other bag so i had to do this all from scratch (logo / photos). anyways, i want to have the lightrig image placed in the middle of the flap and bleeding into both pages. the front flap will remain blank with the top corner cut off kind of like the way i did with my business cards. the corner will be revealing the green texture of the lightrig once i get this thing made.

feedback please???
