Summer 2008 Update

Hello everyone!

Well summer is upon us again and I thought that I'd keep everyone up to speed on what has been going on. I am currently working on small projects for various clubs and organizations in Canastota, New York, designing book covers and pamphlets. I will even be working as part of a team to create a poster project, similar to the idea of the one in Syracuse, that will concentrate on beautifying Madison County in Central New York.

For the ninth year, I am continuing to lifeguard and teach swimming lessons. I have to say that I am grateful to have such a supportive group of friends and staff every year that makes work fun and encourages the fostering knowledge. Also, I recently got a job working as a Production Graphic Designer at The Turning Stone Casino and Resort. Don't worry. I am still going to freelance art and design on the side and keep building my portfolio and clientele. 

There are also other projects in the works, which I will keep you posted on as they come about.

Thank you and have a great summer!

New Work

     

These two pieces are meant to represent the rich cultural heritage of my hometown, Canastota, which thrived years ago on the harvesting of onions and potatoes in central New York. We are still known for our export of these goods and continue to honor and remember the hard work of those who worked the muck lands in the early years. 

Miscellaneous

This portrait is of Middleweight and two-time Welterweight Champion of the World, Carmen Basilio. He is our local hero and native son of Canastota, New York.

The following is a conceptual idea for the cover of Third Eye Blind's long awaited fourth album, Ursa Major.
