Miscellaneous sketches- 1

The following sketches are some long overdue thumbnails that should have been posted a while ago. Each image depicts a different idea as to create a branding logo using a buffalo as the main character. Each sketch is in its infancy, ranging from more realistic to more abstract, but trying to incorporate the idea of "gambling" yet letting the buffalo retain its element of sacredness. Besides using the iconography of "the spade" from a deck of cards to give the animal some dimension, the project objectivity was unsuccessful, but did yield some interesting art.

Something more archaic looking ...

Vincent V. Albanese | Educational Center

On Sunday June 6, 2010, Canastota High School in Central New York will be dedicated after one of its most dedicated and lifelong faculty members: Vincent V. Albanese.


With a resume consisting of over 50 years of service to the Canastota Central School District, Mr. Albanese served many facets in the Canastota educational system. At various points in his career, Mr. Albanese was a teacher, Junior High Guidance Counselor, Director of Guidance, High School Principal, Director of Instruction, Assistant Superintendent, Superintendent and upon retiring in 1989, became the honorary Canastota Representative on the Madison-Oneida BOCES Board of Education.


A formal dedication ceremony is being held in the high school auditorium with reception to follow.

This portrait is being donated by Joseph M. Murphy in recognition of Mr. Albanese's dedication. It will subsequently be permanently installed in the Canastota High School office after the ceremony.

This artist's rendering depicts a new monument to be erected in front of the Canastota

schools to commemorate the new dedication. The structure consists of stone pillars,

shrubbery, and an electronic message board bearing Mr. Albanese's name.

New lettering will also be applied to the facade of the main entrance to the high school.
