My theme for 2011: “PROACTIVE, NOT REACTIVE”.
Unlike my themes for the last 2 years, this year’s theme is highly internal. Toward the end of 2010 I started to realize that I am a highly reactive individual, that (largely due to my childhood as an Army brat) I have grown accustomed to continually adapting to whatever situation I’m currently in and morphing into whatever it is I think I need to be in order to assimilate/belong. Although this may sound like a useful/practical way of living, it does not necessarily lead to being truly happy, as my happiness is always contingent upon external circumstances.
So in 2011, I’ve made it my focus to look inside myself and discover who I really am, what I really want, the way I want to be…and unapologetically be myself in each and every situation I encounter throughout the year. My hope is that by the end of the year I will be quite comfortable in my own skin, that I will no longer second guess myself, that I will no longer feel guilty about pursuing happiness and my chosen direction in life, that I will move forward proactively and not allow external stimuli to adversely affect me.Design, Graphic Design, Branding2011 -

In 2002 I followed up my first "Infinity Series" image collection with my 2nd, entitled "Slice". Here the focus was less on 3D objects and more on layers of flat 2D shapes. As with the "Rayform" title, "Slice" was sold/distributed through Digital Vision (eventually acquired by Getty Images), and layered .PSD files were included on the discs so that customers could customize the artwork as they deemed fit.Design, Graphic Design, Digital Art2011 -

I kid you not, one creative director I used to work with referred to the green in one designer's design as "sexual green". That comment so stuck in my head that I decided to make a poster out of it.Design, Graphic Design, Digital Art2011 -

The Lovegun piece was a shot at representing the inherent complexities of love & relationships, specifically with regard to the bi-directional nature of giving & receiving, aggression & submission. Does it feel better to give or receive? To enforce your will over another or to submit to the pleasure of your lover? To be selfish or selfless? Are there winners and losers in love? What are we in it for?Design, Graphic Design, Illustration2011
