I got published in a little book called The Optimist. It was funded by an innovation grant by the Contra Costa Community College district open to staff and students. I created the logo, a poem was selected and they selected one of my photos for the back. That was kind of a nice surprise.
You can flip through the book here 🙂
I had a little fun with trying to shoot the moon near the water tower in Brentwood Ca. The color purple I think was a mistake but I kinda like it. I guess Bob Ross was right when he said there are no mistakes, just happy accidents 🙂
In this posts are some web resources that I will be adding to for my Art 058 course on Designing for the Web Using Adobe Dreamweaver CC at Los Medanos College in the Fall of 2016. (Search for the course here in the Fall 2016 schedule)
When designing for the web there are many tools that can help speed up that process. I’ve made a collection of some of them below. If you know of any more please feel free to share! Read more
Here is my new drawing using Procreate and the apple pencil. The apple pencil makes drawing so much fun! I don’t consider myself an illustrator but I find it fun to try and I am kind of proud of this one.
This is my first time on display at the Brentwood Community Center Public Wall Art Exhibit. They have such a nice brand new building with a big hook and wire area to display art. I currently have 7 pieces on display.
There will be a light reception with refreshments on Thursday March 10, 2016 from 6:30 – 7pm at 35 Oak Steet.
There will be four artist on display, Cheryl Breitenbucher, Jerome Gibson, Annette Seabury and myself. The display will run through the end of March. I would love to see you there!
Yup one of my photos can be see from the freeway in lights this morning. Its one of 8 on display in an ad on the newly installed electronic billboard.
Before it was just a regular billboard and it couldn’t be changed until the contract was up. Now the message can be rotated throughout the year. Below is how it looked before it was upgraded to the new system.
I ran across a nice free resource online to quickly make a light diagram of a lighting setup. In my last post of the chickens I tried to show how I set up my lights in the chicken coop but it was difficult to see that there was a background flash when the flash was fired. This image shows the basic three light setup up much more clearly. Check out the strobox app.
