Work Experience
I originally was introduced into the digital art community by making signatures for forums. After about 5 years my skills gradually advanced to become, in my eyes, a successful graphics designer. You can see below, some of my art. I also have some of my photos here. If you wish to see more you can visit my deviantArt page. If you have any questions be sure to contact me, I've supplied more contact info at the bottom of the page.
Tools Of Trade
I use many tools during my work. I mainly use Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Illustrator CS4. As you can see, I am a photographer, so I use a camera too. As of this moment I don't really own my own, I'll just be renting them until I have the money.
Alone
As the sun set at Big Bend National park, I couldn't help but to take a photo of a lone tree hanging off of the cliff.
I think the photo turned out sweet. It really gives you a perspective on how vast and open it was.

Out Of Place
Another photo during the sun set at Big Bend. This one is of some yellow fungus growing in the middle of no where on a rock.
I thought this was cool because the fungus was really vibrant compared to the rock.

Agony
This is a photo taken in my backyard of a lizzard that my little dog chased and bit.
You can really see the pain and fear in the lizzard, so I couldn't help but to take a photo of it.

Cancer
A photo of a really, really greasy jar on the bottom of our BBQ pit. It's full of burnt grease from meat, obviously.
I named this one "Cancer" because it's said that cancer is the cooked food disease. Honestly if you ate what's on that jar, I'd bet you would get cancer.

Midnight Bloomer
A shot of a some flowers late at night in the lawn.
Honestly I have no idea why I took this, I guess I was really freakin bored. Anyways, I used a flashlight and tripod because it was actually past midnight.

Bikin'
I took this photo after school while I was riding my bike down the street.
Surprisingly enough this is the only one of many that turned out focused. I had exposure up, and it was hard to keep it steady.

Torn
A photo of some bark on a log from a tree that was next to my house.
The tree that the log came from had to be hundreds of years old, seeing it had like a 10 foot circumference. The thing was cut down along with another one like it to build a house in its place.

Poison Hand
This is a vector drawing of hand, I made it all in Photoshop CS4.
The concept behind this one is basically, when the hand touches something it turns bad or goes wrong. I don't know what motivated me to do this one, but I like how it turned out.

3 Days In The Ground
Another vector drawing, this time of a heart. Again, I made it all in Photoshop CS4.
The drawing is of a bad heart. I made this one because I had a lot of feelings toward my grandfather passing away from a bad heart.

Painted Faces
I used stock brushes in Photoshop CS4 to make this. I was messing around with the colors and having fun, so there's no real concept behind it.
Top
Abstract
Again, on this I was messing around with the colors and seeing what I could do. I mainly used gradients and triangles. I think it turned out nice, seeing most of my friends to me to make more like it.

Why America
This is my very first full size vector peice. I messed with the style a lot afterwards, but this one is the first.
The concept has a lot of controversy, but in my eyes it mainly reflects the death and sorrow towards the soldiers that died for such an arrogant cause.
