I love Photoshop
Childrens Book Cover
First Publication
Screamer
As a gift to a local Cosplayer in my area,
I chose her as the subject for my daily
art project. I have learned more with
this peice, than any other digital work.
Not only am I a ‘Lovecraft’ fan, but
Cthulhu is one of my favorite mythical
creatures. I read A LOT, and proudly call
myself a nerd. Too many fandoms to
mention.
Here is my published Cover Design for
Sydney M. Cooper’s debut novel.
A vampire version of a model friend.
The objective was to create smooth
gradients while painting digitally.
If I’m on the computer, chances are I
am in photoshop - working through
complex visual ideas.
In this wrap-around cover, I wanted to
create movement in which the reader
is engaged with the book.
My first ever publication was a photo-
book in which I relied on my stregths
as a photographer. My design skills
were then used to create the layout.
This is one example of how I work
through complex design choices.
Quick Glance

You know what? I get it. I’ve been in the same shoes you
were in. You are bombarded with resume’s and portfo-
lios and ALL of them are starting to look the same.
( sound familiar yet?)
I have led MANY groups and hand picked people to
collaborate with including but not limited to a small non
profit video production company I ran with some of my
friends (yes, you read right - I was able to work with my
friends on a professional level, and simultaneously main-
tain our friendships even though I was their boss).
I pride myself on being a very low maintenance person,
and worker. Even when there are creative differences, i
have the inate ability to get everyone on the same page
and feel like thier ideas are represented.
When it comes to the Creative industry it isn’t just artistic
talent that makes projects work, it is the passion to make
other people happy. All of it is for that emotion you
envoke in the person.
1Okay, who is this person?(...and why should I care?)

The traditional way of putting it is:
“To engage in a career that will allow for progress in terms of skills and expertise,
socio-economic development and innovation through exposure to new
ideas for personal and professional growth as well as growth for the company,
while performing a ‘can-do’ approach to all tasks.”
While that IS true, there is a little something more to it than that. I want to find my
home. I want to work with like minded people in a creative environment so that I will
never have to “work” ( only in the traditional sense) ever again.
I am looking for a company that can challenge me and help me grow. I cannot stand
stagnation. I want to inovate and be part of the positive change in the world. There is
more than enough suffering don’t you think? I agree. Let’s make some people happy.

I wish there was an easy way to explain the formula to my storytelling, but as other writ-
ers will say, “ I see the scene play out in my head, and I simply transcribe what I see.”
Well, at least that is how the first draft is usually written.
Why am I telling you about my writing process for my novels and non fiction books? It is
simply because that is the same process I use for all of my creative enadeavors.
When I create, it is more like an investigation. I am constantly discovering new things
from technique to character qwirks. I ask myself various questions to get out of writers
block, and drudge on forward like a bull in a china shop- ALLONSY!
I will be honest, some days it does not matter how hard I try - nothing seems to work.
Thankfully I have been working so long that I know that is a sign that I am about to have
a breakthrough that will change everything for the better. Sometimes I will need to
walk away from a difficult task and do something with my hands to give my brain time
to work over the problem in the back of my mind.

So far I have given you a glipse of the fun person you
will get to work with, proven my ability to plan and think
through a game design, apply those game designs with
real world applications, and give you a little bit of eye
candy all in the same go.
My aim is to show you the level of detail I wam willing to
put into a given project, and how well I can communi-
cate my ideas effectivley and concisely.

Thank you for your attention
(Hopefully I was able to give you a break from repetitive portfolios!)
