Photoshop 101 and 102
I have been fortunate to have been teaching at the Digital Gym Media Arts Center here in San Diego for over a year now, and am never more excited to be able to impart onto others some of the skills teachers and experiences have given me. Today I taught the first of a two-part series on Photoshop. A sort of crash-course to help steer new PS users through how to understand the program, it’s interface, some basic but highly used tools, adjustments, effects, and concepts. The class went very well, and next week I look forward to picking up on heavier techniques and topics.
ADAPT – “Don’t Let Prom Be Your Last Dance”
When the team at ADAPT asked that I help them quickly create an eye-catching illustration to help promote safety and sobriety, I couldn’t possibly resist… because they requested ZOMBIES! Being a fan of zombies as well as a secret illustrator by night, I was more than happy to make their dreams a rotting reality!

Ripley Nox
Ripley Nox is a “soon-to-be published technothriller/speculative fiction author” who approached me with her ideas for her overall visual branding as an entity as her books are poised for epublishing. We discussed future spaces, alternate realities, infinite energy, and swimming through gulfs of information. She walked me through the character’s lives and impulses, as well as the conditions that created them, and the divergences from our own world. From these conversations we;ve created a library of items that we will be using for all of her upcoming materials and media. Enjoy the sneak peek:
