EXPERIENCE #3

Every and I mean EVERY SINGLE TIME IT RAINS in medford or gold hill or rogue river or grants pass I always think to myself... IT MUST BE SNOWING ON MT. ASHLAND! I have been boarding for almost 10 years now and trust me.. it sure does rain alot here in southern oregon. It seems as though every time it rains I always have this thought in my head that it "had to have just snowed at least 40 inches of fresh powder to shred!!!" however I am usually wrong I still like to hope!

EXPERIENCE #2

OHHH the original POWER RANGERS was seriously my biggest passion as a kid. Ever since I was 6 or 7 when the original power rangers movie came out I honestly believed I was "THE WHITE RANGER." When I got home that day from watching this movie, my buddy and I, of course, acted as if we were one of the power rangers. I of course was "THE WHITE RANGER." I decided it would be awesome if took a branch and used it like a sword... however the branch ended up going threw our $500 dollar window into my parents bedroom. GOOD TIMES.. GOOD TIMES!

EXPERIENCE #1

Every time I even see, smell, or even hear the words "HOT POCKET" I think back to high school and how everyday my best friend chris and I would drive to my house for lunch to get one of those scrumptious items. However, I had a recent encounter with one that makes me want to BOYCOT them FOREVER!!!!! On my lunchbreak for work, I decided to make one of these... I bit into it and some of the grease from the inside shot out and gave me a thrid degree burn on the side of my face... so yes, I NOW HATE THEM AND AM GOING TO BOYCOT HOT POCKETS FOREVER!!! probably not... I think I might actually have one for lunch. =]

PACMAN FURY 2.0

So here is my second limited edition of PACMAN fish fury 2.0. basically all I did was made the canvas bigger and added buildings and some more of the extra life soldiers. FIN! (no pun intended)

PACMAN FURY o' DOOM (COLLAGE NUMERO TRES)

I particularly enjoyed creating this collage considering the fact that I absolutely love PACMAN!!! I turned PACMAN into a fish and made the extra lives army soldiers for no apparent reason whatsoever. For this class this is probably my absolute favorite collage that I have created with my widgets. MUAHAHAHAHA!!!! =)

JABBAWAKEEZ ( MY 2ND COLLAGE o DOOM )

Well in this collage I took the "magstrike" idea from a youtube video. I altered it to make it my own and took a crazed kid and posted him nude while holding it to make the collage a tid bit more humerous. In the background youll see the buildings in the first collage, however I added my sasquatch wearing a Jabbawakeez mask to keep the mood somewhat entertaining.

Gear Head (FIRST COLLAGE)

Here is my first collage I made while using the widgets. In this collage I turned a Jedi into a gear head.. ha. and I used the action silhouettes to create an interesting background! To me flash is a very new program, so I had some trouble getting to know it alittle. However I believe my first collage turned out fairly well!

MASTERLIBRARY

Here are all my widgets for the collage assignment! I hope you enjoy poking fun and laughing at them as much as I did creating them!

These are the first six of my widgets... I decided that I just want to do doodles for each symbol. So far I like the way they have turned out! BASIC FLAT COLOR IS THE WAY TO GOOOOO!!!!

So I was searching on google for snowboarding bindings. I clicked the images button and on the second page of the google search this picture came up. I have honestly not laughed that hard in my life.. pretty random but its okay.

I cant remember who it was who said that they liked nerf guns.. but I found this freakin hilarious video on youtube its called FND Films - The merchandise... its freakin hilarious so I hope you all enjoy this video as much as I did! Just copy the url and paste it in the main url bar at the top!

I know this is kinda lame but this is a video I made of me sniping in call of duty modern warfare 2. so if you like it, it would be great if you could post a comment on my youtube page... just copy the url and let me know what you think... I got a cap card for christmas so I couldnt help myself... haha

Book Full o Snowboards

I tried to show you the process of designing the snowboards by displaying the black and white designs before I added color to this brand that I came up with. This is my passion in life and I hope soon I will be a big time designer for a company that my buddy and I came up with! I hope you enjoy the boards! I tried posting this straight out of inDesign however I had to post individual pages.. but each design are there own separate page...

Picturing the other

I took both of these photos as action shots in some sort of way. The first one is of a junior in high school talking on her cell phone sitting in the hallway. The second is of a guy named Cameron playing the guitar... If you have noticed in a lot of my photos you will notice the different angles I use to make the picture more interesting...

Alphabet Soup

The Letter "X"

The Letter "V"

The Letter "T"

The Letter "C"

The Letter "A"

In these five photographs I chose the letters A,C,T,V, and X. It honestly took me about an hour to scrounge around campus to take each photo! However, I believe I managed pretty well in completing the alphabet soup task! Honestly I have never been one for photography however this assignment made me think about each individual shot I was going to take.

So Easy A Caveman Can Do It...

Every single time I look at this picture it turns from funny to hilarious in about .02 seconds. There is something about this picture that reminds me of the Geico commercials, you know the ones that say "so easy a cave man can do it.." It is hilarious what you can find on the internet these days! Honestly I can't tell you why.. it's just one of those things!

The Stash

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpST-sHq5dc

This is the youtube website to that video called "The Stash." I chose to share this with you based off of my previous blog... If you want you can go check this video out by cutting and pasting the url above... I tried actually posting it on this website however it claimed there was an error during the process... Basically, every time I watch this video it always gives me the sudden urge to go shred the mountain on my board. Hope you enjoy the video!

Cubecraft

I honestly found this project the most entertaining simply because it shows how creative you can be with the limitations you are given. For this cubecraft project I got my inspiration from a youtube video called "The Stash." If you have never watched it, it is a snowboarding video with these wooden figures that look like sasquatch.. however throughout the video you see that there is someone in a costume that looks just like the wooden figures.. This is where I got my inspiration.

Grizzly o' Doom!

This was the second sketch using that pad.. It was honestly kind of tough trying to figure out what I was going to do in the beginning however I found a design based off of my hat. I took this design and altered it into my own creation.. by color, stars and also by adding a bear as the main focus of the piece. I love the contrast of the warm and cool colors. The bear was just something I thought would be kind of fun and edgy.. so I added it.. anyways I feel as though its and overall successful piece.
