You Have your Mother's Eyes
Utopia/Dystopia Project (Photoshop Unit)
Photo manipulation, 2014
I took portraits of me and 6 of my friends and combined our faces together. I wanted to create images of a utopia where race becomes so interwoven between individuals that it could not be distinguished.

Photoshop exercise: combining faces with layers
Photo manipulation, 2014
To learn how to use layers and masks within Photoshop, we were assigned an in-class exercise where we had to take two celebrities and create their potential offspring. I chose Rupert Grint and Emma Watson (Ron and Hermione.)
Client Design: Stickers
Client/Designer Project (Illustrator unit)
Digital illustration, 2014
We paired up with classmates and pretended that we were graphic designers that had to design a profesional leave behind for our clients. My client was Michelle Bozenda, and she wanted a leave behind for an illustration internship interview. I created a digital illustration from her simple self-caricature, and created another one based on the interests she gave me.
How to be Art (what I learned at my first year at MICA)
EMaC Final
Text design on various surfaces, 2014
It's the end of my first year at MICA, and this is basically a culimination of how I feel about art now. It's a little satiric, but also a little serious. After a school year of questioning what art is, I still don't feel like I have a clear definition. I know how to look, act, talk and create like an artist, but does that make me one?
To portray my view, I wanted to keep it simple, so I used black, Helvetica Neue text on a white background. I repeated this system on three different materials: as paper on canvas, a poster, and a T-shirt.
