Calligraphy from High School 1994

Image
Here is some calligraphy I did back in 1994 when I was in high school.  I recently watched a video on youtube about calligraphy and it brought back a lot of memories as a child.  I first started when I was in 4th grade and kept writing til I was in high school.  I learned on my own and didn't use the left handed tips.  I didn't see the need for it.  To me it was simply learning the correct angles for each letter.  I ended up teaching my sophomore class how to write because my art teacher at the time said I was much better than her.  I used a piece of chalk and did examples on the board for the other students.  I think I'm going to order myself a new set and come up with my own style that mimics my script style of airbrushing.  I was constantly called down to the office at the school but it was to do all the names on the certificates and awards that were given out to the students.

Gemini Turntables

Here's a little project I did with After Effects.  Quick and simple transitions using the Gemini G.  I have a set of turntables so it inspired me to do this.  I actually did this some years ago.  

RC Truck

Image
 This was a vinyl design for the back of the RC truck that delivered our drinks  Once again the focus was to show people that you get two parks for the price of one.  Pretty cool I think.

2 Parks for the price of one!

Image
 Here's another rack card I did for Santas Village.  Our focus was to show that you get to enjoy two parks for the price of one.  Actually it would be more like 3 parks because you get to see animals like at a zoo but on a smaller scale.  I was extremely happy working for the park and I appreciate all the time there.

These are my latest practice skins.  Used a 5 round liner and 5 round shader for the dragon and a 7 round liner and 7 round shader for the hand.

Wrist Tattoo

Image
 This is the second tattoo I've done.  I was told that it looks good for someone doing their second tattoo lol.  I'm happy with that comment.  I've only been tattooing for a couple of months and I practiced on two  practice skins before I went to real skin.

Last Unicorn Butterfly Tattoo

 This is the butterfly in the movie The Last Unicorn.  This is the 6th tattoo I've done.

My 4th tattoo

Image
 This is the 4th tattoo I've done so far.  I find tattooing to be much easier than I thought.  Years of airbrushing has really helped
