eraser header

Still feeling my way on this one, but I’m playing wit multiple layers of the same image, with different solarization combination, and erasing back into the piece. It is sooooo hard not to go 80’s on this…

Some more tests with the Nik Color Efex solarization mode. This time I tweaked the neutrals to get some colour, and also reworked the photos a bit to push and pull some elements. Maybe I’m onto something…

Now, when it comes to web design I’m so far behind its embarrassing, but with the relaunch of Grim Undertaking’s website, I kept it as simple as possible. Here are some header images I created from their photo files. The concept is that ghost research is also about appreciating the physical environment of  a haunted location as well as its activity. I used Nik Color Efex’s Solarization to have total control over the variables.

A friend was looking for something personal in a wedding invitation, so we went with something clean that just touched on the traditional. The graphics are vectorized stamps the bride will use to mark thank-you notes and future stationary. The invites were folded once and mailed in creamy envelops with satin-paper lining.

Ever watch the movie Roadie from 1980? Its a strange tale, staring Meat Loaf and a really thin girl with weird teeth. Granted its not the greatest film ever, but the highlight is seeing a young Alice Cooper walking all hunched over and nerdy without make-up. Classic. This sketch is from a much more mature Cooper, but I’m in love with his teeth!

So, I have some time to get up some of the artwork that was on display for the ‘Face Value’ show in April. Here are some of my favorites…and apparently the favorites of others as well!
