Vertigo



















While I was working with film stills I created a small book entitled Beautiful Carlotta, Sad Carlotta. I took stills from the film Vertigo and created a short narrative with those images. I love Hitchcock films, but Vertigo doesn't really do it for me. Still, Kim Novak's introduction shot is a stunner.

The Shining


A friend of mine and I did a series of collaborative paintings based on movie stills a couple of years ago. After we were done, I could not get enough and started a series of work based on The Shining. This is a small watercolor from that series.

Japan


This drawing is based on a photo my brother took while traveling in Japan. The vibrant red umbrella caught my eye.

Faint Claire Faint


This entry is from 2006. It has some portraits of old friends. It also has a drawing of me fainting. When I awoke from fainting I had never felt so lost, thankfully that only lasted for a couple seconds.

Early College Years


These three journal entries are from a journal I made in my late teens, early twenties. This is one of the last entries in the journal.

Started this entry while lost in the Met. I was so hungry I could no longer enjoy the art.

This entry was my first after moving to NYC for the summer for an internship. Postcard image is by Mary Cassatt. I love her prints.
I was a little homesick, but was also enjoying getting to know NY.

more on childhood

I made this page over a year ago. More on childhood and family. As you can see there are some Peter rabbit drawings. Beatrix Potter was a pretty cool chick.

May


A couple months ago I got really into drawing these little villages as seen on the bottom of this page. Villages, hot air balloons and underwater seascapes.
