Another piece for Digital Visualization class that is a personal diary. The assignment was to use any type of medium (video, audio, print, etc.) to create a visual diary that represents me, the experiences and other subjects that shape me as a person. I created this digital collage in photoshop and incorporated all kinds of items that interest me.
For the School of Visual Communication's Soul of Athens project, I created a series of illustrations of haunted spots in Athens, Ohio. This one is of the Ridges, Athens' mental asylum that closed its doors in 1993. Since then it has been a focal point for many stories that involve supernatural experiences.

This year for the Autocross to find a cure for Huntington's Disease, I designed a poster and t-shirt that has a very stylized look.
