This was a fun exercise in practicing digital painting and masks, along with a smattering of filters. I really like the way this image came together.

Propaganda Brainstorming

- February 25, 2019

I'm generally interested in current day political issues, design in the everyday world and where it could be improved, music, urban planning/architecture, and a multitude of other things (cop-out, I know!). I'd say some of my core beliefs are fairness, reliability, an experience-oriented life, a spirit of adventure, curiosity, openness, rationality, efficiency, respect, and loyalty. Something somewhat silly I feel passionate about are roundabouts- I feel like they would solve so many efficiency problems in the US if only we would be more open to them in concept and execution. On a more serious note, I also feel passionately against guns and the proliferation of them in American culture- it's yet again an efficiency and protection for those who are vulnerable to make common sense reforms to gun laws in the US, but the desires of the few somehow continue to overwhelm the concerns of the many. Something that may also work is my feelings towards horoscopes and birth signs- I fe...

Who Am I?

- January 13, 2019

What makes you the person you are? A question that ideally we all spend our lives trying to find the answer to, and ultimately never truly answering. We are always changing, adjusting, or otherwise adapting to our surroundings, which means that who we are is always in a state of flux. Anyways, a big part of who I am is waxing philosophical on things ranging from truly mundane to truly philosophical, like this question! If I were to try and use one word to describe myself, I'd call myself a thinker. It could be interpreted as neurosis or introspection or even anxiety, but I believe that 'thinker' is the best single word to encapsulate me. So with "thinking" in mind as the most broad descriptor of who I am, let's break down the other aspects that make me who I am, by, you guessed it, thinking! I am... Someone who is endlessly fascinated by the world around me. Generally conflict-averse. Not chained by what is considered "normal" or proper...

Project 3

- April 23, 2019

natural , 2019 What is 'natural'? It is a vague term that means different things to many people- to some, meat is natural. To some, only eating plants is the only way to qualify as natural. In my short, I endeavor to question this dynamic in attitudes towards farming, food, and sustainability. I want viewers to come away thinking about their deep seated biases towards food and question why exactly they feel the way they do- is it because of a truly deeply held belief, or is it a gut reaction to something that someone else has shown them? The short does not aim to demonize one particular facet of consumption - this film is not anti-vegan, anti-GMO, or pro-factory farming. Rather, I want things like conspicuous consumption and branding of food, the dichotomizing of plants as food and meat as food, and even so far as the place of humans in the food chain to become questions in the forefront of the viewer's mind. I will know I have succeeded if even one person ...
