Currently I am busy with creating the album artwork for my friends in the Fort Wayne based pop-punk band, Close Only Counts. Musically, the album is absolutely fucking awesome so I encourage everyone to buy it when it releases. I'm just trying to add my own spark to it and I'm very glad that they asked me.
Check them out please:

Recent work in photo...
Each photo in this post deals w/ a different subject, however, all were shot and developed manually. I used a Vivitar Single Lens Reflex camera w/ Ilford HP5 B&W 400 ISO film.
Self-Portrait.
In my self portrait I wanted to explore the fact that a human's physical make-up is exactly like that of a beast. Humans are made up of flesh, bone, and cartilage just like an animal. I wanted to be naked because I felt it the closest I could come to being symmetrical with the animal. With the right placement and the help of Matt's finger on the shutter release, it ended up looking pretty sweet. Above me are about 4 or 5 uncooked steaks hanging from hooks.
Documentary series
Recently I've been getting into a lot of documentary style photography like Gavin Watson and Alessandro Zuek Simonetti. I wanted to follow one of my friends from an old job, Matt, around for a couple days w/ his friend (and his girlfriend) in the Mobile Home Park on Wells Street. These are only two from the whole series.

New things...
Earlier in this blog I showed you two pieces that I had started for the Tell Tale Heart show. Those are now finished and I just picked them up today from getting some nice framework put on them. I feel that the frames really bring out that sort of Edgar Allen Poe-esque sophisticated horror feel in each piece. I wanted the pieces to be silent but quite gothic, not too loud or obnoxious...the dark, victorian frames will help get that theme across. So far it looks as though everythin is goin pretty well with all the cats on the show so i'm extremely excited for this upcoming busy April month. I have a couple more in progress so hopefully soon I can get those up here.

New Graphic project for illustration class
I am starting on my illustration project called The Dead Boys.
The Dead Boys is a illustrative compilation I have created that tells a narrative of three men who've grown up together in the same dead-end town. The city and the people are all fake and it is somewhat up to the viewer to determine his/her own story of what these characters are all about. Overall, I am conveying through graphic colors and illustration a story of lives told through cigarette smoke and chlorine street lights. The pieces convey will convey a vulgarity through boredom, routine, and hopelessness in this dead-end town.
These pieces are a way for me to express my feelings on Fort Wayne, to be stuck in a city since you were born only to see the same faces, scenery, and situations every single day. The Dead Boys is a story of 3 men that God has forgotten about.
Here is my first one so far...keep in mind the characters will have names to complete the narrative feel.
I started out with the illustration:
Then I started fuckin with it digitally and came out with a real nice graphic feel, especially with the finished logo.
Different colors?
Tell me what you think!!!
