Sheridan BAA Illustrators in Applied Arts

The August issue of Applied Arts magazine features an article covering the 2009 Sheridan BAA Grad Show

as well as the work of the graduating artists (including myself). If you happen to find yourself in Chapters

(or any other bookstore) be sure to check it out.

Maya Challenger

What started out as modelling practice has turned into a little pet project, a 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT in Maya.

The body has come along great; once the headlights are finished it will be time to move onto the interior.

Website Redesign

In an effort to give my site better structure and make it easier to update I turned to Lynda.com and found James

Williamson's tutorial, "Dreamweaver CSS with CS3 Essential Training". If you're new to Dreamweaver or CSS

this is a great tutorial for starting out and learning the basics!

Viewpoint Mobility Phantom Drawing

What I enjoyed most about creating this drawing was the challenge of integrating seated figures into the

phantom drawing of the van. This was something I had not tried previously, so it was exciting to see how it

developed from stage to stage. A couple other variations can be seen in the Technical Illustration section.

Thesis Projects

The semester has come to a close and fortunately both my year long projects have been completed on time.

For scientific illustration, I took an "illustrative" look at colony collapse disorder and the importance of honey-

bees. For technical illustration, I focused on the growing concern over drastically declining freshwater supplies

and how desalination technology could be the key to future water security. A lot of research and hard work

went into both projects, and my goal of creating a CCD website still stands. Hopefully more updates will be

posted in the future.
