Friends and coworkers have been paying me to do head swaps of their pets. While definitely not high art they are quite a bit of fun. They’re also great for showing workflow to my Photoshop students for stuff outside of the textbook.
Pet Head Swaps
BFF (Benson First Friday) Poster for April.
You’d never guess from my website but I draw and paint quite a bit in addition to all of the work up here. On a lark I submitted to a local First Friday thing and they accepted my poster. I’m pretty self conscious about my drawing/painting so I was pretty delighted when they accepted it. I made it in illustrator.
Outstanding New Media Artist 2020 - Omaha Entertainment Arts Awards
I am happy to announce I won Outstanding New Media Artist for 2020 from the OEAA (Omaha Entertainment Awards. This is my third year being nominated and second award for that category. A large group show that I had a lot of work also won an award for best group show when it ran a few years back, The Museum of Alternative History curated and organized by Tim Guthrie.
Like many in creative fields I have been blessed with very supportive parents and friends who add a lot to my practice and make it possible to continue to make work. I would also like to give a shout out to Amplify Arts for their micro grant award at the end of 2020 which I have used to pick up some new 3D software and experiment with different 3D printing resins.
