Projects from Fall Semester 2009

Here is a video of my dorm room for this year. The ceilings are high, Home Depot is close, and I like to build things, so....



More to come on this project; it's definitely one of my favorites. The whole room has evolved quite a bit since the pictures in the video were taken during the first month of school.

FALL SEMESTER ART: Portfolio for my Scripps class. Theme: Layering and Spray


Mostly paint, a little spray, and several layers. I think I changed my mind over 10 times on what I wanted to do with this.


It's me, thinking. sprayed and painted.



SNOWBOARD!!! I took my old snowboard, sanded it down (not fun at all), applied primer, painted, splattered, and sprayed it. I put several layers of gloss finish over the board. I still need to strap in my bindings and head to Mt High with this one.


This one is for my cousin Mariko, but it is still unfinished. I am going to finish it this semester, after I finish my other pieces.


Stacy, my sister, took this picture when I was back at the house to paint. Much better than being stuck in the studio at Scripps. I'll post the others when I find the pictures.

Random "Art" Projects

I was cleaning up my files and came across a lot of random art stuff I did. Thought I would just have one big post about a bunch of the random works I did this past academic year. Nothing special, just wanted to archive some of my hoodie designs and paintings:

Canvas Work (Paint):




Clothing Designs:

One of the old hoodies I made. I wish I still had some pictures of the dozens of hoodies I sold, I thought some of them were really cool.

The inside of Noel's hoodie (two layer spray)












Shirt I made for KD



The only low-quality, photo of the new, and unfinished, Spray Drop Hoodie designs. My initials "KTY" make random appearances on the back.
This is one of a series of hoodie designs based on a character I came up with. I have a few of these designs on a layout, but I got too lazy to print them, and I could never decide on the background pattern to lay this on.

Miscellaneous:

The first real picture I took of my car


40 of the 60 records that I spray painted and did some splatter trails on for my room.

The black light bar in my room. I filled four of the larger clear handles with various UV reactive fluid to make the bar glow green, yellow, and blue with the black light I put behind the bar.

Graffitti Art - Canvas Work

So, I enjoy art, but I have never taken any classes or done anything formal... I just dabble.

Here is my first big stencil piece ever done for a "client"... or just Kelly and Noel's mom. Anyways, she bought me these HUGE blank canvas and told me to do a family portrait. This thing took me almost all of winter break 2007-2008 to finish.



Here are some project stats -
74 hours of cutting,
39 layers of greyscale
26 hours of spraying
with 36 Cans of spray
