Last month I made a fairly extensive portfolio update after finishing up some great work at Sothebys.com including their newly designed contemporary art department pages which feature an article posting tool.

I made a trip to Costa Rica for my 30th (very interesting country). But the most inspiring and exciting work for me is close to being finished. We have all the songs mostly completed and are planning to self release the album "Green Streets" in October. I was working with full screen video loops of my favorite muse Jasmin, so here is a sneak peak of whats coming. Click to See/Hear/Taste!

I had a great time DJing and traveling in Europe. I shot some pictures of Jasmine in Amsterdam that you can check out in my photography section.

Introduction to Illustrator
Instructor: Katy Walker
Location: Digital Media Lab
First three Saturdays of the month 11-2pm
$180 members/ $225 non-members


Abobe Illustrator can be used for many different creative projects. Whether creating graphics for the web or high-resolution images for business cards, t-shirt designs, cd covers or posters, Illustrator is the program to use. You can scan in your black and white drawings, or import photographs to be enhanced in Illustrator and worked further in Photoshop. You can use Photoshop to edit photos, then bounce back and forth between the programs, placing images into Illustrator and cutting and pasting artwork from Illustrator into Photoshop. In this 3-session course, you will learn all of the basics of the application. Using the drawing and reshaping tools will be covered along with, combining objects, applying color, fill and strokes, and adding type. You will also explore the different ways to prepare files for printing and the importance of understanding the difference between print and screen resolution, (vector verses raster bitmap images). Each student will design one project in this class. It can be a logo, business card, cd/dvd cover, t-shirt design, or other project. Although no prior experience is necessary, this class is designed as a follow up to the Photoshop Intensive.
