 - poster made using a palette of 5 colors (+b&w), incorporating a selfie, and a message in a 3-tier style Inspired by my love for the Joker, this project idea of having half of my face appear to be in clown makeup came to me randomly one night and I knew I had to make it awesome. This is without a doubt one of my favorite pieces I've ever created. The color palette was chosen to reflect bright, circus-like colors. 

  Calligram- self portrait made entirely out of words describing or relating to myself The calligram was inspired by the letter below. It was a long process, and while some of it is slightly creepy, I have to say I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.

  Final Canvas Project...based on the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg featured on the book cover of the Great Gatsby This project was NOT EASY!!! but, when all was done I honestly really enjoyed it and I feel like I learned so much. It was not perfect at all, but the creative process was really fun and there are some elements that I really liked in the end (the gradients of the sky and the city skyline in particular).
