Summer 2011 so far

Quite a few things have happened since I've posted on here last. Some of the more notable events include:

-Graduating from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit
-Working on three sets for the Motion Picture "The Citizen" (Including the mural of the Manhattan & Brooklyn Bridges below)
-& Art Directing the music festival "The Blastoff" (the two other shots are from the fest)

Starting tomorrow I will be leaving to art direct the Forest Stage and surrounding area of the Sherwood Forest at the Electric Forest Music Festival.

Once I return from Rothbury I will be busy preparing for my solo gallery exhibition at the Start Gallery in the heart of Detroit.

Life is good.
