Digital Artwork

Some of my more time intensive Adobe Illustrator work. (Plus, see my Adobe Photoshop and Pagemaker How-To Guide (400KB) from my high school publication days. It goes over the basic functionalities in Photoshop 7.0)

Glasswork

Glass fusion and glass blowing class at Hot Soup Glass Studio (since closed):

Printmaking

I stick to the simple stuff: carving linoleum blocks, and printing whatever I can find around the apartment. (I need to take better photos of these, plus add some ongoing projects to this section...)
