Book Ideas

I have three book ideas so far.

Paris
- Recounting my experiences and/or painting sessions in Paris, France.

Short Stories
- I enjoy writing very brief "short stories" about random thoughts and situations I create.

People I've met
- I tend to meet an array of interesting people from time to time. This is what I thinking I'm going to take further as my book project. I can think of many people to incorporate (names not disclosed of course) and create photoshopped images into the layout.

Examples:

Fine Arts Work

Intensity of Ten Thousand
Acrylic on Canvas, 2007

Digital Imaging Tryptich


Amarillo
Digital Prints and Mixed Media, 2007

Quoting myself

"My digital imaging experience has been through the introductory course and exploration into the medium on my own time and interest. I favor photo-manipulation and strive to use the digital techniques to further my examination into the more traditional fine art tactics. In this class I hope to extend my knowledge of programs in the Creative Suite 3 and push my ideas to reach their full potential." -Cody, Senior Fine Arts Major 2008
