CONNECT FOUR!

My first thought when thinking of the concept of connection goes to the board game Connect Four! with the checkers that are dropped into a grid.  The idea of creating a unified set of chips dropped into a sequence is one way of creating a connection.  The pieces that win the game are configured into a sequence of at least four in the same color.  A family of sorts.  Connection also makes me think of friends or family, such as a personal connection.  A family of black or red chips and a family of people, they both have a similar, but unique connection.

Just a Tid-Bit

At Comikaze this weekend, I happen to come a crossed the Star Wars Oragami Book and thought I'd share.  This is also how I help myself to remember things, is to pass on my finds.  There was a booth doing demos, totally awesome.  BUT not as awesome as the Star Wars pop-up book.

Bon Appetit!

My portfolio is strongly whimsical content, this is just a selection of some of my top picks.  I absolutely love using Corel Painter to create work, but enjoy utilizing Photoshop and Illustrator because they are both amazing programs that I always find something new to learn about.  Not to mention there is a lot less clean up when you get to paint on a computer.
