“Oxford Vindaloo is a charming collision between old world and new, east and west, technology and tradition, vaudeville and academia, age and youth, eccentricity and desperate normalcy. It’s also my favorite recipe for curried shoes.”

MCTC Science Club Logo
March 12th, 2010
The Science Club at Minneapolis Community Technical College was looking for a logo that would combine three iconic science images to represent four studies of science. Symbols used are a gear for engineering, DNA helix for physical science, and an atom for chemistry and physics. The idea was to interlace the symbols within a circle. Each round symbol was created in Illustrator and then still on three separate layers brought together to rotating around the atoms center. Over lapping parts of symbols were cut away with the Illustrators paths tool. Final step was to join the three symbols into one vector shape again using the path tool.

Dance Lesson
January 25th, 2010
Sneak peek of a little horse having a dance lesson. He was created in Photoshop for a show this spring at the Open Book in Minneapolis. He will be the focus of a larger composition. I wanted to get a quick start before I begin a web development course at a local Community College. When I’m done filling my brain with HTML and coding for Flash I’ll get back to this guy. He will need a background and all of his dance instructors will have to wait a few weeks to become more then sketches.
