http://namtab.com/powerrecord/audio/supermankrypton.mp3 Does this piece still work in our media-saturated culture today? Absolutely! I completely agree that audio story’s are masterpieces. I takes a lot of work to make a story with only sound and you can picture it pretty much how you want. I believe if done right they will be heard. Even though I... Continue Reading →

I did “Your Theme Song” Audio assignment. All my music came from YouTube. I just edited 2 songs that sounded good to me and combined them together. I took out parts and lowered the sound, so it wasn’t blasting, however it’s still loud so be careful. https://soundcloud.com/user-291769883/lets-go/s-TzLSm If you want to try it yourself and...

It’s one of my favorite movies drenched in teeny angst. I found these images online and combined them on a word doc and took a screen shot of them so I didn’t have to use GIMP because my patience with the program is at its end. I also used 5 and its very helpful to …

So for the Super Tattoo assignment, I was supposed to design a tattoo that represents my superpower. This was hypothetical, but I’ll do you one better. I already DID design my super tattoo. And I spent 20+ hours under the needle for it. It’s a cherry blossom branch. It represents peace (within myself) and good. Which is …

Design is part of everything. It’s something that we see every day and don’t pay much attention to, but it’s there and it’s doing it’s job. Everything we look at is designed the way it is, to fulfill a certain purpose. Not just movies, comics and other artsy stuff, but even the way your local …

This first article I read was Strip Panel Naked: Negative … Continue reading Read/Watch Reflect!

This is a rough idea of what I thought my superhero, the Black Dahlia. I thought about the fact that she was a botanist and likely a nerdy person so I combined the Harry Potter emblem for Deathly Hallows and added instead of a wand a sprig of lavender to represent her more earthy …
