On Wednesday night I listened to maNOIRpulators. This was a great show and I was blown away by how good the sound effects were the entire show. The rainstorm and windshield wipers that opened up the show made for a great entrance and drew me in. The footprints were also spot on and I was … Continue reading maNOIRpulators Review →

This evening I got to listen to Noir not the father and Noirtalk. These were really good shows. I truly enjoyed Noir not the father. Some of the remarks were funny. You had to pay attention to catch them. The ending to Noirtalk was different. Because it ended so abruptly, I figured it was just … Continue reading Radio shows 3/12/15 →

I really liked how in the beginning of their radio show they explained how the show normally works for first time viewers! Very clever, and helped the audience stay clued in. The characters were very strong and I loved Damon’s insecurity and Layla’s sauciness! Even MB got in on the action. The best thing about […]

This daily create was to abstract sketch of your favorite moment of the week. With all those snow days, I was able to spend time with my daughter. There were many favorite moments, from teaching her how to play card games like War, to playing “I Love the 80’s” board game. So in general, I … Continue reading Your favourite moment in the past week →

For my final collaborative character assignment I chose to create A Story in Alphabet (worth 2 stars).  The assignment includes creating a story (that makes sense, if possible) with each sentence using the next letter of the alphabet…ex: A cat jumped…But he fell…Cats are clumsy…etc. I once again chose Victoire Absinthe to be the inspiration of … Read More

  My other daily create I’ve completed is the different sides of yourself Daily Create. My friend is an aspiring photographer, so one snow day we were bored so she gave me a mo hawk and did a photo shoot. The other one, the same friend and I were bored so we went to the … Continue reading Schizophrenic… Sorta →

So for my first daily create this week I chose to show the different sides of myself. I had all of these pictures on my instagram so I just screenshotted them on my phone to have them for the collage. I put the pictures together using PIc Stitch (an app for iPhones).  As for the … Read More

Typically with all of the work I have done so far, I would say that I did not search through others’ work for inspiration. Rather, I came up with everything on my own. But there are a few posts that … Continue reading →

So for this design assignment, I had to create a Children’s Book Cover (worth 3 stars).  Spencer Scott’s character, Donnie Rawlen is an established writer so I thought this would be the perfect way to incorporate him with Lawrence.  The assignment was to create a children’s book cover using primarily cutting and pasting. I downloaded a paint … Read More

So for my second assignment involving my character and another character this week, I chose Me and Bae (worth 2.5 stars). The description of this assignment was to find a picture of a celebrity couple, crop out their faces and place the faces of “you and bae” into the picture and then write a description of … Read More

I absolutely loved this show. It was very well organized and had an interesting plot to it, especially with the whole mystery of what had happened to Sasha Kellogg. Being the creator of Sebastian Crane, I was extremely pleased with … Continue reading →

For the daily create for Wednesday, we were supposed to create a picture of what was the best memory from this week. My 21st birthday happened Tuesday. I didn’t really celebrate on the actual day because of a midterm I had to take and a play I had to go to in DC for the...

Over spring break I was fortunate enough to visit my favorite museum, The Franklin Institute, to see the Art of the Brick exhibit. This show features the artist Nathan Sawaya who uses Lego pieces to create/recreate pieces of art. It was incredible, and anyone who frequents museums knows that at traveling exhibitions they do not […]

  So for the highlight of my week, I chose to do something that daily lights up my day. Coffee. I wanted to sketch a bunch of gift cards but I couldn’t decide how to creatively do it. So I decided on coffee. I used Paint to create this….. unique cup of coffee. I used … Continue reading Coffee Break →

I listened to D&D on Tusedays show. I liked how each person introduced their characters at the beginning of the show. I also liked how the music went along with the overall theme of the show. I don’t really understand where their noir characters fit in with the show though. It was all a little…

Today I started making paint samples for Lady Widnermere. It was so nice getting back into scene painting. I started by color matching two different varieties of cream that Niffer was looking at. Bellow you can see the process I went through with some short narrative to accompany the pictures.  I began the process of color…

  It was about time I made a Groom poster and I have to say, I think it is beautiful. Kim Roehl and I collaborated to create this Titanic poster, featuring Sebastian Crane as Cal, Groom as Jack, and the … Continue reading →

This daily create was to show the different sides of me. I used publisher to do this collage because I did not have access to photoshop when I was doing this. I picked several pictures of myself and cropped them together. One is from when I was 3 and all sweet and innocent, mashed with … Continue reading My Different Sides →

This week we were asked to look over our fellow students’ work and write a SEPARATE blog post about each, DETAILING why they “inspire” us, and submit them to the ds106 Inspire Site. Well first of all, you can’t assign inspiration, you can’t force inspiration, and you can’t grade inspiration. So of course the “inspire site” is full of all… Read more →

I used photoshop to create this composite self portrait. Read more →

I decided to create an animated TXT GIF (worth 3 stars) for my first collaborative character assignment this week. The assignment entailed creating a GIF that shows two contradicting thoughts in 2 or more frames which I think mine does exactly that. I chose Megan Rosengrant’s Victoire Absinthe as the collaborative character for this first assignment because … Read More

Inspire Website Link The Fifty Shades of Hallmark post by Janelle was really humorous and fantastic. Even being a fan of the movie and the book series, as I am, I still found this quite enjoyable and was laughing the entire time.  I didn’t realize how someone could take audio from a movie trailer or … Read More

Inspire Website Link This Daily Create by Emily really moved me emotionally because I, too, have recently gone through a bad break up. Emily basically wrote down the feelings that I can’t gather into words and put them into a picture with a description. She inspired me to really open up and use my feelings … Read More

First off here is the link to my post on the Inspire Website I chose Spencer’s Photo Safari as one of my “Inspires” because I love photography and the photos that Spencer took of downtown Fredericksburg are awesome.  I love how he used the black and white aspect of photography to really embrace the noir … Read More

“House of Noir” I really enjoyed listening to this show.  There was just the right amount of drama and “fan-girling” for my taste and it was nicely done!  Whoever voiced the fan-girl did a really nice job…I really got the feel of a girl who is desperately in love with someone she has no chance … Read More

* I would first like to say that on the Inspire website, it didn’t show the stuff that I wrote about each of the four that I chose so I will reiterate what I said in my blog posts.* So for my first “Inspired” post for this week I chose Landon’s Ruins.  This was actually … Read More
