Resume

This is an updated version of my resume. It demonstrates my creative and technical skill. The information provided allows the potential employer to get to know me a little better.

The images, ladders, are a representation of the field of work I hope to go into. Making my resume more position and company focused.

"Promise" Logo

"Promise” Logo is a creation that reflects me. It contains me favorite color green and mixes with a very pale yellow. The featured object is a hand crossing its fingers with the word “Promise” blended in with the outline on one of the crossing fingers. I chose the word promise to focus on because in my mind it means honesty, trust, reliance, and loyalty; all of which are extremely important values in my life. When deciding on where to place “promise” I merged it within the crossing fingers to help intensify the meaning. One thing that I would change is the black outline font, it didn’t allow for the corrections that I wanted to accomplish. Only some of the lines run completely smooth like was intended.

Meeko Sketch

This is a sketch of Meeko, from the Disney movie Pocahontas. Everything was done on a computer using a Wacom Tablet. The Wacom Tablet allowed me to draw with a pen, but everything was transferred onto the computer. While I was drawing I was able to look at a picture of the scene and go from there. Using the tablet was an interesting experience and hard to coordinate my movements to make my sketch turn out as planned. Although it did let me make any easy alterations that I wanted. One of my favorite differences is how intense he looks, in my sketch his facial expression is more focused. The final outcome looks extremely close to the actual scene and I am proud of it.

Architectural Detail Sketch

This sketch is a close up of a “door knocker.” My goal was to make the item standout on a dark background. Color pencil was the perfect media for this project. The colors chosen are from my high school “Shorecrest High School,” the paper color is a darker green. I used yellow as the main fixture color and the white for detailing.

Leaf Variety Sketch

Leaf Variety Sketch" is a random assortment that uses a variety of drawing methods to help show each leaf's originality. This particular view is a section of a larger picture. It was chosen purposely because it shows the most detail and does the best job of drawing the eye.

This sketch is one of my earlier pieces and reflects only a few of the drawing techniques that I have acquired. However I put this in my portfolio because it gives a general idea of where I started and keeps reality in mind . . . skill takes time to develop.

Mountain "Scene" Sketch

Mountain “Scene” Sketch is one of my favorite pieces. It was spontaneous and followed its own guidelines. It reflects a few of my loves in life, nature and creativity. An artistic feature that I like is the balance of color throughout the whole scene. The simplicity of the sketch makes the message all the more important and direct.

When I look at it, I wish I could stand among those mountains surrounded in my own world. This sketch reminds me of reality, everything doesn’t need to be complicated, just take a breath and immerse yourself in your own world. This is my getaway . . .

"Unrecognizable" Quilt Pattern

“Unrecognizable” Quilt Pattern was a fun and intriguing project. It is a design of many different pictures pieced together to become a decorative quilt. There is a catch, each picture put into place in this creative puzzle used to be something completely different. If you look closely you may be able to tell what the picture began as, I highly doubt that however. One picture used to be a waterfall and rocks, another a forest and another a galaxy. The title is Unrecognizable; see if you can figure out what each was originally.

Heritage Textile Pattern

Heritage Textile Pattern is a creation I put together to help illustrate where I came from. A lot of time, research and emotion went into making this project. To help explain the final design to new comers, I am mostly German. The color red, black and yellow are those of the German flag. In the center sits my family crest with our motto slightly lower and to the right; “Virtus Semper Virdis” which means “virtue is always flourishing.” In the four corners is the Neuschwanstein Castle, the castle that Cinderella’s Castle was designed from. Finally in the very back are a few strands of barbed wire, a connection to my Jewish ancestry. It may not be the brightest past with the best memories but its still part of my past that needs to be recognized. I am very proud of my project and my past.

Keys Sketch

“Key Sketch” does a good job of showing the improvement of my art skills. When compared to “Leaf Variety Sketch” it is obvious which sketch was done earlier. I am very proud of this sketch because it shows several developed skills such as texture, proportion, shading, proper angle and item accuracy. Concurrently this is my key chain, which adds a sense of me to the sketch. The objects on the keychain do the best job of reflecting its owner in the art, therefore the accuracy or inaccuracy is the most important aspect.
