act I

too much forethought is effectively destructive.
fluidity, consistency, what are these things?
how have i shaped them with my own hands, unaware and faltering?
the ebb and flow of each predetermined 'no' served only
as an imitation of the genuine likeness.

takes one to

so in order to keep up and in with our increasingly technological era, i've been learning Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign. in college, i foolishly saw graphic design as a very black and white thing; maybe i was surrounded by too many people creating their 'artwork' solely through use of filters and clone tools, etc..
i was only familiar with the bare minimum as a tool for creating transparencys for silkscreen, and even then did the majority of my transparencys by hand (including the one's for my thesis- intense. also, will have pictures/info regarding that soon).
anywayys, here's my first attempts at photoshop, kind of a self-portrait. although, besides the hair, the facial features aren't an accurate likeness. but can ya dig?
