Sophie Griotto is an extremely talented graphic artist. She uses an array of light cool colors along with a variety of soft images to create a relaxing atmosphere within her work.The majority of her
art is relatively simple with a focus on minimalism. Below is a link to her website which shows all her artwork as well as contact info. The work I produced below is an attempt to harness some of Sophie's characteristics. http://sophiegriotto.portfoliobox.fr/life-style?image#21

This piece was created by using a couple different brushes I found online while also incorporating some simple textures and black and white photographs.

This piece was created using an array chopped textures which have been re arranged to create a geometric effect. the facial features were extracted from a black and white photo using the magic wand. Outer glow effects as well as stroke effects have been added to further exemplify the outlines of the eyes and mouth.

Run The Jewels is a hip hop duo featuring producer and rapper El-P as well as Atlanta based rapper Killer Mike. Their use of word play as well as their hard hitting messages create an almost irresistible sound. Above is a link to their song "Run The Jewels" which is currently their biggest hit.

Thinking in Textures (not the chet faker album)

In all three of these Photoshop pieces I chose to incorporate one or more textures. I then reduced the opacity and used filters to re create the images.

Sessions

Earlier this week I had an awesome skate session at the old highschool. I took this image and decide to manipulate it a little using Photoshop.

Just Because

A very simple photoshop edit using a couple layers, a texture as well as utilizing the gradients tool.

The state of dreaming

              In the least, dreams are bizarre. Theorists have been attempting to identify the nature of these altered states of consciousness for years although no one has had any valid idea of why or how dreams occur. Some people believe that dreams are an individuals way of working through problems in their personal life. Others believe that they are just as real as being "awake" is. I personally believe dreams are just small collages or representations of everything we've observed synthesized into multiple realms we create within a dream state. After we create these boiled down scenarios of past memories we use our own problem solving abilities, or those of others we've previously witnessed to work through scenarios that we've created in our unique dream. In a way these scenarios are just as real as our everyday life.
