Part 1:

Bill Kennedy:

Bill’s work is mainly him doing research. He starts with photos, then he decomposes them using Photoshop. He uses inkjet for work, but a variety of papers when printing. He likes to experiment with his pictures, and takes long periods of time on work, but sometimes he throws it away. Bill’s work is awesome. You can tell he spent loads of time on his pictures, and he mentioned that even if he tried to, he couldn’t recreate his images.

Hollis Hammonds:

Hollis sketches a lot in her work. She likes doing work with storms and patterns and draws very detailed collages of what looks like apocalyptic or post storm aftermaths (dystopian almost). She goes back and forth from sculptures (which can take several hours) to detailed drawings. Her work can either be small or very big. I admire the amount of time spent on her works, as they are amazing. I would love to see the process of her working in the studio.

Alex Robinson:

Her work is based on how we perceive things. They are based on her life experiences and as a variety of art: drawings, prints, paintings, mappings, etc. She also has work in which she discovers her old work and starts working on it again. I love the sense of simplicity her work gives off. You know that it wasn’t simple to create, but you can’t help but feel inspired to start sketching and see where it goes.

Tammie Rubin:

Tammie focuses on balance between the known and the unknown. She prefers 3D work over 2D work, and she likes taking things that exist and things that don’t exist and making art out of it. She wants people to have the desire to touch her work. Some of her work requires you to come closer to it, but when you do, you still can’t touch it. I loved Tammie’s presentation. When I saw her artworks, I felt like I needed to touch it, even though it was projected on a screen.

Joe Vitone:

His photographs are all black and white. All of the photographs are of people, mainly of ranchers. You can assume the lifestyles of people in his photos. He likes to capture photos of people and for the audience to experiment what might their lifestyle may be. I couldn’t help but think of the Little House on the Prairie when I saw Joe’s photos of the ranchers. It made me think of an old western movie because he only uses black and white images.

My Five Year Plan

Year 1: Start to work on projects, possibly begin making a small game. Get a job that can fund my projects, and buy a car so my life is a little easier.

Year 2: Once I’m confident enough in my skills, I’ll start applying for a position at EA.

Year 3: If I get the job at EA, I will spend my time developing more skills while on the job, and try working my way up. If I don’t get it, I’ll be working on more projects and still develop key skills needed for the game industry and apply again.

Year 4: Hopefully by this point I will be working in the game industry, most likely a QA Tester.

Year 5: I’ll begin saving up money and try to buy my own house.
