Rhino-con

Here is my completed Rhino logo with basketball. I sketched it with pencil first. I than scanned my sketch and took it into Adobe Illustrator. I learned this variable line weight style from Keun. I think it really adds character to the Illustration. When I finished the Rhino...it seemed a little bare, so I added the basketball. What do you think?

Bring your child to work day

Christopher came to work with me today, on "Bring your child to work day." I work at the Defense Information School, where I teach Joint Service members in the Basic Multimedia Illustration Course. We got there early and had breakfast. I introduced him to everyone, Senior Chief tried to get him to join the Navy. I showed him the different classrooms and the students Artwork. I was busy all day grading students projects. Chris played around on Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator practicing his skills. We went to lunch at the BX and did a little shopping. LT offered Chris a "summer Internship" to attend classes in Functional Area 1....I hope he takes advantage of this, it's a great opportunity...but who knows what his Mom wants him to do this summer. Overall we had a great day , and I was very proud to introduce him to my coworkers. I think he had fun too.

Rhino Sketch

My Friends have been calling me the Rhino for years. I earned the nickname on the basketball court after my friends noticed my one move of charging straight ahead to the hoop, head down, elbows swinging liberally. OK, so the Rhino is not known for his finesse...I knew they were teasing me. After awhile I started taking pride in my new totem. Rhino is slow, but strong and when they charge...people have to get out of the way. Rhino can be taken down...but its not easy. And the Rhino won't stop, Ever. Not overly intelligent it makes up for its lack of brain power with brawn and perseverance. I also noticed this nickname was appropriate for my aggressive poker style. A connoisseur of fine nicknames I recognize a good moniker when I hear it. I am Rhino!

This blog will be solely dedicated to my sketchs, illustrations, graphics, and art. I have been drawing, and working in graphics for over twenty years. I'm definately not the best, but I really enjoy the creative process. When I look at this portfolio...I can say I did that. Welcome to Rhinosphere! Where my dreams come alive!
