Salt And Light

in all our graceful words
without love
they're just a burden from our tongues
the taste remains and without faith
we're still and arms length away
but somehow we're burning brighter
you'll never be more beautiful than today
whole-hearted we're open
our madness silent
cause we know when you come
you come in love

cause love is all we need
i came here with nothing
but i left with everything
and all the truth you bring
still i came here with nothing
but I left with everything

to be honest
we're older
and life makes us stand in disbelief
are you who you want to be
i've learned that its ok
to be broken at your feet
and its where i wanna be

cause love is all we need
i came here with nothing
but i left with everything
and all the truth you bring
still i came here with nothing
but I left with everything

your faith is only as strong as the words you speak..so speak

Savannah: A Map of Perceptions


This is a project that I just turned in for my Graphics for Building Arts class. The idea was to convey entry, path, and place in Savannah through a series of maps and renderings.

The first one highlights places of entry in my journey to Savannah.












This one shows cultural and recreational places













This one shows recreational, cultural, and historical path.













And this is a more detailed show of a place.

My Crazy Life

Due to the craziness that has taken over my life already this quarter I haven't been updating very often. So... here is a quick update on whats been happening recently.
God has definitely been blessing my life so far this quarter. He has given me several incredible opportunities with my work. My 2D professor from my first quarter at SCAD contacted me this last week to say that I was chosen to have my poster design showcased at a local coffee shop during the month of May :) And this same poster has been accepted into the SCAD honors show which is such a great opportunity. Needless to say it has been one insane weekend between photographing, printing, filling out entry forms, and doing class projects.
My graphics for building arts class (the 5 1/2 hour one) is keeping me busy as well. The first assignment was 30 sketches over the course of three days... yikes. I will try to upload some pictures from that if things ever slow down a bit :) Anyways, I am enjoying that class immensely despite the work load.
I am sure there is more that I am leaving out, but thats pretty much my weekend in a nutshell. Hopefully I will have time in the next week to post some pics of what has been happening!
