You might not think so, but simplifying takes a long time.

I recently did a drawing to be used as a watermark for my stepdad's retirement party invitation. Now, I use the word "drawing" loosely, since I relied heavily on a photo to produce this image quickly and accurately; I outright traced over large areas, then went back in to pull out highlights and add detail. The result:



Hello there, USS Harry S. Truman. A Nimitz-class carrier was chosen because my stepdad has worked on every Nimitz-class carrier to be built by the Newport News Shipbuilding Company.

One for Jordan, and one for me.

Pai Sho Flower Tiles

One of the kids in the programming course here is making a Pai Sho game for his project. One of the other instructors and I got coerced into making his tiles, so here are the flowers. Left to right: white jade, jasmine, rose, rhododendron, and chrysanthemum.

I wish I had named it "Oh Snap."

Please enjoy my hobby photo blog, ceevee photo. It's a lot of old stuff right now, but it's pretty much going to be an album.

Saturday is a good day for cute desktops.

Making cute vector art is very therapeutic. This image was created to show as a demo for my graphic design class two weeks ago. Teaching thirteen-year-olds how to use Illustrator is challenging. It's kind of, "Yeah, brush tool!" and "Pen tool is too hard!" I was a tyrant and banned them from using their tablets for an entire morning, and I was rewarded with many groans of frustration.

Logo time, again.

This one'll serve as part of a sample project for camp training this weekend. The "business" is a fashion photography studio. As usual, I began complicated (35mm film) and ended simply (red&black).





It reproduces well small, which makes me a happy camper.
