It may not be the most common time of year for someone to visit Alabama, but this was the time of year that fit Bailey and me the most. We were definitely surprised in a lot of ways with what the state had to offer and as you might expect, I took a few photographs of the experience. Here’s the story.

One of my favorite programs to watch is The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. A few years ago I came across the Bob Ross Twitch channel where they stream The Joy of Painting non-stop all weekend long, every weekend. I would watch it whenever I was home and during the weekdays, I would just watch the full-length episodes on YouTube. I’ve wanted to give the painting method that Bob taught so many people a shot, but haven’t had the chance yet. So, I went with the next best thing, I tried it digitally…sort of. Using my iPad, I made this.

This artwork stems from my love of Halloween and Horror. It’s a design that began with what used to formerly be my logo when I first graduated college with my degree in Graphic Design | Media Arts. Over the years, I have since updated my logo in an effort to fit my wide array of works, but still love my old logo, so I repurposed it. It was around the time of the first It movie release that I decided to use the Pennywise face paint as inspiration, mostly the smile. Since then, this design has certainly been one of my favorites and I’ve added it to a lot of products now available in my online store.

Kenisee Lake is an RV campground in Jefferson, Ohio. Jefferson is in northeast Ohio just an hour east of Cleveland, Ohio, and an hour southwest of Erie, Pennsylvania. Liam and Bailey spent a couple of weeks at this campground during the autumn season of 2022. This is the photo gallery from that time spent there.

Burlington, Vermont is a city in northern Vermont, not far from the border of Canada and the United States. The city sits on Lake Champlain which is a huge body of water by lake standards. Across the water is the state of New York and the Adirondack Mountains. This photo gallery features photographs from my first visit to this unique city.

The Damned is a book written by Algernon Blackwood back in 1914. Blackwood was a well-respected and well-known horror story writer of his time. The book is in the open-source age of its life, so I decided to create a cover design as a school project while working towards my degree. Book cover design is something that I would love to get more work in.

Immortal Phalcon was my gaming brand for a few years. It’s no secret that a few years ago, video game content creators began proving that they’re capable of making money with gaming. Not just your average money, but good money. Well, I decided to give it a try. While I was better at the marketing and design materials to this venture than the actual gaming content, I still am proud of the work I did with Immortal Phalcon.

While in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, I purchased a stuffed moose. One day while in our RV, I had the urge to draw something using my iPad and the stuffed moose was sitting on the table next to me. I took a look and just began to draw. What came from it was unexpected. This character illustration turned out to be very cute and only the beginning of my illustrations.

I met Dr. Kevin Miller at a health products conference in Des Moines, Iowa. After telling him what I do, he asked if I would be interested in helping him with his social media management. In February of 2022 I began working on E.P. True Chiropractic’s social media. My purpose is to help gain exposure and draw in potential leads. I do so with attractive imagery and control over the SEO capabilities allowed through Facebook and Instagram.

When I moved to Omaha, I began working for a Real Estate Agent who just had his license reinstated. I was tasked with helping him and his real estate group gain traction and recognition within the Omaha community once again. I designed sold cards to mail out, new listing notices, website SEO, and other miscellaneous marketing projects.

After traveling through Sioux Falls, South Dakota—on my way to other destinations—I finally got to stop, stay, and explore this awesome little city in June of 2019. I was able to experience a lot of what this city has to offer in just one weekend!

After living across the street for nearly a year, Bailey and I finally took Maxwell the Golden Doodle to the OPPD Arboretum. It came at the perfect time, however, Maxwell was getting a little stir-crazy being indoors all the time. He had an absolute blast and so did Bailey and I.

June 1, 2018, the city of Omaha held a festival showcasing everything the city has to offer. The event had tents for vendors, tents for local businesses, rides, food, games, live music, performers, and more.

June of 2018 was my first official trip to Des Moines, Iowa. While there, I was able to gain some knowledge via the State Historical Museum of Iowa, get some amazing pictures while at Gray’s Lake and at the HyVee just across the street from the Des Moines Airport, and eat some pretty good food.
