Genius of Water | Fountain Square Cincinnati

FountainSquare_waterInspired by a symbol of Cincinnati and the centerpiece of Fountain Square, The Genius of Water. The bold strokes of color bring highlight the raw materials used in crafting this sculpture from the bronze cast to the green granite base in which the sculpture rests.

Plastic Ants | Falling to Rise Album Design

DSC_2699

Really excited to have had the opportunity to design the latest album from Plastic Ants, titled Falling to Rise. Some of the highlights are the beautiful clouds on the gatefold-sleeve, to the crystal clear vinyl with the simple plane graphics along with the striking visual used on the front cover. While instrumental on the design for this album, to really bring it to life there was an opportunity to break out the camera and take some photos for the piece as well. Since it’s launch the album design has been getting some good press. You can read a write up by Fred Mills at Blurt magazine here.

Also had the opporunity to shoot this really cool video for the album release. 

Suspension Bridge | Acrylic on Canvas

The Little Hummingbird

This little guy was enjoying our new feeder. He’s definitely the biggest one yet, but still so small. It’s just awesome to watch how these little guys fly in every direction at lightning speed. Time to get the camera out again this evening and just post up. Hope you enjoy the shot! JJ Beautiful Humming Bird

This photo may turn into a painting one day. I haven’t done too many bird paintings over the years, but here’s one I worked on a year or so ago of a Red-Tailed Hawk, which is now on display at Seed Strategy. Stay tuned, a hummingbird painting may be in your near future.
