In total, I used about 6 images (4 within creating my pattern and 2 for the composite.) I’d say my inspiration for this project was my love for skateboarding and wanting to bring a sort of crazy Jack*ss element to life. I’m also a cat dad so i used a few cat photos within my pattern (W cat dad :p) and chose a specific gradient map color I felt popped.

Denver International Airport’s newest mural

As a skater, I had a lot of fun making this. I initially wanted to title it as latest Thrasher mag but I thought of all the insane murals at Denver’s airport. i got rid of the original horizon to throw in one that i felt helped make the skater stand out better.

For my abstract composition, I used the rectangle tool and toyed around with stroke, opacity, edges and duplicating shapes. My inspo for this piece were my older brothers and me. I feel like it captures our relatability to one another pretty well.
