    Zuma Beach
    Saturday evening, I have a bit of spare time and I was in the mood for some painting. Kami and I went down to Hobby Lobby and picked up a canvas and supplies. I them painted this picture of Zuma Beach (Malibu). I think it turned out pretty good. The ocean certainly needs a little work but the colors are a lot more accurate than the last time I did a painting. Anyway, enjoy!

    So I’ve started art school this week. I am taking some of my classes at the Art Institute in Draper (I know, long commute) and the remainder will be taken online. This is my first assignment in my Drawing Perspective class. I had to create a few blind contour drawings of my non-drawing hand (this is my right hand, just so you know). The aren’t pretty, but you’re not allowed to look at your work while you’re drawing, just your hand. Enjoy!

  • Smoot - Postcard 2009
    Recently, I’ve been working with Smoot Real Estate to develop a few new marketing products for them. One product is a postcard they will be using to mail out to potential clients. The postcards are designed for both 5.5×8.5 and 4×6. The cards are easy to interchange with a different home and data, but the main look and concept will remain the same.

  • KN Essig - Blog
    So Kami and I have our own family blog running. I’m sure you’re all shocked as to why I haven’t updated the template on the blog before now, but I finally got around to it over the weekend. I’m pretty sure it says “Kami” all over it. Anyway, let me know what you think! Enjoy!

  • Logan Soccer - Website 2009
    This week, I created and published a new website called “Logan Soccer”. The website hosts information on upcoming leagues, tournaments and camps for soccer players of all ages in the Logan area. The site will also help to keep everyone updated on information regarding the status of the Ultimate Sports Arena. It will also be the portal for the Logan 6v6 Classic tournament. Enjoy!

  • Kim Phipps - Website 2009
    I have finally completed work on a website for Kim Phipps. Kim Phipps is a real estate agent based in Logan, Utah. Her website is www.kimphippshomes.com. I registered her website, set up hosting, designed the site, and posted it online. The website runs on Wordpress software, which is free! Using wordpress, she can update her listings, write a blog, and post her own information online. The site is easy to maintain and requires almost no coding experience to manage. Enjoy!

    I’ve been doing some clean-up work in my files and I ran across this picture. I took this picture about 2 years ago with a mediocre camera on my way to work one afternoon. I think it turned out quite good. Enjoy!

  • Against A Brick Wall 700
    I know, I know. I have already posted this one. I actually did this piece back in December 2004, so its been a while, and most of you have probably not even seen it. Anyway, the reason I am reposting this one is because I am attaching a 1920 x 1080 download of the artwork, for your wallpapering pleasure. Enjoy!
