During college, I was a member of the San Luis Early Music Consort (SLEMC). At one performance in Atascadero, CA, I was called on to dress in a period costume and dance the minuet while the chamber orchestra performed. In this photo, taken after the performance, you see (from left to right) the father of one of the violinists, the choreographer and primary performer, the wife of our oboeist, and me.

This is a monogram that I made using Photoshop in 2003.

Instructor;s comments

My best purple latte ad ever turned in!! (you get it)

This design is part of a logo that I designed for a business. It features the states of California and Nevada, with each of their capitals (Sacramento and Carson City) highlighted.

I made this logo for the model rocket and R/C aircraft club, Central Coast Aerospace Modeling Society (CCAMS), that I founded in 1996.
