I used to sketch alot when I was little - they were pretty good - but all my drawings got lost in a recycle bin one day so I kind of stopped after that. I've been getting into Photoshop since about 2007. Before that, I did some work with Paintshop Pro but not much really.
 Wanderstruck | Wanderstruck Just a short, simple, admittedly repetitive tune that's been stuck in my head this past week. Makes me think of traveling or exploring the world a lot, as well as the anticipation and hopes that come with it. The first half gives you the sense of the initial dream and disappointment that comes with reality; the second half is the light at the end of the tunnel.
Lots of fr... »FL Studio, East West, Maximus |
 Personal Business Card | Personal Business Card Finally made myself a business card. Decided to keep it as simple as possible and resemble my site for consistency. »Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Personal Business Card (Dark) | Personal Business Card (Dark) I really liked the design of the business cards I made for my filmmaking group, but the group has not been active for years. Decided to go ahead and use the design for myself instead. Of course the original always looks more consistent, but it works I think.
The card includes works from the rest of my film group so this is a joint work/montage. »Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Personal Business Card (Light) | Personal Business Card (Light) I also liked the lighter design of the business cards I made for my filmmaking group, which has not been active for years. Decided to also use the design for myself, probably during the holidays or when flashier glossy cards are not appropriate. The card includes works from the rest of my film group so this is a joint work/montage. »Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Darkerly Stormy | Darkerly Stormy I've been wanting to remake this song for a long time... or at least the climax of it.
The Edirol VST I used in the original Darker Stormy just wasn't strong enough for the climax to me. However, it took me a long time to find higher quality samples (mostly East West) that would match the overall sound I wanted to keep from the original.
The new song here essentially starts w... »Piano, FL Studio, East West, FabFilter, Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Feltip Leaf | Feltip Leaf Short melody I've had stuck in my head for a long time. Put it down in notes back in September 2011 but never really got around to orchestrating it much.
Only recently figured out how to play it with chords on the piano but not sure how to bring it out more (it's just the main melody with few supporting themes). The intro is also pretty boring - not sure how to improve t... »Piano, FL Studio, East West, FabFilter, Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Nightfall | Nightfall Seems like I'm getting some inspiration back. Thought of this one while sitting bored and hungry during discussion section a couple weeks back. Forgot the song for a while before I could come up with a draft of it.
It seems like a mix of "Trickling Winds" and "Raindrops". However, this deviates a lot from the style of my older songs; most obvious is the more heavy use of choirs and percus... »Piano, FL Studio, Edirol Orchestral, East West, FabFilter, Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Thousand Keyes (Piano Cover) | Thousand Keyes (Piano Cover) Just playing around with a new major/minor key I'm becoming familiar with and managed to improv my way into playing this song. It's not mine and is a cover of a song that already exists under a similar name. Thought it was nice enough to keep even though there are obvious playing "typos" (is that the word?) here and there. »Piano, FL Studio, East West, Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Canasta Club Business Card | Canasta Club Business Card A business card design for a small card-playing club I founded. The intent is for the business card to look just like the back of a regular playing card. It is designed to be printed with rounded corners. »Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Canasta Club Postcard | Canasta Club Postcard Postcard design for a small card-playing group I founded. Had a lot of fun with brushes and vector curves. »Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Canasta Club Flyer | Canasta Club Flyer Simpler flyer design for a card-playing organization. Logo was the most interesting part to make, as I wanted to make it look fancy without making the design overwhelming. »Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Lightning Umbrella | Lightning Umbrella Fun image I pieced together with a landscape shot in Alaska and an extracted person from greenscreen. Editing done in After Effects. »Adobe After Effects CS5 |
 Ememsei Media Business Card (Dark) | Ememsei Media Business Card (Dark) Business card I put together for a small filmmaking club I used to run. Too bad I made this a few years too late but it's fun seeing what you can do with old source material. »Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Ememsei Media Business Card (Dark, Back) | Ememsei Media Business Card (Dark, Back) The back of business card for a small filmmaking group I used to run. The scene is from actual film we shot. »Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Ememsei Media Business Card (Light) | Ememsei Media Business Card (Light) A lighter variation of the business card for my filmmaking group. Probably best matches the winter holidays. »Adobe Photoshop CS5 |
 Fair Maiden | Fair Maiden Entry to a contest at psoriasis-cure-now.org for the humor track.
Entry on Youtube.
Took 4 whole days to make it... Had to hand-draw everything, make the music, make the voices - first time making everything though and pretty proud of it.
Nope, that's not my real voice, but it IS me speaking. Just lots of filters added over. Music I made in FL St... »Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, Adobe After Effects CS3, Adobe Photoshop CS3 |
 Movie Week Poster | Movie Week Poster Poster created for promotion of a Movie Week event at school... Poster was done in one night, so not my best but it's pretty nice.

 Twas the Night Before Xmas Movie Poster | Twas the Night Before Xmas Movie Poster Poster created for my school's Christmas video showcase. Pictures provided by the school. Graphics and effects created solely by me in Photoshop. »Adobe Photoshop CS3 |
 Coat of Arms Design | Coat of Arms Design Creating a Coat of Arms for class... got a bit carried away.
Yes, that's a duck. The original is 4400x3300px (22"x17") but I don't think you guys need to see that. The serpentheads I took most time in and are obviously my favorite part of this image. »Adobe Illustrator CS3, Adobe Photoshop CS3 |

 CA Photo Montage | CA Photo Montage My Art teacher requested I enter Legischool's photo competition. They accepted photo montages and I was recommended to make one (all photos have to be mine of course). Received honorable mention. Photo showcased in 19th Annual Envisioning California Convention. »Adobe Photoshop CS2 |
 Landscape Design | Landscape Design Photoshop cartoon replica of a photo I took. This I created as part of an artclass assignment. The image began from nothing but a blank canvas - all of it was drawn by mouse.
Hopefully it captures the surreal essence of the original.
