Website Wireframe

My website's black and white wireframe.

Website Concept

For my portfolio website I want to use the theme of an old abandoned carnival, something that could relate to the oddness that my artwork has. There's a lot of material to pull from for this idea, using sorts of games and attractions and re-working them to my website could turn out really cool. I want to have a grungy kind of color scheme that would give it an abandoned, worn and rusted look. I plan to use roll-over images and animated gifs to make it more interesting. 

Website organization

I want to organize my website by having a home page, a Gallery page and a Resume page. The Gallery page will be split up into 3 categories, Drawing, Photoshop and 3D rendering.

For text I decided to use a font called Bleeding Cowboys, it's grungy while at the same time elegant, I think this font has good visual appeal. The secondary font I am using is called Didot and I think it works well together with the main, the body font will be Arial, which I think has a good contrast to the other 2 fonts. 

"Winter Duel"

This work is a print from an etching I did for my printmaking class in 2007.
My process of creating this piece was that I started by sketching trying to think of an idea, I created the winged character wielding the sword first, then I created the staff of the figure on the left. Then I created the town below in my sketch and added the moon lastly. I transferred the sketch onto the surface of a the wax covered metal plate using tracing paper. Then I began scratching out the design using a sharp metal stylus. After that the plate was dipped into acid and the design was burned into the metal plate and it was ready to cover with ink and use for printing.

I enjoy printmaking very much. When I was thinking of what kind of design to do I was inspired by the change of seasons, at the time it was the end of fall and winter was beginning. The figure on the right represents the season of fall and the figure on the left represents the season of winter.
