VINYL TRIP

The liner notes of John Coletrane's Infinity read: "To perceive again and this time it must be said,. for all who read to know that no matter what, it is all with god. . ." Such a spiritual statement is a perfect introduction to some of Coltrane's rich, swirling, and magical free-form music. Originally I was drawn to this lp (from my fathers collection) by it gorgeous cover art-work, but once I placed the needle to the plate I was overwhelmed by Coletrane's wandering saxophone over Alice Coletrane's lush string arrangements. I wouldn't recommend this album to a casual jazz listener, but This album's enchanting and deeply layered sound is truly amazing!

PORTRAIT PROJECT

-Sam

These are a series of Photo-shopped portraits I completed intended for a group exhibition. Before I finished the series I decided to take the project in a different direction. Although I didn't finalize the project I am very pleased with the results. *click to enlarge

TRANSFORM

This is a piece I created using a digital camera and Photoshop. It was originally going to be one of a series of artworks conveying the idea that all things on this earth are connected, no matter how different they appear to be. I'm not sure how far the project is going to go, but I'm very happy with this piece. *click to enlarge
