Just wanted to share a couple of cool pictures I shot of my friends today at a rock quarry we found a couple of hours away. They're unedited but I think I'm gonna use a couple of them for the photography summer homework. I really liked the reflections on the water and the textures of the rocks.

ON AN LESS SERIOUS-LESS ART NOTE

Ok completely changing the subject from my last post- every year my mom's company, Starkey Hearing Foundations, has a charity gala that raises money for mission trips to third world countries that provide hearing aids to people with hearing imparememts. This year my mom decided to take me as her date and it was so much fun. I got super overwhelmed by the amount of famous people there and got photos with a few of them that I will attach because they're awesome and I had the time of my life. Some of the people that attended that were way too difficult to get photos with were Bill and Hillary Clinton, George Bush, Katy Perry, Samuel L Jackson, and  Gene Simmons from KISS. 

This is an blurry photo of my mom and I on the red carpet

There were a lot of important world leaders that I didn't really know and also also a lot of sports people I didn't know. I had such a fun time and I just wanted to post something personal I did.

 Have you guys done anything else fun/progressed on your summer work? Now that I'm finished with my commission sign I'm really gonna focus on the collage and drawings. As for the photos- I'm taking a lot of my friends senior photos this upcoming week and I'll post the good ones. Luv u all don't be afraid to post!!!!

Hi all! I did my first commission piece this summer! My boyfriend's dad owns an electric car company that recently changed their name from AMP electric vehicle to Workhorse, and he paid me to hand paint their new logo onto the sign for the front of their building. It definitely would have been less time consuming if he just bought a big sticker, but I didn't argue with it. First I peeled off the login all big logo sticker and then I put on a spray paint base coat. From there I went down to UC and printed out a really big stencil to cover the whole sign. I hand painted the yellow background first, let it dry, put the stencil down and painted the black, and then put down a top coat of clear paint (all of it was outdoor paint). It sounds like it would be a quick project to complete but it actually took me nearly two weeks (three days a week 15 hours a week). It was a really good experience for me and I'm super glad that I got to I earn money while doing something I'm genuinely interested in. Here's the finished product.

The purple logo was the original and the yellow and black is the new one.
