McFarlane’s Military
Army Desert Infantry and Army Recon figures from Series One, shot on my bed with a shower towel backdrop.
Night Sky Layers
I took a few digital pictures, set them to one, flat color, and layered them. It makes for a good desktop background.
Walking Trip
I took a walk aroung the neighborhood, and took pictures of what the city looks like within easy walking distance.
Parents 2005 - This image is not licensed under a “Creative Commons” license.
The set was completed with a photo of my parents.
Older Kids Photo 2005 - This image is not licensed under a “Creative Commons” license.
Carmella and Tiffany asked me to use the same pose only with the older set of siblings. So I did. Despite my best efforts, I still look ugly in it.
Kids Photo 2005 - This image is not licensed under a “Creative Commons” license.
Matching the poses and layout of a photo taken years ago of their three older siblings, Katren Caeley and Sam sat in my photo “studio” (my bedroom) and smiled for the camera.
Spin Blur
A bunch of different filters produced this result. A fun experiment.
Figure Photo Shoot

Space Desktop
A brief guide on how I designed an image.
First Annual YMCA Local Auto Show
A collection of images taken at a local car show.
Summer Clouds
This is a shot from the back of the house, with the Aetherize filter applied. It gives it a nice touch. Some shy away from the use of filters, but I personally enjoy using them if the image comes out looking better in the end.
I Beseech You
While Carmella was in the hospital for back surgery, I made this image for her. The rose was given to her by a cousin, and the verse is one of Carmella’s favorites (Romans 12:1-2).
Backyard Rainbow
Just like it normally works, a rainbow showed up in the backyard when the sun began shining. I took a photo.
A Visit to Grandpa’s House
During a visit to my grandparent’s house, I photographed some of the sights in the area.

Took some pictures of roses in the backyard, and inspiration struck.

Just an old picture I had of a dead tree in a small marshy area back in Hawk Woods. I used it for a desktop, and thought it looked good enough to post it up here.
Christmas Photos
Due to a lack of funds, as well as my aversion to less personal gifts I was sure I would end up purchasing, I decided to make pictures for everyone.
Family Photo 2003 - This image is not licensed under a “Creative Commons” license.
This year was a little more difficult than last year, as the shot was taken indoors. The lighting was a chore, and took a lot longer than what we were expecting. Like last year, I had to exchange facial features (Katren’s) from another photo. Different from last year is the Christmas card style. The present logo was handmade in Adobe Illustrator by me, during a hectic night to find a logo to put on the card.
A Very Mad World
To commemorate the resurrection of my laptop, I designed this wallpaper. The laptop can only reach a 1280×960 resolution, so it’s not a big wallpaper. The quote came from the song “Mad World” by Tears for Fears.
Meijer Safety Posters - 1 / 2
I was going to enter these into a contest to win some prizes, but I wasn’t able to make it in time. I procrastinated, PROCRASTINATED, I tell you! Either way, I’ll display them here. Then I kinda win anyway, right?
Songs of Praise and Worship - 1 / 2 / 3
I was given the responsibility of cooking up a cover for our Bible Study songbook. Well, okay, so I volunteered. But I took it seriously, feverishly making multiple versions (some of which I am too ashamed to place on this site - they were that bad). Here are the few I thought were interesting.
SomethingLeet Splash Screen Attempt
While it was never accepted (some thought it was totally contrary to SomethingLeet’s “image”), I thought the image was interesting enough to post on my site.
Thrill 2 Kill Logo Design - This image is not licensed under a “Creative Commons” license.
This was an attempt at designing a logo for the Thrill 2 Kill website, which specializes in offering modifications for Half-Life. While the logo was approved, the webmaster didn’t know how he was going to fit it in with the current layout, so the project was dropped.
Sun Pictures
The sun was out, I took a photo, and then cooked up that lovely prose piece with my amazing mind. Pure literary genious, I tell you.
Memories
Even though it’s all forgiven, the past still comes to haunt my thoughts.
Blood Type
I took a picture of a soy sauce splatter, and changed it to blood.
Strange Events
I wanted to do something different. Made entirely in Adobe Illustrator, only being exported to Adobe Photoshop for minor resizing and bordering effects.
Hepworth Family Photo Retouch - Original / Retouched - These images are not licensed under a “Creative Commons” license.
Back at Hawk Woods again, this time to take a photo for the family. The little ones didn’t want to cooperate, so I had to edit multiple photos together later in Photoshop. I was very pleased with the end result. The image was used as our yearly family photos, which were sent out to many relatives.
Soldier - These images are not licensed under a “Creative Commons” license.
I took a photo of a toy soldier, and traced it in Illustrator. Yes, traced it. So sue me.
Masks
Sometimes the hardest people to reach for Christ are those who think they are good enough for Him already. This image was made entirely in Adobe Illustrator, only being exported to Adobe Photoshop for the copyright notification. The mask was made by tracing a digital photograph I took of a small mask that Carmella owns.
Personal Photograph
The final requirement in my Color Theory class, I was assigned to design an abstract personal photograph. Since it’s abstract, it may not be easily recognized. You may interpret what you wish about the image, but here are my reasons behind the art:

  1. The red lines in the background form the analog clock time “3:00 AM” which is my bedtime.
  2. The face grafted to the computer is my way of showing I am on my computer frequently.
  3. The Login screen on the computer is due to the assignment requirement that I have my name on the image.
  4. The globe connected to the monitor is to symbolize the World Wide Web, which, as a web designer, is important to me.
  5. The footprints show my path with God.
Summer Sun on Spring Puddles
An assignment in abstract imaging where I was required to design an image around a phrase. I chose the phrase “Summer Sun on Spring Puddles”.
Pressure
An abstract image displaying peer pressure. Color Theory assignment which required the use of complementary hues.
Meijer One Hour Photo T-Shirt - Front / Back
I was given the opportunity to design a t-shirt for the photo lab, and wear it instead of the normal uniform. Any opportunity to not have to wear the dirt-grabbing monkey suit is much appreciated. Too bad the shirt melted in the dryer. I did get to wear it for one work shift, though.
Speed
Abstract image assignment requiring the use of complementary colors.
The Knife
I recently purchased a Star Trek: Nemesis kinfe replica from Wholesale Direct Online. After viewing FreakDesign’s artwork, I decided to make something similar (in terms of text formatting). This is the result.
Traveling
A few pictures from a trip to my uncle’s house in Standish.
Hawk Woods - 1 / 2 / 3
I spent several hours at a local nature park, called Hawk Woods. I felt these pictures were worthy enough to post on the page.
Welcome Home
My mother was just returning from Canada, and I wanted to welcome her in my strange way.
Awaken
Fun with filters, and “USA Network”-style TV movie advertisements.
Angst
I wasn’t really moody during this image. Really.
Hope
My Mom thought I was overly dramatic in the Regret photo, so I made this one to show her I wasn’t crazy.
Regret
I don’t know why I made this image. I think mainly it was because I saw the rose picture in my computer folder, and thought it looked kinda melancholy.
My Prison
I saw an image made by another user, somewhat similar to this (macro object, blue tint). I wanted to try it out myself.
Nature Window
A collage of photos. Top left taken at Cedar Point. Top left taken at LAN party. Bottom two taken at grandparent’s property.
Truck Sale Flyer
A neighbor of mine was selling his truck on the AutoTrader.com website. I made a graphic for him. I got into more detail than the normal user. I have that tendency.
Run the Race
I used up most of one roll of 35mm film all on my little brother running around the backyard. This picture really reminded me of a Bible verse.
These Hands
Another desktop I made during a rather boring quarter at Baker College.
Art, Revitalized
I went filter happy with this one. It was a boring quarter at Baker College, so I decided to make some images.
Winter Trees
I thought these trees looked kinda gloomy - gloomy enough to edit them! That’s about it.
Remember
September 11th memorial image. Published in the September 11th, 2002 Oakland Press newspaper. It received an average 4 out of 5 rating at digitalart.org. My father was the concept designer.
