Today I would like to give a well deserved shout out to a super talented photographer and digital artist who just happens to be one of my students: Joscheb. He created the pieces below for my Digital Imagery for the Fine Artist class this semester. The image below was a digital collage and Joscheb a very gifted photographer used his own images. He made a composition and then we flip the work horizontally so it read backwards. The piece was printed to be used as an  image transfer. However, when we saw the work flipped; we flipped too! We loved it. His use of scale and color lead the eye through the composition.

The image above was also created by Joscheb. This is a traditional painting on top of one of his photographs. Being a fine artist I wanted to challenge the student to try new and different things. The brush work is so energetic. And just as an FYI: he used the background texture from this painting in the image above (he adjusted the colors and scale in Photoshop). So the next time you are working on a piece look to see what you can recycle in your work. Well done Joscheb and keep up the good work.
