Hey guys! I thought I would share some of my recent work with you. Since of I have been home my father (glassblower, the piece above is one of his lingerie bowls) has enlisted me to photograph some of his work. He has operated many years without a website but has decided to get on the Internet bandwagon. Little Pa has only his Nikon point n' shoot and Adobe Photoshop 2.0 (blurgh), so having me home has proven advantageous to his endeavour. This little project has really made me see how much I have learned during my short time at RIT, compared to when I first started out. But all of that aside, this has made me think about the way art genres are interlaced. My father is a craftsman, but for his website he needs the help of graphic designers and photographers. No matter what our medium is, artists always come upon projects that require collaboration with other fields. In my opinion, that's pretty wild!

very nice :) and you are absolutely right about how all art and design fields are interlaced. We all need each others' services at some point and can't always do everything ourselves, so it's nice when artists can work together like this to benefit each other. Right now I'm helping out a tattoo artist I met since I've been back in Vegas with getting some decent looking photos of her work and designing a little business card and flyer so she can promote herself. It's really great because you get to meet all kinds of people who have all kinds of skills and crafts, and it just makes everything much more fun :)
also it looks like your dad is a pretty awesome glassblower!
