This table was made per request to display the Towson Cheerleading logo. I began work on this by painting the base coats and individual stripes first. Once those were complete, I freehanded the Towson Cheerleading logo - making a few tweeks so it would look better on the table. I then finished the table off with 2 coats of Americana Gloss Spray Sealer/Finisher. If you would like a custom table, send me an email for a quote.

Facebook Profile Pictures

I was never really a fan of selecting a Facebook profile picture, but I recently found that they can be a lot of fun. After figuring out the dimensions of a Facebook profile picture, 200px by 600px, I came up with a few ideas that people wouldn't expect to see as a profile picture. I wanted to be creative and use the Facebook layout style as part of my picture, as if I was actually on the page. Here are a few designs that I came up with: (click to enlarge)

Pictures were created in photoshop; any questions, feel free to email me or leave a comment. More pictures to come!

Towson Vs. UMBC College Beirut (Beer Pong) Table

Neil Savage — Mon, 24 May 2010 03:25:38 +0000

As a celebration for the end of my college sophomore year, I decided to paint our Beirut (Beer Pong) Table. Below are pictures of the final product and the process of creating the table.

First I needed to sand off the paint that was currently on the table. Once this was done, I primed the plastic with a plastic spray paint primer. Before painting the table, I needed to tape off the sections with the design I created earlier. First two equilateral triangles were made; Each measuring 14" and centered on each side of the table. I then made a 1" border around these triangles and another 1" border around that border. This will create a 19" equilateral triangle on both sides so that 10 and 6 cup Beer Pong can be played. I then taped off the two middle stripes, both measuring with 1" widths. Using acrylic paint, I painted 3 coats of bright yellow and 2 coats black. Once the table was dried, I began to stencil the logos for each school. I then painted, 2 coats of black, 2 coats of white, 3 coats of yellow, 2 coats of brown, and 1 coat of gray. After finishing the logos, I stenciled out the logos to be placed on the sides of the table: Under Armour, Chipotle, Chick-Fil-A and Warrior Lacrosse. Once these logos were painted, I let the table dry for 24 hours. Triple Thick Gloss was then applied evenly over the table, sealing the paint from being exposed to any liquids. 1 heavy coat was applied and then a touch up coat was applied 12 hours afterwards to areas that might have been missed. After 24 hours of drying the table was ready to be handled.

3D Design: Cardboard Final Project

Neil Savage — Wed, 12 May 2010 20:29:42 +0000

For my 3D design class, our project was to replicate an object using only cardboard as the medium. I choose to replicate a life size weight bench with the bar bell and weights. Bench press is fully functional, except for actually laying on the seat. Each piece was measured to a life-size scale and made completely of cardboard and glue. Here are a few pictures: (click to enlarge)

Jack of Spades Cutout

Neil Savage — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 14:16:18 +0000

This is a piece that I made for an Art Appreciation class I took my Freshman year of college for a general education class (non art major). The assignment was simple, create any object using black and white construction paper. I wanted a challenge, so I picked a Jack of Spades. Using a xacto knife, I carefully cut the white paper to form a Jack of Spade with the negative black space.

Size: 8" x 12"
Medium: White construction paper on black construction paper

Visual Concepts: Place Project

Neil Savage — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 05:38:23 +0000

For this assignment, we had to relate our project to place. My project has to do with the places that I've been by compiling all of my pictures into a mosaic in the shape of my eye. The concept behind this piece is that, without eyes, I could not have seen any of these places nor experienced them. The process involved using AndreaMosaic to create the mosaic with my pictures, creating the eye. Then, using Photoshop, I made 16 6" x 4" files to print. After each file was printed, I rearranged the photo to create the eye and glued them to matboard.

Size: 20" x 14"

Visual Concepts: Self Project

Neil Savage — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:03:11 +0000

For my class, we were assigned to create a piece that represented our self image in anyway. I chose to alter my face and head to portray a different type of person. The word self comes into play with the idea of wondering what I would look like if I was born differently or was at a different time frame in my life. The different alterations that I made were to represent an older person, an African American person and an Asian person using photoshop.
