Tree of Life


Hello all!
At first glance, “Tree of Life” looks to be simply a handsome rubbing of a tree trunk cross-section, which alone I find pretty attractive. But closer scrutiny reveals tree rings made up of thousands of minuscule animal drawings. Designed by Gary, Aaron & Khairul of Degree, "Tree of Life" was created with the intent of drawing attention to rainforest deforestation and the dwindling habitat of millions of animal species that live there, or are now extinct. 
Pretty cool, huh?

  1. I love the idea of the animals forming the shape of the tree trunk! That's awesome

  2. I love this! I honestly didn't even notice the animals until I read what you said! The concept is so cool and it's crazy how long that probably took to draw the thousands of individual animals

  3. This is amazing! Just the thought and detail and time that had to go into this piece is really awesome.

  4. I like the statement that's being made with this piece, and also the fact that all life begins with plants, represented by the tree.

Last Blog Post

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Bye For Now DMA

      Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
