The Work of AJ Frena

By Anonymous

                                            AJ Frena 
               AJ Frena is a graphic design illustrator from Texas who studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York city. Frena's artwork has been exhibited in galleries all over the world including the Margulies Collection and the Onassis Cultural Centre. His pieces take a twist on ancient myths and fairytales. But, his pieces also hold very important links to the issues popular in the media today. Frena's palette is very neutral yet vibrant. His illustrations create a very sensual link between the imagination and the control of technology. His clients vary from locals to big time industries such as Nike, ImagineFX, Disney, Lost at E Minor, Empty Kingdom, and Illustration Friday. AJ now lives and continues his creative career in Pittsburgh, PA with his lucky black cat and older dog Collie.

    One thing I really liked was the image inside of an image. The outline provides one story and then the picture provides another story.

    I really like the first image. It takes an abstract, darker look on a classic visual. It also incorporates realism in the characters; for example, they chose to incorporate an actual lion instead of the human with lion features from the film.

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.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

By Anonymous
      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.
