Snake VS Rat

 The first time we switched from feeding our snake mice to rats. It was a little big but a very col experience. Took him about 20 minutes. Stupid dates again...

 Gizmo's reaction. He loves the snake.

The Fruit Bowl

Lighting and texturing completed using Maya. A Second year project. It was one of the first light and texturing projects we had. We had to UV every piece of fruit and paint the textures, apply them and light the scene. Not my best work but it was from second year, first semester.

Winter Landscape

This is a reproduction of a winter landscape I grabbed out of a watercolor demonstration book. It was a nice challenge and made great use of masking fluid. It was a fantastic learning experience.

The Green, It Grows


A picture I took in the back of my parents forest. I touched it up in photoshop, had some fun. All in all I still think I like the original best.

Havana Cuba

 Cuba was the first vacation Ben and I have gone on, and by far amazing! My only regret is that I accidentally forgot to turn off the date setting for my camera. It's not even the right date. If you're interested in buying a print of any of these Pictures you can email me at juliempom@gmail.com. I can blow them up and mount them.
 This was a detour we took on our way to Havana. We had to cross this bridge to get across the valley  that was 200 feet or more bellow.




 It was amazing what these Cubans drove! Old cars that had been restored and converted to diesel. These were everywhere and I loved it.
 Our first glimpse of Havana. An old neglected military base situated on a cliff overlooking the city.






 Havana herself. The architecture in this city was amazing! There was so much history and culture to soak up.

This is a museum where they had preserved all the war equipment used by Castro at the Bay of Pigs war. Nat and I sat on the ledge of the fence surrounding this museum and apparently that does not fly with Cubans. We were approached by a man with a big gun.






 This is the bar the mohjito was created in.

Rough Draft

Temporary Business cards.  I need to vectorise the art work in corel. The basic idea.

The Keys, the keys!

My latest painting. Indian Ink and Watercolor. I enjoyed this perspective although didn't realize how precise the angles have to be. Over all I'm very please with this piece.
