Adobe Illustrator

Latest work:

The vessle and spout portion of this coffee pot were done strictly with gradients, with just one extra shape for the opening of the spout. The handle, hinge, lid and the finial on top were a combination of gradients and layers.

Some older work with Illustrator:

After being self-taught in Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw, I also took a class in Illustrator. as a final project, I drew part of the Wurlitzer Pipe Organ at the Lewis E. Plummer Auditorium in Fullerton, CA. The theater is located at Fullerton High School.

Beginning to form the console and place the levers:

Here is most of the console, nearly finished.

 

The final project impressed my instructor enough that he said "You could have taught this class," Perhaps, but there is always something new to learn in Adobe products, no matter your level. That is to say: I know enough to know that I don't know enough.

Below is a siimilar image of the organ's console, with more information:
