I have been watching the NCAA tourney these past few weeks. WVU has made it to the Elite Eight and faces a tough opponent, Kentucky, this weekend. One the star players for WVU is Da'Sean Butler, a senior power forward who has been the leader for the Mountaineers this season. I remember photographing him in his freshman year during the 2006-07 season for the Journal.

I originally had these photos posted on my facebook, but i wasn't sure the legality of posting them on there and also, i didnt want anyone to take the images. So, i posted on my pseudo portfolio at carbonmade. Giving the copyright to my old newspaper.

Artist of the Month: February

Alexander McQueen (3/17/69 - 2/11/10) is a fantastic fashion designer who made the walkway his gallery. The Londoner won British Designer of the Year four times.

Despite his storied career, McQueen committed suicide this month.

Honestly, this artist became one of those not-knowing-until-they-pass-away cases. I have always been a fan a fashion and enjoyed how fashion designers keep pushing the limits. But I never got into it as so recognize each designer. When AMQ passed away, his work sample were published everywhere and I was really stunned to see how amazing his has been. These are a few examples of his work. I love the first image, looks like an illustration. Just looking at these images gives me an even higher respect for these designers.
