Memorabilia
(Noteworthy events in steve's life)

I call these events memorabilia because to me at least these items are remarkable and worthy of remembrance and I have decided to present them here before you now on this that is our modern day forum - the internet. It's good to look back on your life reflecting on your past achievements and take pride in them. All that we have done has brought us to where we are now and where we are going. Remember always that and with that all things are possible...

This photograph was taken of me while being given honorable mention as the official poster artist ,between musical acts, on "The Embarcadero Stage" during the 2002 Morro Bay Harbor Festival.

What can I tell you, what a tremendous opportunity it was for me and my company to be a part of this largly publicized event...........This notoriety is due to me winning the poster competition back in 2001 during my tenure at Allan Hancock College and the Graphics 113 class whom without this would not have been possible.

Now I am the webmaster for the ( Harborfestival ) and am charged with the upkeep of their website.

This photograph was taken of me at "The Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce 2002 "Community Awards Luncheon.

I was invited By Chamber President Bob Hatch, and Chairman of the Board Dave Cross to display my freedom movie as part of the opener for this years luncheon. What a terrific opportunity for me. This was the very first time that any of my work was shown to a large group of people on a large screen. This, most definately, is a noteworthy event in my life...........

This is the second movie in my spacebattles series.
This movie was created over the span of 3 months during a brief rest from the buisy college semester. I hope one day to put my talent to work in the movie industry.

It was created using 3D Studio Max R3.1., Adobe Premiere 5.1, and Adobe Photoshop 6 and was encoded with DivX codec3.11alpha ...

This photograph was taken at a release party for a web site I helped to design at the Santa Maria Discovery Museum on 12/16/2000 while doing a television interview for "KCOY News Source 12." Wow what can I say this was a very exciting time. They Didn't actually show this on TV, however what they did show I need to digitize and will show here.

This picture is not a relic from my youth but is significant in that it is my very first 3D environment created using 3D Studio Max 2.5 3D modeling is fun but very labor intensive. The ultimate goal of the artist is to simulate reality as much as possible so that the end result is not a picture that looks computer generated but a photograph.

One of the funnest points in my life was attending Al Collins Graphic design School in Tempe,Arizona ! Here is my certificate of completion for the 800 hr course in design logic. This was my first experience with formal training in the field and is a very good school.

As far as I can tell this is one of the first drawings, if not the first drawing, I have ever done. I think it is of a haunted house. I do not know when this was done but I do remember being very young. It was done in watercolor on newsprint paper. Not very many artists can boast as to still having some of their very first artwork. I am pleased to have found this.

This is another very old drawing. I don't know which of the two pictures are older but these are the only surviving drawings from this period in my life. This drawing was done with a watercolor background, and the shark itself with a combination of crayon. An interesting experament with mixed media for such a young tike. Its amazing to me that of all the things I could have picked to draw that "Jaws" would have such an impact on me as to inspire me to draw this. Its always fun to look back at your old drawings and see how far you've come...

Surviving awards from a bygone era. Unfortunately what you see to the right here is all that survives of the merit of my youth. Regretably I cannot show the bowling trophies I won during the height of my bowling career as they have been lost over the years of being in my care. What remains however is priceless and preserved here.
