Hi everyone, my name is Collin!<\/p>\n

I’ve been called a car guy, I’ve been called a gaming nerd. I also love to play soccer and toss a disc around whenever the opportunity arises. With the wide variety of interests and hobbies I have, it’s difficult to settle on a single path. I feel that I am above average with most of these hobbies but can’t hold a candle to the respective professionals or experts.<\/p>\n

Starting in middle school continuing on throughout high school, I drew cars in my free time, first from a direct side profile then from more proper angles. This is a brief history of my work:<\/p>\n

My first completed drawing, heavily influenced by the Need for Speed games I was playing at the time<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From here, I began taking images of actual cars from the internet, printing them out, and ‘re-magnifying’ them.<\/p>\n

This was completed about 2 years later, I believe this was put on display at a local art store for a month or two<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
First complete drawing at a new angle. Once I finished this, it opened the floodgates<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As of lately (about 3 years or so), my artistical talent has been \u00a0mainly expressed through playing music. I am skilled at piano, guitar, and bass guitar. I also picked up a drum kit on a whim over this past summer. I’m a HUGE fan of Muse. They’ve been my favorite band of all time ever since I discovered them in 2011 and also inspired me into picking up the guitar a year later. I was\u00a0extremely happy to be able to see them live twice for their past two albums.\u00a0Over this past summer, my brother and I also began to record some Muse covers (none of which are out there on the net).<\/p>\n

Not long after I began watching Muse’s live performances (a principle element of the band) on the internet, I started to take note of the light and laser shows they implemented. With their songs comprising a wide variety of moods and styles, the different atmospheres that the show designers create throughout the show are incredible. It was this that lead me to some\u00a0AREN courses(hoping to pursue a minor, was originally a double major) and to take this humanities practicum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
