Evelyn, Evelyn

This piece is the companion piece to Gerard’s portrait titled “Reverend”. Evelyn is Gerard’s companion, but she has gone through much more change and development as a character. She started as just a simple country girl who broke Gerard’s heart, but then became the unwilling mother figure of an underground cult who can see spirits…

Reverend

If there is one character who is intrinsically tied with my college experience, it would have to be Gerard Peregrine. He has been present in friends made and lost, stories that have ended abruptly and others that have been written and rewritten again and again. And still he remains, a simple, grumpy cleric of little…

Pawpaw Pan

Born in the late 1940s, my grandfather, Alton “Pan” Franklin, lived in severe poverty in rural Alabama. To this day, he tells stories about stealing live chickens so his mother could have something to put on the table for dinner. His mom and dad’s entire family moved to Mississippi–all the aunts and uncles moved together…

  • Cald-Well, Would You Look at That

    A view from outside Caldwell, the dormitory that I lived in during my Junior year, one of the most tumultuous semesters of my life, and it was caused by more than just early on-set senioritis. The cafeteria meals, a far cry from anything recommended by the FDA, were often a colorful array of lukewarm, unidentifiable…

Ghostwritten Vol. 1

Ghostwritten is a pet project of mine that I’ve been working on off and on over my college years. It was born for my fascination with the folklore surrounding ghosts in different cultures, my love of nature and taxonomy, and my nostalgia for stories I grew up reading about kids getting thrown in the deep…

1/250th of a Second

In Southern Mississippi, ice and snow are rare occurrences. But the winter of my Junior year at Belhaven University was one of those special times when January covered everything with an admittedly thin layer of ice and snow. Still, the students took pride in their temporary winter wonderland, especially since any hint of ice or…

Angler’s Nest

Anglers Nest was a graphic design challenge to make a logo package for a fictional company. However, there’s a twist. The logo must incorporate these random attributes: Color: Pale GreenBusiness: Bait & Tackle ShopAnimal: PterodactylPersonality: Rebel/Sage I found that the premise of a bait & tackle shop was perfect for me because my grandfather (who…
