"I absolutely loved getting to create this series.

"I absolutely loved getting to create this series. The theme for each piece was about the deepest desires someone can have, from developing a connection with someone on a more personal level to wanting a family dynamic you never had to even mastering a video game. This was the most challenging work I have ever done as it combines the work from almost all of my classes with a difficult medium like oils. I had only three months to do it along with wanting to make the canvas by hand, which I would not have been able to achieve without the help of Lucas McMahon in the Neusteter building." Shout out to Lucas Rodman on these pieces! Give the artist a follow @elsearecreations. #RMCAD #FineArts

"This photo series entitled 'PAINT' is the latest addition to my 'COLOR SERIES,' which I’ve been working on since my freshman year at RMCAD.

I focused on creating imagery and storylines based solely on color! While I’d like to say these images have some complex meaning behind them, the reality is that they are simply just meant to look cool. I think as artists we sometimes hold ourselves back by focusing on creating groundbreaking and meaningful work. My goal as an artist is to create images that grab the attention of a viewer, and encourage them to interpret each piece on their own. By allowing the viewer to have control of the narrative, I believe my work connects with a wider array of audiences and encourages them to make their own stories out of the images in front of them.” Shout out to Mary Bandimere on this piece!

Give it up for these incredibly ambitious creatives 👏

Students in Experience Design recently took on the challenge of refreshing the Rude Building interior on campus. The class worked on bringing the space to life through way-finding improvements, environmental graphic design, and information architecture. From new art frames and colors to easier navigation and organization, this project will be admired by many for years to come!

Chasing your dream doesn't always come easy.

Let us introduce you to Kevin Robb, internationally-acclaimed Colorado artist who creates sculptures of monumental scale. Growing up, Kevin knew he couldn't live without art in his life, so he enrolled at RMCAD to pursue a creative career.

After graduating in 1978, Kevin (BFA, Graphic Design) entered the industry as a graphic designer but always held the desire to work on large-scale projects. He eventually pursued his passion for welding and began creating large-scale, free flowing sculptures made of stainless steel and bronze.

In 2004 Kevin suffered a massive stroke, rendering him unable to speak and limiting his physical ability. He spent 13 days on life support and over seven weeks in rehabilitation hospitals, but that didn't stop Kevin from returning to his studio. Today, two decades later, Kevin uses digital software to render his sculptures and has hired assistants to be his hands so that he can continue to create his incredible sculptures and live life as an artist.

Kevin's sculptures are collected in 48 states and six international countries, and his perseverance and determination continues to be shown through himself and his art around the world. #RMCAD #AlumniSpotlight #KevinRobb

“Much of my artistic practice is profoundly influenced by music, which serves as my primary source of inspiration. Over this past summer, I created this oil painting titled 'Ascension' which was inspired based off a song that I felt connected to. The piece captures the vibrant energy and emotional depth of the music, ascending us in to higher states of mindfulness.” Shout out to Ciarra Nelson on this piece!

“For this project I wanted to experiment with making a stylized character with realistic qualities. I took inspiration from the movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. My goal was to create the character Hobie Brown, adding my own style and twist. I took this character all the way down the pipeline from modeling to rigging. I also eventually gave this character an environment to run around in. It was a lot of fun and I learned a ton of new techniques along the way!” #RMCAD #3DAnimation #GameArt

Join us in congratulating online illustration stud

Join us in congratulating online illustration student Markiey Fantonial on his first-place win in the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival Design Contest! Over 170,000 attendees celebrated Asian American heritage at the festival, held at Sloan's Lake Park, over two days. "I was blown away to hear from the coordinators that they chose my work because there were a lot of people involved in voting which poster wins this year," Fantonial states. With a panel of judges from Meow Wolf, RedLine Contemporary Art Center, and Denver Art Museum, to name a few, the pressure was on for artists who entered the competition.

"Because of this big milestone in my art career, I flew from Minnesota to Denver for the first time and got my work recognized in front of a huge crowd. It was truly a moment to remember. I thank the coordinators of the event and the board of judges for choosing my work."

Here is what @markiey.art had to say about his piece:

"My biggest inspiration was The Great Wave by Hokusai and a few elements of anime references. Since it's a celebration of Asian culture, I had to showcase Asian influences. I also wanted to create movement through the illustration and include a lot of energy through the wave and the dragon boat rowers." #RMCAD #ColoradoDragonBoatFestival

"Nyla was so much fun to create! First, I made a concept sheet to decide how I wanted the character to look. I then UV mapped and unwrapped the head, made all of the textures, applied the textures, and lit and rendered the character. What’s more, I’m particularly proud of this piece because it placed 1st in RMCAD’s 59th Annual Student Exhibition in the 3D Animation + Game Art category!" Shout out to animation alumna Tonishea Austin on this piece! #RMCAD #GameArt
