Sometimes the City can provide some interesting photo opportunities.

Some interesting shots can be captured when playing around with the camera.

A high school project required carving a piece of linoleum and rolling ink across to create stamped art. While one of the stamps was entered into the Arlington Museum of Art's Student Art Exhibition, unfortunately none of the original inked stamps have survived.

John M Faber, the Founder of JMF Studios, is a self-proclaimed "madman" who takes his artistic journey one day at a time.

An eight and a half hour self-portrait that was selected for the 2013 Student Juried Art Exhibition. This is the first serious self-portrait drawing of the artist that happened to emerge from a semester final project in drawing class.

Some photographs of people in JMF's Life

One of the first official Photoshop projects by JMF was during a Digital Imaging course where the assignment was to photoshop a bottle with elements reflective of the artist's personality based on a billboard advertisement the professor had worked on.

Multiple class assignments with the same requirement of creating a logo out of the artist's name and personality have been combined into one large project with numerous variations and hundreds of logo sketches.

An advanced drawing assignment required something other than paper to be used as the canvas. By chance an old guitar had stopped working properly a few months earlier, so it was sanded down, covered in tempera paint and drawn using oil pastel. Some highlights use the natural color of the wood, exposed by scratching the surface with a knife. The front side of the guitar would not allow the proper canvas for oil pastel.
