Our artwork
One of our deepest passions is creating art. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes meaningful, and sometimes just plain fun, art enriches our lives and excites our souls. For us, art is a way of life that glorifies God and brings us more fully alive.
The webpages below are our way of sharing with you some of our best artistic creations; click on the images to enter. Enjoy!
Mike's Digital Playground
In 2007, Mike began to explore his long-dormant creative side by recording simple audio skits on his laptop. Audio skits led to videos, videos led to graphic design, and the eventual result was an explosion of creative pursuits in a variety of digital media. Completely self-taught, Mike has always been a visionary at heart, eager to explore new frontiers and push the limits of what's possible. His ecclectic collection of original art, special effects, videos, photography, audio skits, and graphic design bears testimony to his pioneering (and often extremely goofy) artistic spirit.
Jen's Online Art Portfolio Page
With a Bachelor of Arts in Illustration, Jen has created a number of unique pieces in a wide variety of media: oil paints, pencil sketches, ink, silk screens, colored pencil sketches, and of course, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. This page highlights some of her best work.
Handzocostanzo.com
Named after our industrious, hard-working hands, handzoCostanzo was our first foray into the field of doing art for others. Still up and running after two and a half years, handzoCostanzo.com is also the first webpage we ever designed (although it was actually built by a friend).
The Dirty South Community Center Website
This is a website that Mike designed for one of his classes to advertise a fictional nonprofit community center. The center itself is fake, but everything else about it is real: the graphic design, the T-shirts, the snappy text, the logo, and the various jokes scattered throughout the site like easter eggs in your Mom's backyard. So get your dirt on and pay a visit to the Dirty South CC. Word.
About this site
This site was created from scratch with Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Photoshop, and lots of online tutorials. This particular version of the site (a tribute to how much we miss and love and want tons of snow) will be up during the winter months, after which we'll either create a spring theme or else bring our standard "art" theme back.
Previous versions of the site include this one, this one, and this one.
Thanks for visiting!
