Brian’s multifaceted appreciation of the arts and his refined creativity
have resulted in several fields of interest. Here is a
representation of some of that talent in the visual arts and design
categories. 
Portraits,
pencil on paper
If there’s a single artistic skill Brian has honed, it is that
of portraiture with mechanical/drafting pencils using various lead
softnesses on 9"×12" paper. There’s a distinct interest
in lighting and contrast, as well as shifting balance between photorealism
and a rough sketch technique, usually in the same composition. View

Logos
The ubiquitous logo doesn’t need much of an introduction.
Its purpose is clear and a well-designed brand icon is a stamp on the
memory. As such, the clever balance is vital between simplicity in
appearance and refined, richly connotative, subtly complex detail.
Brian finds this dichotomy fascinating and has explored the technique and
implementation of the logo craft. View Examples …
Photographic
design & image
manipulation
Everyone with access to Photoshop has experimented with silly
image manipulation, but not many have found the endeavor to be a true
creative outlet and a means for problem-solving and organization.
Brian has devised and tackled projects, and satisfied many clients in the
process. View Examples …
Website &
graphic design
For over 10 years, Brian has been desigining websites such as this current
version of worldbri.com with nothing more than Photoshop slices and
HTML tables, the main focus being on the tastefulness of the page and simple
coding, not flashy graphics and advanced programming languages. (Still
looks good, though, right?) View

Also, experience Brian’s work in other media:
Music, songwriting,
composition
The music is intelligent, clever, emotive, humorous, introspective,
and witty; independently produced, acoustic and electric guitar-based
and/or piano-based singer/ songwriter alternative/ folk/ rock.
Lyrically, the oft-tackled subjects include love and infatuation, or
philosophy and related ranting; all with extended metaphors, incessant
word-play; and sure to give your intellect a headache. Listen
