My mother

Me on a Laser class sailboat with a friend in Bellingham, Washington.

Welcome to my self portrait project website! My name's Carlo Pio di Savoia, and here's a little bit of background information about me.

 

First of all, let me say that I love the mountains. If I had the choice between Hawaii and Alaska, I would pick Alaska. Call me crazy if you want. Anywho, as you may have figured, that's why there's snow peaked mountains in the background. Sadly, I only go up to ski once a year, if even.

 

By now you might be thinking "what's that awful sound that I can't stop?" That awful sound is actually a song I created using aviary's music editor. I chose to make a song as similar to drum and bass as possible, seeing as that is one of my favorite genres of music at the moment.

 

Changing subject here, my family and friends have affected me greatly. From how I dress, to what music I listen to, to how weird I act, it's all thanks to them. A new thing in my life though, is freestyle. Similar to those I know very well, it is shaping me as a person, but dissimilarly, it's teaching me how to use computers for purposes which I never really knew well before- it's not like my mother can teach me how to use many Adobe applications. No offense, mom. Within the few months I've been here, I've gotten a pretty solid foundation in Garageband, Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator. Personally, I would pick Illustrator over Photoshop in most cases in case you wanted to know. I like its general purpose much more, and appeals to what I enjoy making more so than Photoshop. You can't just have one though, so I'm not totally biased towards one or the other.

 

This entire website encompass me as whole- from a podcast, to a spoken essay, to an "abstract" drawing which represents my simultaneous best and worst trait. So, once again, welcome to my site, I hope you enjoy it.
