immortalized.

My awesome instructor is having these actually printed up, I will have them tomorrow! Each person in class designed different cards in a suit, I was responsible for the A, 7, 6, 9 of the clubs.

Kate Moss (revisited)

mmmm :)

Man, I am diggin' your new 'do.

Stationary for a hair salon dubbed 'Thackery Wackery' using monochromatic yellow and mustard.
Oh, and you can't forget your 'Frequent Thackery' cards. :)

We All Scream

...for ICE CREAM! So, this is another class assignment. If I could imagine the perfect ice cream getaway for myself and my lover, then this would be branding that would make me happy. The ad campaign I was given was to re-brand the current Baskin-Robbins to a more upscale and adult friendly environment, without losing it's current customer base. I'm thinking less Ben & Jerry's and a more modern Haagen Daz. Are you feelin it or what?

bird is the word

Here's a website I finished for class, and I am pretty darn happy with it. Usually I stress out at the though of using PS for a whole project, but this wasn't too bad.
Two more weeks until winter break :)

miniatures. (sort of)

These are reminiscent of little miniature displays really really loved when I was a kid.
Tonight I'm going to a AIGA disc slam (different artists have a few minutes each to show their work on a CD to a group) with Dominic and his dad. I am totally pumped to see how this is going to work. And the best part is that it's being held at Canyon Creative; I got a chance to go there for a field trip and their offices were so cool. K I'm off to get ready right now :)

Currently working on...

Natalie Portman, watercolor gouache
This is my second try with her portrait, and I am pretty happy with myself with being so patient and really taking the time to keep checking my reference.

And an update on my last drawing:


I was planning for that one to be good enough for the display case at school but... eh. Not so sure any more. In any case. I have been officially DUNZO with Spring quarter for the past half an hour. I am so relieved. Now me and Dommie have more time for screen printing stufff. Yay excited!

edit; This video totally expresses how I feel. And I am totally digging the totally profesh backdrop they have going on. :)

guess who

Baaaackstage!

In all honesty, I think her music is catchy. Like that Lady GaGa person. In any case, I did these for class, und I liken dis vurry mush! Okay, that was annoying.
I have one more week of school! I am pretty hyped for the whole three weeks worth of summer break. Haha. Top Chef Masters is pretty good. Dom and I are rooting for Hubert Keller, I don't think it has anything to do with my old man crush...

My love for Miss Moss expressed in a magazine cover.

Olé !

My first pastel piece for Illustration class. We were assigned to do a travel magazine cover with our choice location. My choice: Spain! It's not that tight of an illustration but pastels tend to go towards the softer look. (which I likey vurry mush!) I used Prismacolor NuPastels and Carbothello pastel pencils on faun Stonehedge paper. This was so much fun, I really want to get into pastels now!

I designed some tankies last night, just some ideas that I'll turn into screens. I just photoshopped these babies on a plain white tank. Since summer is here(at least in Vegas it feels like it has been full force summer since last month uggh) and I really hate wearing anything with sleeves, tank tops it is!

Live fast, die young

(another; but way simpler) 'on the reg'

This last one was made especially for my girl Dre! (aka recipeforwreckage) Just a custom lowrider stencil.

Contemplating on whether or not to put a design up on my CafePress store. I have so much work to do for school :( But the weekend is here!

the result of a sleepless night...

The assignment was to design a concert poster for the House of Blues and have it plate-ready for screen printing. I really liked how this turned out. I only used three spot colors, but I'm still undecided one adding a yellow color to the lipstick tube and the girl's hair for a little more interest. The only thing that is missing is the HOB logo on the bottom right corner. So far, so good!

Do I look different to you?
