One Love

Since Valentines is here, there’s love in the air, so that was the theme to these designs. One Love is inspired by a phrase in Bob Marley’s song, “One Love”, but expanded to include the text “One Love, One Hope, One Voice.” It’s done in a grungy fashion, and incorporates my urban calligraphy. It’s based on the inclusive attitude of the hip-hop and reggae musical communities. The shirts are available for men and women here.

Dying for Love

Dying for Love is a goofy visual pun. This design can also be found on Zazzle.

Love Monster

Inspired by the Cookie Monster and Valentines Day, the Love Monster eats hearts for breakfast. Indicative of the “Happy Insanity” t-shirt series, this design has a little bit of cynicism mixed with humor. He can be purchased here.

MFA Talon Printing

I came across the print shop of MFA Talon Printing in my research for fine art printers. As an artist, this print shop offers great options: serigraph (silkscreen), giclee, and various techniques (gold leaf, UV coating, and metallics). They claim to be the “one of the first fine art printing studios in the country to produce Fine Art Books entirely in silkscreen” but be prepared to stash away some money as they retail for $5,000 to $7,000 for each portfolio book.

Cartoon Girl with an Axe

Cartoon Girl with an Axe

Cartoon Girl with an Axe is a fun little project inspired by all those hours of watching animated characters frolic on the screen. Part of my Happy Insanity series, this is also inspired by Emily the Strange, Ruby Gloom, and Happy Tree Friends.

This was first conceptualized in my sketchbook, then went straight to the computer as I had a pretty clear vision–just pure vector shapes in Adobe Illustrator.

Inspiration: Shephard Fairey and Propaganda Artwork

in inspiration February 4, 2009

Street (and gallery) artist Shephard Fairey talks about his philosophy on creating the propaganda-inspired pieces. His manifesto is amazing too.

Some conservatives write off Shephard Fairey and Banksy as mere vandals, but I believe that they’re examples of how art is accessible to everyone and how important imagery could be. Visual artists speak to the senses and enough repetition of certain ones could influence the subconscious in some fashion. Fairey’s Obama image has revolutionized street art, as the public attached their own view onto the image. All art (commercial and noncommercial) seems to be some form of propaganda–either from one’s own agenda or another’s–to inspire, think, or feel. . .

Artwork: Silver and Pearl Pendant Necklace

in Uncategorized February 2, 2009

As a side hobby, I’ve been tinkering with jewelry design. This collage was created from old beads, chain, pearls, wires, and pliers. The large pendent was taken from an multi-layered earring piece.

I created 5 jewelry pieces that same day, but my arm paid the price. My carpal tunnel started acting up and I was unable to function properly for the next few days. Needless to say, I won’t be doing too many jewelry projects for a while. . . but I’m happy how the pieces came out.
