Mil Destinos: Miniature sticker Gallery

Mil Destinos: Miniature sticker Gallery

I shrunk down these paintings into small miniature art gallery:

Each of these little reproductions are stickers. The intention is 

for the owners of the galleries to curate and organize your 

own Mil Destinos composition.

This was also a part of a collaborative effort in coordination with the artist William Schaff. We created a pre-order system to sell this combo artist package of:

-  A Rafael Tapia III mni art sticker gallery and 

- An original illustrated 12-month Calendar by William Schaff

Bay it Forward

Beautiful party people gettin' down for a cause.

 


I co founded this Bay area fundraising group,
bringing people together to party for a cause.
We are raising money for things in Oakland,
locally, internationally, pretty much anywhere
we can make a difference. This is 100%
volunteer / pro bono work for the cause.



This all started when my friend asked me to
help him promote this successful fundraising
event in September, 2017

I designed these fliers:

Tacos for Los Topos

11 x 17" Tabloid Flier

All together we raised and exciting $10,050 for
the all volunteer, earthquake 1st responders, in
Mexico, adequately dubbed, Los Topos! (the Moles)
- whose only requirement is that you have
a sense of resolve.

Much respect to these brave people

Mil Destinos

 I had a solo art show at VAMP, Vintage Music & Art for the People,
in August 2017. I had been wanting to do an art show at this small
neighborhood record store for a while. I was happy to take this
opportunity to create some new paintings and drawing as well as
generate some concepts for new work. Having a place like VAMP to
hang work is a great. The place is cozy. The neighborhood is friendly &
I've been hanging out with the owners, Fernando and Tracy for about
3-4 years. Since I moved to the Lake Merritt, Oakland area in 2013, I've
seen some of my favorite live music performances here.








 

  


  

Shout out to my friend & artist Jon Chao for coming through & helping me hang the show!!!

 

 

 

I had prints for sale and got lucky with this 

ground score of a wooden print rack

This is the typeface I used for the show flier. I have been working on developing this typeface for a few years.

This typeface is large and monumental for images to be placed inside of the letter shapes.
