D's Bday Poster



So I made this Poster for my
Hijado's Bday in March. My sis
finally got him to put it up.

He turned 8. He is an absolutely
amazing kid. I always have fun
when I visit and come back
with great quotes from him.
That's him about to wreck some
'ish in the fatigues above.

Drink & Draw Social: Noir @ the Secret Alley

Thanks to Dan Vee for reminding me about this event:

I was at home in Oakland figuring out what to do Friday
when I got the call and clamored to get to the city to get
my Drink n’ Draw on (I was there in 45 minutes). This
was a really cool event in a really cool studio space: The













This is my favorite:
The props in the space were amazing.
and some artist gave the model the eye-patch.


This lady played amazing cello during the model break.

Blacklight Parlay


I just got done with the first version of this Flier for a Blacklight Parlay being thrown in San Francisco in August. I need to make some changes "sex it up" this is a little - maybe pretty artsy for a clubin' gig. we will see how I can proceed from here. Maybe it could be a bit more simple.

With that said, I enjoy this version. This is a photo-collage from images I have taken of the Golden Gate Bridge and my obsession with various clouds and cloud formations. There is a definite magic about this piece.

Re-imagining NAU: crest / coat of arms.

In the Spirit of T-shirt designs.
Here is a design for a hoodie I put together.
It was cool to get a print out of it.

This idea has to do with Northern Arizona University's
School pride which stems from it's location in the city of
Flagstaff, Arizona.

If you don't know too much about Flagstaff it is located
7,000ft above sea level, nestled in the shadow of the San
Francisco peaks. The climate is very distinct from the rest
of the state of Arizona, in that it experiences all four seasons
of the year, including snow. lots of snow.

Flagstaff was established upon the lumber industry.
The mascot for NAU is the Lumber Jack. That explains
the first design with the axe. The second has to do with
the large crows local to the area. Big beautiful birds.
Seemed appropriate for the medieval style coat of arms.





The final result was a tone-on-tone metalic black ink on a dark grey hoodie:
