artamata logo design

We went with the top one. Could be more conceptual, but, it's interesting I suppose. Painted brush strokes by hand, scan, live trace, lightly fluff, and serve.

t-shirt design non profit

This is a t-shirt I designed for my buddy Steve and the team he is going with on a missions trip to Uganda. The proceeds from the shirt sales will help fund their trip.

performing arts poster

This poster has been on display a while, but I've been forgetting to take a picture. Well, now that I finally did, feel free to take a look. I don't know how much longer it will remain up at CSUF, but you can look at it there too, in all its 14.5" x 26" glass encased glory.

character design

I haven't done one of these in a LOOOOONNGGG time. At least not a serious one since I switched from animation to graphic design. So, over spring break, I figured I would put some of the watercolor and illustration techniques I've learned over the past several semesters to use on some leisure art. The pose is a little stiff...something I still struggle with, but overall, I'm happy with the results. I may do some more down the road...should time permit it.

gcac/csuf seasonal exhibition posters

This is a twin set of posters for grand central art center/ cal state fullerton art galleries. The two fragmented posters will be printed on semi-transparent vellum/parchment and are designed to be able to be displayed individually. However, when placed one over the other, they form the complete image. The motif of the face is derived from art nouveau and pop art which are two of the shows featured during this season ..."redefining the line" and "what's the rush?"

remi boucher classical guitar 2nd comp

This one is a bit more conservative. the other one was a bit too much like a "Saw" movie poster.

practicum book spreads

These are spreads for an art book me and a team of three other graphic design students are working on in practicum. These spreads include two cover comps (one being a slightly revised and cleaner version of what last semester's class worked on in preparation for this book). Also, there is a chapter division page, essay page, and basic layout page. These, of course, are prototypes, which will be submitted as possible templates. Let me know what you think.

Website

Hey everyone, my web portfolio is now up. Unlike my blog, this site's layout has been designed by me, and features only my portfolio quality work. It is split into three sections: design, illustration, and painting. I still have a few kinks to work out, namely, removing the Godaddy banner that keeps ruining the proper layout of the page, but until then, if you are interested, go check it out.

Another Smoking Painting

Smoking painting

Smoking has always been a major stumbling block for me. If I get a whiff of it, or get really stressed out, I feel that it too often becomes a big temptation. (I smoked about a half pack a day for over 5 years and quit about a year and a half ago) Thus, in light of this I created this painting. I'm working on another piece to complement it, which looks at smoking on the global scale which will be posted soon. In the meantime, enjoy.

CD Packaging XTREME

I built this out of basswood strips and 1/8" birch plywood. I then put an African mahogany veneer over the top. "Rebelution" is spray paint stencil. and the leaves are a handmade paper adhered to the surface of the wood. The cover slides out, then rotates, revealing the sleeve containing an accordion fold booklet.

waterverf nummer twee, drie, vier, vijf, en zes

I still have to do some work on just about all of these, but here they are anyway.

CD packaging comp 1

I'm going to build the case out of wood. The type on the front, I'll spray stencil. The leaves and song list will be wheat pasted with newsprint or handmade paper. I think I'll stain the reggae stripes.

Another bag

This is the second bag. It started off as a joke...a bag designed for sandpeople from Star Wars. However, after much consideration and 6 hours of labor actually making the bag, I decided not to be stupid and make something worthwhile and constructive. I even shot it at a classic "myspace" angle to make it look approximately 152% better than it does in real life. (no not really). All nonsense aside, please tell me what you think.

waterverf nummer een

First illustration for Cramp. Love it, Hate it, despise it from the bowels of your soul, let me know.

Painting for the Church

I did this in my drawing & painting class, but it is for my church. The idea is clear, but I'm about 80% satisfied with the composition itself. My biggest gripe is that the cross doesn't stand out enough.

Shopping Bag Mach 2

These are the supercomps for the second version of the shopping bag. I made the stencils on the computer, but the entire bag was done with spray paint...no printing involved.

graffiti shopping bag

This is my comp for a graffiti shopping bag. the front of the bag will be shaped like a spray paint can. The black face will be cut out, so the bag can also be used as a graffiti stencil. Also, the shop name "tagrz" will not be printed but spray painted on with a stencil itself...anyway tell me what you think.
