There is a thumbnail a few posts back showing this type in the concept stage.
This is the finished rendering and I am now working on a few ways to showcase it.
This seems to be the retro porn star look ?
I dunno. Good learning experience though.
and it is to be added into the adidas book for sure.

BIG AS THE SKY !!

I did a quick render of some type.
I wanted to get into the mood for a poster that says "My Love is Big as the Sky."
I think I am getting what I want here.
And yea .. It was also to cheer up a friend.

I AM THE GREATEST !!!

Well not quite.
BUT !!
I will get there ... self proclaiming prophecies.
I went to an art show today and I realized or atleast I think I realized why people fail at art. Or perceivable fail. I mean art is not a race, sure there are winners and we would all love to come in first. But it is about love.
Love the art you do and it will be noticed.
Love the art you do and you will excel so tremendously it will overwhelm you.
Love what you do and never stop growing.
Anyways .. heres the update .. I think it is finally coming along.
It is the sketch for an ALI poster.

I did a poster a long time ago that was to be printed on a t-shirt.
I never got around to doing it because I didn't feel like it was finished enough to be printed. So now, a year later I am attacking it again and I have some direction going.
Here is a sample of where I am.

WE MAKE IT EASY WE MAKE IT FUN

There was a designer that did something like a set of these a little while back.
Do not want to offend but when I find out who he was in my archives I am definitely going to link the inspiration. But I heard this phrase and I thought this is what life should be.
EASY.
FUN.
So this can be finished.. ugghh .. I don't know.
I feel like it is missing stuff and I will add more to it.

HEART'S STARS !

I think I am actually comfortable with the result of these two posters. Not too bad for a first time. I cannot figure out which one I like more though.
But then again, these are not for me. So make your requests and you shall get either one.
I hope they print well !

ALL DAY I DREAM OF ADIDAS ...

and socks and sweats and stripes.
Three to be precise. I have started a project that is based on a relationship with adidas. It will be a book with some photography and illustration primarily by myself but with the help of the "to be great photographer" .. Joe Le.
It seems like something fun to do !
And this is something to kick it off .. Ain't it Grand !!

SCRIBBLE

First another scribble.
Got a whole bunch more to scan .. some design .. some simple illustration..
Still trying to decide what I want to label myself as. It seems that there is no room for "jack of all trades". But there are no complaints as long as I can create.
It is the greatest act of love !!

Oh and I cannot wait. I want me some Malcolm X frames. Or something similar.
RELEASE THE INNER GEEK !!



Star People

I am so grateful to have have met the people I have.
They will all hold a special place in my heart .. some A LOT more than others .. but stars none the less.
This is a poster for them all ..
Thank you.

on a technical note .. some of highlights need to be fixed. There are some colour issues that need addressing and also some depth in the actual space cloud.
Shall be addressed soon. This took forever to render.

Inspired by Penguin

0 Comment
I started reading this book called Wizard of Earthsea published by Penguin Books.
Really impressive story with a message that I cannot help but feel resonate with me. It goes something like ..
"A man, who, knowing his whole true self, cannot be used or possessed by any power other than himself, and whose life therefore is lived for life's sake and never in the service of ruin, or pain, or hatred, or in the dark."
Really inspiring little book.
So I sketched.
Nothing major right now just a concept of Dorothy. I find when I want to relax from design I delve into comic books. And I have been inspired by french illustration. I am tweaking the style a bit. I feel a little more liberated drawing this way. I find that when I draw trying to force the realism, I lose the fun of the illustration. I think I am starting to find a comfort zone that I am in a complete state of non-compromise.

I also picked up some Jeff Jones and I was instantly hooked.
I feel this is going to be a beautiful couple days of inspired illustration.

Sketch by a friend who isn't an artist. I don't know if this a true tag to place on a person because the age old question is "What is art?"
All I know is that I find this to be a beautiful characterization of myself.
It captured the entire mood and look I felt that day. And this was done with a claim that he had never been able to draw a person before.
It is perfect.
I love it.

Yes well ..

Type experiment .. getting in touch with the liquid form.
I have been greatly inspired by Alex Trochut. To the point where now I am motivated by type posters. I find this idea of taking meaningful expressions of my self and presenting it to the world exhilarating. I only hope that I can present it as amazingly as I feel.
