Layout designing

Just working on a type III assignment, putting together a catalog for a made up show. Also, my beardie is helping me out.

New Projects

Got some fun projects this year,

going to be doing some event identity work, posters and ads etc.
also have a 2d animation I'm working on, simple flash one.

I am also going to be putting together parts for a small magazine, theme of which is creative / alternative culture. It's gonna have interviews with artists, coverage of local galleries, still working on what else (open to suggestions).

I have a few other big works coming up, but those are more of a surprise and I am still working on the details for them...

Warehaus Test Poster

Got bored and made a thing.

Warehaus is my studio idea, corrupting existing art ideas and genres, mashing them together and committing overall blasphemy.

Glitch: Vector Experiment 1

Test of a concept for my Glitch series.

Since when was is June?

Damn, summer hit quick.....


So, I haven't got much to update right now. My camera with files on it is at a different apartment >.<


But I have mostly been working on a massive research project anyways.

I am going to be researching activism and activist art. I will end up looking at various movements of art and activism, how they used different media for political means. The influences on the movements and what came after them will also be important. Another thing I plan to look into is just how powerful the movement was, as a lot of movements today are far reaching I want to come up with some reasons why from an art standpoint.

This project will also be producing some original works too so I can't wait for that part.



Only other work coming up is some graffiti on girls stuff for a contest. I should have some rough work up this or next week though.

Final Poster for GD II

Glitch: Visual Design Unit

Final work for a design project this semester,
making a poster for a fake show.

   

GD Mock Show Posters

Couple works from my design class this year. They are for a fake show at Umass.

Surrealist Experiment

Quick experiment in surrealism. I did some meditating and relaxing, then picked up a pen and blank printer paper with my mind blanked, and just drew. This is called "automatic drawing". I did not think of anything while drawing for about 10-20 minutes. Then I took the picture, uploaded it to the computer and created a piece based around it incorporating the drawing. I want to rework it at some point, but this is a little preview.

First Storyboard

Its about a small delivery bot I made up

who has to make his delivery

before it's too late.

I still have work to do on it,

but so far happy with design.

Some Fun n' Shit

Back to uploading.

It's near the end of the semester, been a long one.

Got some new projects coming up, and some things I will be uploading.


I had to design a 7 spead zine for type,
a couple animations for digital media
and random stuff for design.

I have not gotten as much done personally as i wish,

but hopefully that is changing soon


Also have a very large project coming up, technically for honors,
it will be all culture jamming.

Random Design Update

Getting moving on end-of-semester projects for Design. Some little digital bits:

 

All of the above were made with

only open source software.

.

.

.

I use Ubuntu- and for these works,

Gimp, and Inkskape

 

Creation Video

This was the final piece for a design course,

my first real attempt at video editing or creation, done in photoshop.

its a vaguely surreal work, based on the works of Hans Bellmer.

Wet On Wet

Type and Graphic Upload

Hey, 

Some quickie works i haven't had time to upload for a while:

Just Sh It.

Based on some disturbing riot shields i saw online

this one is more a quick test of an idea,

i want to try messing with some

typeface manipulation

and possibly design...

These are mostly rough quick works...

Semester is over and ill be posting recent works soon.

I have schemes....

Work on Phyred Magazine

So, I've been working on this for a while and it's finally starting to take shape.

As part of a graphic design class, I am finally putting together a copy of Phyred as a magazine.
It's going to be a creative culture magazine, although the first issue is going to be about the creation of the magazine itself...

So far I have a lot of notes, thumbnails, and headaches. But it's starting to produce some actual results in the form of templates and roughs of pages. Here's a couple quickies.

Some New Digital Works

Between being in a Graphic Design class, a Typography one, and Digital Media, as well as making a magazine.....theres been some random experimenting with digital work again. This is something I should have been doing all along, but I'm just starting to spool up the engines after a long period of half-assin it.

This last ones still got a lot of work left to do...

but im kinda stuck on what to do to it.

Spray Can sculpture

Been working on this thing in sculpture. Making a scaled up spray paint can from steel n stuff. Getting to play with mig welding and an acetalene torch. Can't wait to finish this piece.

Some digital works

Just a quickie post of some recent works. Will be more to come, just loading these for now.

New Semester....New schemes.....

Got another fun-filled semester ahead. Classes include Digital Media, Graphics Design, a Typography class and Sculpture/Fabrication.


Digital Media: Rehash of a lot of my GDesign work from high school and generic screwing around...still..... it'll be good to learn some new techniques and practice more. I need to get back into cranking out work in all media regularly.

Graphic Design: Intro course. I managed to up my credits for it (hopefully) but ill have to do more work. Its ok, more stuff to put in a portfolio. First project? Pretty much a repeat of my first high school GD assignment. Prolly gonna experiment in free class-time.

Typography: FUUUUUUUUU-/ Seriously. I just have a lot of bad experiences with "typographers". Not all of them are stuck-up elitist pricks, but unfortunately many i have met are. Which sucks because this class has potential to carry over to my graffiti and I also think I could teach some of the kids the free-styling aspect and that some of them could help me tighten up my standard letters. I'll just have to hope for the best. First project? Hand drawing and tracing letters of the "Clarendon" typeface. Pics to come.

Sculpture: Schedules right after type for a reason. Its an awesome stress reliever and it feels great to be working with my hands again. First piece I am making? A Pyro-worthy Ax, hand-carved from various woods using really old tools and techniques.


PLACES: its not one of my classes, but it is the club I am VP of. Itll be a fun year with this. Got plenty of workshops and lessons lined up and several rituals, basically once a week. Also hoping to get some photo-ops with that.



Got a shitton of other things going on to, but I think this is enough of my headspace for now//

Awesome summer job

So, for fun during the summer i work with a security company at the comcast center. last week, i got to work IDentity Fest.


This meant that i was chilling at the barricade, back almost on the speakers, standing between the audience and face-melting bass from Excision.


I got paid to jump in front of a bass-cannon.


Other acts were Eric Prydz, Nosia and Gartner along with others.


Now to find a video of Excision that shows me chilling there......
