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......
