Binary Opposition Postcards

An assignment for my Elec Pre-Press class. Exploration of how the printing process itself can contribute to the meaning of your design and to understand “binary oppositions”.

My postcard represents my hometown of Houston,TX and the division between Southside Houston (woman in red) and Northside Houston (woman in blue).
And my love for vintage female wrestler pictures.



Black Layer: Lyrics from "Chunk up the Deuce" by: Lil Keke (Houston based rapper) represents the fact that we're all pride about being from Houston.



Silver Layer: Just cause I could I made a textile of a bunch of gang girl fights
(C. Silver layer will interact with all 4 layers separately. This layer can conceptually relate to your previous concept, or completely ignore it. This layer is primarily for formal exploration and will be hard to visualize before we actually see it on press)


Surprise prints! Seeing what happens when we turn off the different plates







If you would like some please let me know. You can see more on my Flickr page as well.

One of my Dream Shoes

Sometime ago I did this pattern for a kids back to school product line. It’s really not my style but I really like this textile a lot.

So I wanted to see how the textile would look on a pair of Vans since I’ve been looking for some but not liking any I’ve found.

Illustrations for Stationary Set

Some illustrations I did for my stationary set of Alice in Wonderland using my giraffe, Antonio Juan for my final in Illustration and Product. Along with the textiles at bottom I’ll be turning them into actual products. Hopefully soon.

Skateboard and T-shirt Exhibition

So during the month of March and April my skateboard and t-shirt design were up at the Tea Garden (Minneapolis in March and the one in St. Paul in April). This is the opening of the exhibition in March.


Both designs are two separate style identities of may brand, “Damn Giraffe”. With the skateboard you have the CITY/STREETS and the t-shirt you have the ART GLAM.

Untitled Illustration Design

One of my favorite illustrations. It shows my illustration style the best. Simple, sketchy line work, white background, with color here and there.



I use this illustration in many design applications, here are two.
