I be Collage'in

Finally getting down to doing some personal work, feels good! In total I've started 3 personal projects and got an email to do a freelance.

I'm working on some collage work and here's the start of the first one, "Sloth". I'm mostly a by hand kind of person, but I decided to do this on Photoshop for the mere fact I don't know how to make spider webs/cob webs by hand. I'm new at using Photoshop to do things like this but it does look good; it has a painted feel to it.

Anyway comments and advice would be greatly appreciated since I'm out of my element.

Something Old, Something New

Damn I've been slipping on these post.
Well rightfully so, I've been crazy busy earning a living and enjoying this thing people call EATING. I haven't been able to take on any work {person or freelance}. Now I have a window of time, so I'm taking it!

Something Old
1st Imagery Board is for Damn Giraffe. I started the thumbnails in July and that's as far as I got {like I said got crazy busy}. Now I'm back on it, crazy excited :)


Something New
The 2nd Imagery Board is part of a pitch for an Identity System for a macaron shop. And that's all the news fit to print about that that so.......

STAY TUNED.....................

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.

It's about to be a Girl Fight

The 3rd layer (Metallic Pantone plate) to my Elec Pre-Press postcard assignment. A textile of a bunch of Girl fights. LOL (It will probably make sense when you see the finished postcard)

My favorite one is the 2 girls stomping the girl on the ground!

I’m seriously considering making this an actual fabric and making a outfit.

Elec Pre-Press InDesign Exercise book

InDesign exercise for my Electronic Pre-Press class to show our knowledge of scanning, character & paragraph styles, type flow, and swatches.

A 10paged book that uses images from the Children’s book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum, with lyrics from “I’m just a girl” by No Doubt.



Click on the images to see the full spread.







I'll be working on this somemore I think. Knowing me I'm pretty sure I will be.

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.

an end to himself

A personal project I’m working on focusing on the Objectivism view of “the highest moral purpose is the achievement of his [mans] own happiness” and the word “SELFISHNESS”/ "every man must live as an end to himself and follow his own rational interest" as Ayn Rand sees it. Screenshots from 1959 film "Imitation of LIfe"

Jean Patou’s Joy

A project for Illustration 2 (now known as Concepts + Metaphors). A packaging redesign of Jean Patou's Joy perfume, which is considered the most expensive commercial perfume you can buy. For my redesign I wanted to gear the perfume to a younger crowd, so I thought more fashion editorial. I took one of the definitions of the word Joy (4. a state of happiness or felicity) and made is into a textile.




Later I added this print work that could be used as ads or the signs in the stores.

The Lost Collage

So last year I made this collage for a Women's shirt product line for the T-shirt and Skateboard Exhibition. I think I lost the actual collage and didn't have any record of it. Thank God that I was cleaning my hard drive out last night and came upon it.

Slide Library Virgins

I poster I did a while back that I just now found (I did it before I had my hard drive and had to put stuff on cds). Glad I found it

Customized Bottle Labels (The Process)

I got an email in late January (sorry I’m just now posting it) from a chick name Tia, who saw my orange soda bottle labels & wanted me to make some customized bottle labels for her, her cousin & their friend's Glitz & Glam Party.

I screen shot some of my process as I went along….


I hand drew all the elements, & put them in Illustrator. Kinda mad because I lost some details when I vectored the images.

*She doesn’t have a head cause I really couldn’t see her face details in the pictures that were given to me so I had to draw those later.



Started adding in text. The colors at the bottom are the colors for the party.



The layout of the almost finished label. Yes I did do those scribbles.



I colored them digitally (you can tell I’m still not good at that, but I use very little color anyway).

Sorry no images of the labels on the bottles I will post those when I can.

A bunch of Graphic collaging stuff

Just thought I should put this up. A collage poster assignment for my Graphic Design 2 Class I took this last semester, which lasted for like 2 months (or it seemed).

The assignment was to pick an area of the school’s library and make a poster about it using collage. I chose the MCAD Slide library.

Here’s the assignment in its stages. As you can see I used Richard Avedon (I LOVE THIS GUY!!).





I used this collage to cover my sketch book.
