HATCH Comics

2009-06-05T11:52:00.005-04:00

Well, HATCH seems to be shaping up quite well. These are business cards I designed for HATCH and they look quite nice! Thanks Kris for the awesome photos and ordering them all!
Go on over and visit our HATCH site or the HATCH Blog.

Watch out for updates on HATCH's Volume III coming later this summer! AND, a new redesign to the logo and look of HATCH!

I know I haven't posted most of my work up from this year but they'll be coming very soon! I've got a lot of things I want to do this summer and it has only just started.

HATCH Volume II

Here we go. with some minor edits, i think this has come a long way!

Insanity

2009-03-12T12:06:00.005-04:00

I feel I need to start posting about my process in design; more for myself and evaluating how critical I can or need to be about my work. After several weeks of intense analysis of type I realize how having a fortified development process for whatever I do is beneficial in all senses. Here are some lock ups of a new logo I'm working on for the International Rescue Committee:

Here, I'm trying to achieve maximum ledgability.
If you can tell the differences between these two,
I commend you.

Before I came down to using Franklin Gothic for the logo type, I went through hundreds of fonts and typefaces (as some of you have seen). This is the culmination of 5 weeks of research and its only the beginning!

Never Ever

2008-12-28T17:16:00.006-05:00

Here's a book I was working on that I am very pleased with. The assignment was to take a short story or poem and design a book with imagery and text. I chose A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings by Gabriel Marquez. I really missed drawing and illustration so I took it upon myself to create all the imagery by hand for this piece. The whole book consists of 11 spreads, but these are the ones I like most. I'm really disappointed in myself for not keeping up with my illustration work. I always feel like I have the potential, but I could never find the time to improve. Whenever I see really good work I tend to get a little too jealous. But I'm not the kind of guy to dwell on it. I just need to decrease my sleeping time to 3 hours a night, and get cracking!

That's what she said...

2008-12-28T16:53:00.006-05:00

After a long semester, I finally have something to show for it. And these are quite MASSIVE in size...

Here are some detail shots:

I think Screenprinting was one of my favorite classes this semester. Its the culmination of illustration, art, dirt, rotten egg stench, and graphic design. I think if I continue doing silkscreening I might actually stumble upon some great work! If anyone wants to join, feel free to give me a ring!

Update

2008-01-17T00:17:00.001-05:00

For those of you who are still reading this or are still interested in what I'm doing here's my schedule for the Spring semester:

It will be on the right under Schedule for future reference.

Macbook AIR!

2008-01-15T16:06:00.000-05:00

(Images from Gizmodo.com)

Yup. Apple's thinnest laptop has been unveiled. It's 0.76" thick, but it doesn't beat Sony's thinnest laptop which is 0.75" thick! For more info go check out Gizmodo.com. The "iPod Invisa" doesn't sound too farfetched now.

Lockers in Paris

2008-01-10T17:34:00.001-05:00

Here's a handful of things. Chronicles of my sketchbook if I may call it that. Not sure what to make of it all.

More to come as my vacation shortens and boredom lengthens. (I can't seem to put color images on blogspot anymore... >: O )

Printastic!

2007-12-19T20:49:00.000-05:00

After a quick semester I finally have some work to put up. I wish I had more time to print and perfect some of these, but there's only so much you can do in 3 short hours once a week...

Printmaking!

My zinc plate (which I like more than my prints)

My First print, without edits

My horrible attempt at printing correctly

My best woodblock prints

Digital Imagery Magazine Covers

Magazine spreads

I have more work to show, but that will be posted in the coming weeks. I'm just bracing myself for the Holiday rush!

Fishing for More

2007-11-06T23:05:00.000-05:00

To make up for the lack of posting, here's my most recent project that I'm sure I've shown most people. This was a contest to design a poster for FIT's Graphics Printing Lab. I know all rights go to them if it wins, but I'm not selling it. Here's the final without the information I needed to put on it: (click to enlarge for better viewing!)

Here's a close up

And here are some sketches prior to making the final:

Here is my rendition of the classic Taxi Driver movie poster: Its for my Digital Imagery class. I felt like it needed to be more plain than bloody because the movie was graphic enough.

Type Portraits

2007-10-24T10:21:00.000-04:00

Here are some crazy flash animations Janel found using type to create famous people. Its pretty awesome! Just click the link under each picture to view.

The new Radiohead album can be downloaded upon release date on October 10, 2007. The catch, you PAY AS YOU WISH (in Euros of course). When I first heard this, I was shocked and confused, but Radiohead is always doing something crazy and new. I guess you can do anything with fame these days.

W T F?

Across the Universe

2007-09-13T16:30:00.001-04:00

Across The Universe is a new film that is opening in select theaters tomorrow and nationwide on September 21st. Its a whimsical love story/musical that takes place in the 60's and incorporates the best of the Beatles. The trailer is on my previous post, it doesn't show off much of the film's whimsicalness, but check out the movie website for some previews! I really want to see it, anyone want to come with?

Also in theaters this week and next, will be Helvetica. Its a documentary about the ubiquitous typeface and the designers and people who use it. A must see for designers and gosh darn curious people. Open for 2 weeks only! I wish to see this as well!!

2007-09-13T15:59:00.001-04:00

I am quite excited about this movie. Beatles plus whimsical filming equals love.

Sylar as Spock?

2007-08-28T19:56:00.000-04:00

Look familiar? Well thats Spock from Star Trek, AND he's being played by Zachary Quinto, or better known as:

SYLAR from NBC's hit show HEROES. Honestly, I wished he just stayed evil and play Sylar. He better saw off someone's head in the new Star Trek movie or else!

WHAT!? (Updated)

2007-08-27T09:37:00.000-04:00

Here's a little device for you geeks out there. This is the new Logitec MX Air Mouse. Yes thats right, an air mouse. Think of it as a remote control for your PC, or a black Wiimote that controls your cursor. You basically hold it in your hand and move it around while the sensors inside detect its movement in 3-dimensions instead of 2. So there are "new" possibilities for programs to include movements of going back and forth, and up and down. I can't help but think this will make a lot of customers really tired. But it includes all the functions of a regular mouse minus the mouse pad. It also includes a Volume button, a Back button, and a Menu button. The price tag is unknown, but if you want to work that right arm of yours while browsing the internet everyday, grab one!

Its about 9:40 am and I'm in the computer lab at school. The first day of the new semester has begun and it seems like my professor decided to take the day off. I'm pretty pissed that I had to wake up at 6 this morning to get to class. However, the free time has allowed me to browse through FIT's new system. They seemed to have gotten all upgraded iMacs, not to mention the Adobe CS3 Creative Suite! Its completely awesome. To my surprise, Adobe has bought Macromedia, so they've included Flash, Dreamweaver and a variety of other new programs. I've been drooling over the new stuff all morning, and I think I will be getting the new Creative Suite.

The Master Edition is a whopping $2500!

However, list price is about $1799! But for us students, we can get it at a hefty $389! That includes CS3 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Flash, Dreamweaver, Bridge and a few other programs. I think thats a bargain in my book! If some of you are interested I can purchase the suite through FIT and we can all share... or... I may have some sources for getting it for free! Hit me up if you guys are interested!

Summer is Over!

2007-08-26T17:08:00.001-04:00

Here is my new schedule for the Fall Semester if you guys are interested. It'll be linked onto the right navigation bar.

I've been working on this on and off for a few weeks now, and I feel like I've exhausted my possibilities of making it any better. So I will call this completed and I'll move on with my life.

The Office NEW Season

Ban Water! and "My son is named @"

2007-08-16T14:50:00.001-04:00

Penn and Teller is awesome.

Recently in China, a couple named their newborn son @. Yes, they named their son after the symbol used in your e-mail. I don't know if this is a good step forward in using symbols in names... or just plain ridiculous. "Hi my name is @ Chan!"

Back in the Groove

2007-08-10T16:20:00.001-04:00

Almost a whole summer has past and I haven't done anything artistic besides hoping the colors of my basement walls will match. This little doodle was done on Illustrator CS2. Just trying to get my graphic juices flowing again. Like most of my work, this is a work in progress. I was trying to see the possibilities of using a logo in an artistic sense. And it seems like everything I do can possibly get me sued...( (c)2007 Linkin Park Logo). The piece started like this:

Tornado Anyone?

2007-08-08T10:35:00.000-04:00

UPDATE: 5:30 p.m. The local news and weather analysts confirmed that a tornado did hit in the Bay Ridge Area of Brooklyn. It was a F-2 or F-3 class tornado with 100- 200 mph winds. The highest class is F-5 with 300+ mph winds. Luckily no one was severely injured.

After falling asleep at 3 a.m. this morning, I was abruptly awoken by the biggest thunder storm I've seen this year. Hot and sticky, I couldn't fall back asleep at 6 in the morning, so I popped open my t.v. to listen in on the storm report. Around 6:40 a.m. there was a tornado warning over Brooklyn. I watched the circle move over the screen indicating the tornado in the atmosphere. right when it got over my part of Brooklyn, it got really dark and quiet for a moment. OH SHIT! The trees bent sideways outside and I ran to get everyone into the basement. When it blew over, this was the scene outside:

My backyard fence was blown over. That board was held with thick wire...All the chairs and some of the gutter laid in ruinsThe neighborhood cat decided to rummage through the
rubble in my front yardWalking my sis to the trainstation

The fence bordering the school was completely blown over

Every 3 steps was a tree branch on the ground

The black thing on the side of the school is actually
a piece of roofing from across the street

A little bit of chaos in the train station and in Bay Ridge, where most
of the trees there are on the ground

I think Al Gore might be on to something about global warming...

HEROES!

2007-08-06T23:56:00.000-04:00

One of my favorite shows is coming back SEPTEMBER 24, 2007!!!! Mark your calendars! The show will air at its normal time Monday nights at 9pm, and will be online for your replaying pleasure! The first season is also coming out on DVD August 28th! I would die to get my hands on that box set! I also watched the Comic Con 2007 panel for Heroes in which many of the stars sat down to answer questions! It is seriously funny, seriously informative, and seriously long! The videos are up on Youtube, but are sectioned into about 7 parts! You can catch the whole panel here (thanks goaliejedi35!) There is also a video with the preview of Season 2 floating around on Youtube, but the quality is not to die for! I'm so excited that every sentence needs to end with and exclamation!!! I CAN'T WAIT!! I now have something to live for!

Here are some links to get you pumped!:

Adventures in 'Nowhere Land'

2007-08-04T23:55:00.000-04:00

For the past few Saturdays, I've been visiting Queens with my family. My sis has been seeing an acupuncturist who 'many' 'claim' to be 'good.' So while waiting for my sis to get stabbed, and cupped with small glasses that leave a hickey mark, I took the opportunity to take some photos. However, this is all I got:

Besides the scorching heat and mundane similarities, Queens did provide some amusement for this curious Brooklynite!

Only in Queens will you find corn stalks growing on the sidewalk.

And the corn doesn't even look too great...

Big cups of noodles on edifices are a plus!

And apparently A Vegetable is a popular Tiwanese cuisine.

This is a giant billboard on the bridge overhang on Main Street. It made me sigh and chuckle at the same time...

(I found the desert photo on google somewhere, so don't sue me!)

Artsy Farmers

2007-07-30T17:41:00.001-04:00

2007

Each year farmers in Aomori, Japan grow crop art from their rice fields. Every year they grow a different image and pattern. They plant purple and yellow leaved plants in certain areas to create the images. Some are grown skewed so it will appear normal at eye level. This beats crop circles any day! You can see more here.

2006

In other news, The Kowloon Emperor has passed away recently. His last artwork lies beside him on his death bed. His work is being photographed and collected for display in Russia(?). I've researched his work and his life so it saddens me to see him pass. Even though he may be crazy, he was always popular with the residents of Kowloon and street artists of the world.

Siren Festival!

2007-07-22T01:30:00.001-04:00

This year's Siren Festival was a disappointment compared to last years. There were little free swag, and not too many major bands. However there were some high points and good photo opportunities! I'm glad I saw We Are Scientists up close.

The Black Lips:

We Are Scientists:

Simpsons!

2007-07-10T21:54:00.000-04:00

There's Simpsons fever going around! Now you can make your own Simpsons avatar on their movie website. They've really outdone themselves promoting the new movie. I just hope its going to be great with all this hype!

Converse?

2007-07-03T20:45:00.000-04:00

I recently bought a pair of bootleg Converses. They fit better and is a whole lot more comfortable than real Converses. They also cost half the price too! I've been working on adding a few touches here and there. Here's the progress:

While shopping for shoes I noticed the Converse Product(Red) campaign. I must say, that their new line of (Red) shoes are rather attractive. The way they use text all over their shoes is refreshing. Not many shoe companies use text for designs. Here are some of my favorites:

The Cellar

2007-06-27T23:58:00.000-04:00

For the past week and a half I've been painstakingly cleaning and throwing away junk in my basement. I want to create a more livable space down there. I've been wanting to do clean it out and "renovate" it for a few years but never found the time to. But with an extra long summer, and no job (sucks) I've started to push the start button. It ceases to amaze me how many plastic bags, paper bags, plastic rice bags, handbags, and a wide assortment of other containers my family has collected over the years. They probably number in the thousands. I don't even want to mention bags of cloth... But there has been progress with the project.

This is what it looked like as of Monday. I hope it will turn out something like this (but with better color and perspective):

There's also a big mold problem that called for a Super Macro Photo moment:

On a personal note, I've been stressed from work on this project as well as people. I wanted to take a break from society, but it keeps pulling me back in. Its a confusing and uncomfortable feeling. I need to get away, yet I need to talk to someone. And problems, no, situations are just building up and no one is willing to give in. I guess when you grow older, you notice more of the bad sides of people than the good, which really sucks. Things get too complicated and someone has to un-complicate them...

Floating on Bamboo

2007-06-27T21:59:00.001-04:00

I haven't posted anything important in a while. Mostly because I was busy and needed a break from "society." I will post up my progress on my projects soon. For the time being:

I was cleaning my basement and while using some newspapers to cover the floor, I stumbled upon this article. The photos caught my eye (I can't read Chinese). According to my mom, it was a competition held in China to celebrate a technique used by the Red Army in the 50's. Using one or two long sticks of bamboo, people were able to appear like they were walking on water. They used it to cross rivers and the like. However, now with communism on the decline this technique has become more of a sport and practice of balance. Pretty damn cool if you ask me.

New Camera!!

2007-06-10T19:07:00.001-04:00

I got my new camera today! As a long time SONY supporter, I have lost all hope and trust in most of their products. Hopefully Olympus will fulfill my needs! This is the Olympus SP-550 UZ. It has 18x zoom, Super Macro, and 7.1 megapixel capabilities and many more shooting modes! I'm really happy and excited to use this ROCK. So excited I already overdosed on photos:

KoK Book Progress

2007-04-25T21:15:00.000-04:00

After a week of procrastinating on the King of Kowloon book I have this to show:

I've been feeling pretty dull recently, and I think I need to spice this blog up. Its too serious, so...
"RICHARD! GO!"

in celebration of the release of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl!! Gotta Poach'em All!

Moped/Vespa Concept

2007-04-19T23:18:00.000-04:00

During some boring hours of class, I conjured this piece of curiosity up:

I was going for a more futuristic looking moped/Vespa utilizing triangular forms.

King of Kowloon

2007-04-16T01:13:00.000-04:00

The "King of Kowloon." This man is amazing, even though he may be a little crazy. Tsang Tsou Choi is an 83 year old "caligraphy graffiti" artist who lives in Hong Kong. He writes on any surface he finds, claiming he is the King or Emperor of Kowloon (a region in Guangdong, Hong Kong). He is a really interesting man. I am working on a book showcasing some of his works and his story. This is the cover so far:

Experiments

2007-04-09T00:30:00.000-04:00

This was an experiment I used to make a brochure. The goal was to use multiple mediums to create a design. I wanted to use traditional methods with some help from computers. Ink on paper rearranged in Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2.

Work in Progress

2007-04-06T12:09:00.000-04:00

This was created in Illustrator CS2. The project was to create a simple stamp design. I wanted to see how much I can do with Illustrator and this is what came out. It is still a work in progress...

Foundation II Posters

2007-04-04T20:33:00.000-04:00

These are poster designs utilizing only text. The subject is pretty obvious. I had little fun working on these, but I'm proud of the printed versions.
