Not Much

Not much work to display right now, but here's something old and fun.

Printastic!

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 ImageryMagazine 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

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.

Ho

This is a on class assignment to self-promote ourselves for an "ad agency."

Here are some things I've been lulling over with my time at school:

Ad series for promoting travel to the U.S. using Humor, Surrealism, and Time

Advertisement utilizing fine art.

Postcard series for mock exhibition:

(the other two postcards were screwed up by blogspot)

Some drawings coming soon for all you traditional artists.

Back in the Groove

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:

KoK Book Progress

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!

King of Kowloon

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:

Work in Progress

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...

More Posters!

More posters from Foundation Class. All done with Adobe Illustrator CS2. The goal of this project was to take photos of modern skyscrapers and buildings and incorporate them into an engaging poster design.

Foundation II Posters

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.
