Geisha & Scarecrow...BOO!

This is a picture of my boyfriend and I at a costume party last week. I'm a geisha and he's the scarecrow from the movie The Batman Begins (I made the mask!). We had a good time, but I got sick at the party so I couldn't really enjoy some fun drinking time...that's okay though since it was just fun dressing up. :)

The Plazm Collector's Box

This was added to my wish list in a swish! There are only 50 boxes
available so hopefully I'll have the extra money very soon so I can
get my hands on one of these since I currently have none of their
issues or any physical collectibles. It would make my day!

"Plazm is an award-winning design firm led by creative
director Joshua Berger."

GEOMETRIC vs ORGANIC life

I just finished creating a t-shirt design for the Design By Humans
10k T-shirt Design Contest
! I'm designing it for my
boyfriendin hopes that I win and I'll give him the
money for school. :)

I tired to get a simple concept since I was short
on time.The whole idea I wanted to present was
a contrast between organic and geometric, but not
a huge contrast so each side looks somewhat similar
to each other. I personally don't like over-sized
prints on t-shirts like this, but after researching
Design by Humans website I found that the audience
seems to be very much into this style so I went
ahead and played with that.

Taking the Pass (Fjord Rowboat)

Here's a music video I participated in for my boyfriend's friend.
Yes, this is how I look more or less...even though I'm actually
older than 18 ( just add 5 more years and you got it). Check out
more of his video work on
Youtube.

8/14/08: "New at Pentagram"



Ascenders

Currently I've been working on creating a logo for a local band called Ascenders.
These are some ideas I have so far. I'm refining 3 of them to help the band decide
on a final one. Their favorites so far are: 3, 6, 7. Color possibilities will be added
in this next stage. I should have them done by tomorrow (the refines) so you all
will see the next stage soon!

Handmade Chinese Box & Chopsticks Holder Set

I made these during my first year at art school. They were very time
consuming to make...VERY! Each box (not including the handmade
gold chains) took about 2hrs to make, once I got the procedure flow
down. This was my first touch on creating packaging comps. I will
take actual classes focused just on packaging design real soon.
