These are some pieces i've done with Shin Tanaka that i never got around to posting. I missed out on designing a Gritty (, but i don't think i was ready at the time anyway) so i jumped at the chance to get in on the action this time.

"DRAGON!" MASK HOODY (series 2)
My original idea for the Gritty was to pay homage to Bruce Lee. When the MASK HOODYs were released i decided to use the same idea, but as it matured, the "dragon" idea became more interesting. However, i didn't want to stray too far away, so i kept the single stripe on the sleeves.

"Bees, boy!" SPIKY BABY (series 6)
At the time i was playing with making cuter faces. i was drawing small circles and smiles of varying sizes and in different positions to see what i got. After coming off the MASK HOODY, i wanted to do something completely free without a real concept. The title comes from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "eDork".


I got some original papercrafts in the works as well, so be on guard.

Brand New for the Summer

"the hypie" entry for Vektoria Magazine #10

Well, the break has begun and here is the first post of the summer. I got an internship and got the rude awakening every designer gets from working for "the man" as i understand it: Discovering that you're designing everyday for 8 hours. boring. But hey, beggars can't be choosers i guess

The Final Motion Graphics Post

So class has ended and I will be taking a brief hietas, but this blog will continue. That said, I'm leaving you with brand new links and never before broadcast videos and a slight revision to "The Material Things".

"The Material Things": View/Critique

Note: Before viewing, read synopsis.

Self-Critique
Given that this was done in a week, I didn't get to do all that i needed. I need to go back and ad in small constants such as the shirt and neck-tie which disappear toward the second half.

Class Critique
- Add more background layers; scenery
- "Rick" stays on the Beetle too long
- Animate the inanimate positions.
- Establish relationship between "Rick" and wife
- Motorcycle moves too slowly
- Play up the motorcycle
- Beef up the transition from Drama to Action

STARTDRAWING.org

Startdrawing.org is a site dedicated to highlighting the contemporary artists of Asia. However, if you're not Asian you can still take part. I designed a header for the site. (see above) look familiar?).

"RICKY BLACK"(working title): Synopsis/Concept

"... AND SANJAYA IS STILL THERE!!!"

This is the story of Ricky Black and his stolen Mustang. Apparently his wife's wedding ring has been stolen, but more importantly, his 1978 Shelby Mustang HAS BEEN PILFERED AS WELL!!! He must get it back, but will he make it in time?!

This piece is a piece about materialism. One of the things I found most interesting in my Blues research was this kind of "minimal" spirit. Most musician's i've read about and listened to live by a philosophy of having only what one needs; living with the bare essenstials with maybe a little extra on the side, but nothing excess. In this piece, I was thinking about the crazy stunts people do to attain wealth to the point of endangering themselves and others.
