Personal Sketchbook

Some pages from my sketchbook. Lots of imperfection, but I ought to start somewhere.

Wannabe Moments

The moment when you squeeze your fist tightly and whisper longingly to yourself "I wishhhh I could do that!". Been having few of those lately thanks to these folk:

Chossid Gone Hipster Prints

At last, Arch Design House has printed the Chossid Gone Hipster posters! It came after some requests from facebook fans, and we now have the beautiful posters in hand. This is the first screenprint we've done and we used the incredible printing service of mamas-sauce.com. They've been a pleasure to work with from start to finish, even though we had a few major bumps in the road. I chose them mostly because of their very informative FAQ section on their site that explains their various printing processes, color, paper and how to set up files for print—allowing me to speak the same language and make knowledgeable decisions. 

Exploring Illustration

Currently playing around with hand-drawn sketches and tracing them in illustrator with the pen tool, followed by photoshop for the texture. How do I think I did? For the bow and arrow, I love the concept but don't think the design is strong enough on its own. And if I were to touch it up, I'd make the text all go in the same direction (the way I initially had it, before aiming to be user friendly :). For the Tune In poster, I really like the way it came out and how the colors balance out the overly buoyant design. I'm not crazy about the typography but it's good for starters.

Chossid Gone Hipster

Went illustrator happy with this one. Some of the illustrations are based off of icons from thenounproject.com, a great resource for basic black and white vector icons. Here's a little video about the noun project.
