Pegasus

I’m working on some caps right now that will feature metallic thread embroidering. These caps will be done on New Era fitted caps with wrap around graphics.

The whole idea is to have animal “book-ends” with their tails, wings, etc. wrapping around the whole cap.
So~ it starts off with sketches.

Then a refined pencil drawing

and finally the finish

Esley…

A couple of weeks ago I got contacted to create an identity for an upcoming female line. The owner described it as a cross between A&F and Bebe. He discussed possibly having imagery with an identifiable animal or some kind of flourish. Based upon what my client had said, I started sketching appropriate ideas.
In the end I provided a logotype as well as some vectorized imagery which he can use for different things - The first order of business being a florescent shop sign and a main label for jackets and hoodies.

Normandie and Venice

I noticed this nice piece of writing on my way back from work. Picture by me, writing by an inspired individual.

Doodle dee

I used to be doodling all the time, especially during lectures.

Sometimes the material was unconscious and a steady flow of good randomness would come out.

Other times I would draw out my thought process to whatever project I had to tackle.

And sometimes I would come up with what I would consider finished pieces.

I don’t get to doodle often nowadays so doodle while you can!!!

West 32nd Street

I was given an opportunity to work on some artwork for Michael Kang’s upcoming movie,
West 32nd Street.
So at first there were the quick sketches…

After discussing the concept and comps with Mike, I developed some of the sketches further resulting in a more defined look.

After looking at this round of comps, Mike decided to go with the direction of the last one. From there I did a rendered final. Looking at that version however made Mike and the producers want to see one with more color and photo-realistic portrayals. We sort of went on a journey of trials but in the end came to the second to last version.

After some discussion over the logline, we decided to keep it simple and leave out the graphics. Which brings us to the final poster. I may have to add some more logo’s here and there as they near release but more or less this is it.

Having said that I’m really excited for Mike and his career. If you didn’t catch his last movie, The Motel, you need to see it asap! Check out his website for further details.
