October 16th

I will have available on October 16th, Sample Images ready to be sent out in the form of a Zine. Art Directors, who requested them will get them several days after Oct. 16th, and those who request them later on shall receive them as well.

Above is the cover of the Illustration Sampler Zine.

I am available for Face To Face Meetings with any clients in the New York Metropolitan.

Sample

I've gotten a few requests from potential clients to send in some samples these past two or three months. I have been trying to figure out a way to design something significant and memorable for a client to hold on to. For the past 3 weeks I have been designing and redesigning zines with images enclosed. It seems a bit unprofessional I think that I didn't just send something for the clients to look at right away, but I figured that I much rather make sure whatever I sent them looks right before I just send something.

Above is a title type thinger I designed for a zine I think I am going
to scrap.

Beauty in what we see

Just a crop in of something to come.

Rituals of Life - Proximity Gallery

"Rituals of Life" 11"x14" Acrylic on Shaped Wood Panel.

Here is my submission for the DIA DE LOS MUERTOS show at Proximity Gallery. I wanted to focus on the religious aspect of the holiday and how it brings people closer to those who have passed on. I had alot of discussion back and forth with my room mate, Rachel about the piece so that it would read well and clear enough to get the idea across I was going for.

It's Never Sunny in South Philadelphia

Another cool shirt illustration/design I did for The Wonder Years, a super cool Philly based Pop Punk band. Though the name of the shirt is similar to the tv show, its was actully going to be a song title for their split album with UK pop punk band All or Nothing. So instead of Its original song title it became "Don't open the Fridge!".

True story.

Success and Failure: Summer of Book binding

This summer, I took an independent study class at Harrisburg Area Community College with Professor Shawn Williams to further explore an area of interest I have. Book making/Binding.

I have learned a thing or two this summer about making books and printing for books like, its hard to hold detail in a screen printed image when its originally made for 8x11 and up and you print it in a 4"x4" area. None the less, even though the printing is not all that to be wowed by, the fact that I made my first printed book is an exciting experience. This is something that I plan on continuing and exploring so that I can then become a book maker.

Below is a close up to one of my favorite pages.

A few neat kudos
