Promo Weekly Cover

WHEW!! Finished.. with the cover, that is. I still have some spreads to do -_- but I think those will be easier. I could've made it easy on myself and just used some stock Photos but... when I see an opportunity to draw I take it! Peep the candy necklace and bracelet on the afrochick, haha. Gangsta!

Promo Weekly


I recently bought this awesome little book called The Graphic Design Exercise Book and it is AWESOME! Anyway it's basically a book filled with projects that every graphic designer should have in their portfolio. One section focuses on Logos and Branding, one on packaging, another on layouts and typography etc... but the thing that I love about it is how educational and objective oriented it is. It gives you specific guidelines for each of the projects and this one is called Promo. It's a weekly magazine/newspaper dealy for arts and culture, so this is the beginning of the cover. I haven't been this driven since college!

Oh, also, 2 years ago, in 2008, I drew the Niyati illustration- you know the one- to submit to Exotique 5. It didn't make it into the book, but its that time again people! And I've been invited to submit to Exotique 6! Pray for me. I still don't feel like I'm quite on that CGsociety level, but Niyati pushed me to a level that I hadn't seen before, so we'll see how it all turns out :). Wow. Long post. See you guys soon.

Dancing Shoes

Hello all...2 of you.

I've been LAZY! I admit it, but I'm breaking out of it now. Here's somethin' different. It's still a work in progress but I like this touch, which you wont see much of in the final version. So I just wanted to show this stage for the sake of someone being able to appreciate it. Especially the hair . Took about 4-5 hours. Talk about tedious. Enjoy!
