The artwork of Chaz Bojorquez is an inspiring combination of graffiti and traditional cultural styles. While being an exceptional painter, I mostly admire his unique street calligraphy. It is a summary of institutional and self-taught influences–Chicano, Chinese, Egyptian, and Mayan. You could view his bio on RTEA and the Chicano Collection Site.
The Dancing Yoda video is a little old, but I still love it. Aside from the cool-lookin’ Storm Troopers, Yoda’s freaktastic!
I’m super duper excited about this! My photos and illustrations are featured on the Bebo.com Homepage (US/CA only) with their new Lifestream/ Photo Timeline launch. It’s a cool feature where your photo albums are placed in a visual timeline–very interactive and clickable piece.
My feature will be up for a week. You’ll have to refresh (F5) the page about 10 times, but I’m happy it’s there! My Bebo Profile
A screenshot of my page is included in an article by Kara Swisher (covering tech issues for The Wall Street Journal and Boomtown) about the new innovations between AOL and Bebo here. It’s also featured in Venture Beat, focusing on the lifestream service.
This was taken at the CA Academy of Sciences.
The emptiness of the snake eyes will be inspiration for a new gothic illustration, so stay tuned!
Ahh, the beauty that is San Francisco.
Bruce Lee was not only a great cultural icon and martial artist, but a great thinker as well. I wanted to bring attention to his inspirational Jeet Kun Do philosophy through this shirt design: “Learn, Master, Achieve”. View larger.
Self-Portrait was part of an experiment with my new remote control (and tripod) for the XTi digital camera. It’s great to see instant results with the playback button, but it took about 40 frames to get something decent–with lots of running back and forth. There was major cropping and a little contrast adjustment.
This is by far my favorite pen and of course, weapon of choice for all the microscopic sketches and concept designs. View larger image here.
I’ve seen “More” in 1999 and was unable to find it till now. (Whoohoo!) Created in stop-motion, “More” is a wonderful short film. You could find out more at HappyProduct.com.
I was exploring the office building and discovered this mysterious sight. It’s urban and a little mundane, but there’s a quiet beauty. . .
