The artwork was created by hand, then scanned and recreated in Adobe Illustrator. It’s available as an art print from my Etsy Shop or tshirt on Zazzle
I happened to be watching the lovely Kat von D’s LA Ink when I came up with this. This was also a homage to old school sailor tattoos–Ed Hardy-esque.
Incredible sights to behold on July 11, 2008. It’s very exciting to have a few of my photos published on The Crucible’s Festival Photo Recap Page.

I created this Eastern style dragon over the weekend. My goal is to produce one new illustration a week.
Here’s a nifty tribal shirt available on my Zazzle shop
I photographed this Iron Monkey dance crew member at The Crucible Fire Arts Festival. Although blurred, I think this photo captures the speed and technicality of break-dance movements. I just purchased a digital Canon XTi camera, so I had a bit of fun experimenting with the slow shutter speed.
Roxrite vs. Lilou-Red Bull BC One 2007 Roxrite has an amazing range of movement that’s just incredible to watch. Don’t blink!
This is a recent design project promoting a Beijing Games app. The project scope was to create several profile skins highlighting several countries, so on my part, it was a test in creating a brand which was able to extend to different markets. My background in identity and package design was pretty helpful–color and design elements help differentiate the brand in unique ways. The digital illustration was created in Adobe Illustrator and the layout was created in Adobe Photoshop.
Fire Vortex is a live sculpture of fire from the mind of Nate Smith, displayed at The Crucible’s Fire Arts Festival in Oakland. This was one of the most incredible sights I’ve ever seen. Witnessing the taming of the flame and constant evolution of shape was beautiful.
It was so hot I was worried that my new lens would melt somehow, but luckily all is well. For more info, check out Nate’s site: Fire-Arts
I created this design for the Dark Knight Campaign. As with most movie campaigns, the artwork was already in existence, so I just had to concentrate on extending the brand through photo collages and creating supporting artwork. This is where research is essential–if I didn’t have just a day or two to turn something around, I could easily spend a week on research. I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to touch different and exciting campaigns that I admire.
The concept was inspired by the Gotham Times site with interactive Flash-based elements. If you’re interested in seeing the real sites for The Dark Knight, check out my other posting about their guerrilla marketing campaign.

This creation was bound to happen: I love dragons and adore music. Instead of chasing the Pearl of Wisdom as most eastern dragons do, this one is a new breed–with an affinity towards vinyl records.
This bio-mechanical style dragon was originally created by hand with pen/ink, then scanned and edited in Adobe Illustrator.
This lovely leafy nature girl was drawn by hand, scanned, then cleaned up and modified in Adobe Illustrator and is available as a tshirt on Zazzle.
