Autumn Moon Festival in SF Chinatown.
This was an cute moment–the group took a mini-break from their dragon hoisting to view an outdoor photo exhibit.
Lovely dancers performing during the Oakland Chinatown Street Fest.

Unfortunately, my flash didn’t go off on my mini-camera, so the pic is a little blurry. . . at least you could feel the motion of the moment!
I started working on a Downloads section for my website (still in construction). One of the features will be tattoo flash, so I decided to capitalize on the tribal style a bit with armbands and dragons.
Once upon a time, plane banners and blimps were the mediums for advertising in the heavens. Today, it’s Flogos! Made up of soap foam, this unique company produces logo brand shapes to reach a wide audience. The visual impact is quite appealing, being that we are always looking for shapes in the clouds. The life of a flogo is quite short though–from a few minutes to a few hours.
I went to the Art & Soul Festival in Oakland, where this woman was performing in an African Dance troupe. This was one of my favorite images of the day.
Just discovered this fun site by Ruperto Fabito, Jr. as an Academy of Art project called Paper Critters, where you could create your own virtual paper toy with various artistic elements. The vein is pretty similar to the Simpsonize Me and the South Park Generator, but with more customization.
This candid photo was taken at the Oakland Chinatown Street Fest. These beautiful Indian girls were sitting amongst the crowd, patiently waiting their turn to perform.

This was an experimentation in combining tribal tattoo styles with letterforms. This is a mixed media piece (pen & photoshop). I didn’t clean up the linework very much, as I like the rough quality of line. In case you’re wondering, it’s another homage to “Hip Hop”.
