Tribal Armbands & Dragon

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.

Advertising in the Clouds: Flogos

Peace Sign Flogo

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.

Wildstyle Graffiti

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”.
