Take a trip back into time. . .
The J-Boogie Inferno Video from last year was inspired by the old funky gems from the 50s-70s, much like Talcum’s collection of rare soul. Download the happy vibes here.

This photo was taken from the seldom-seen interior of the pagoda landmark in San Francisco’s Japantown. I love the urban ruggedness amidst the strong geometric shapes.
Another image from the Cherry Blossom Festival. Kimonos have amazing graphical qualities.

Gaia: Earth Goddess is a mixed-media piece inspired by the mythologies of ancient Greece. She was believed to appear in courtyards and bore several mutant offspring, including Cyclops. This was created in pen/ink and colored in Photoshop. Artwork by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.
In the Mod is a nifty tool by Dr. Woohoo which extracts colors from images into usable palettes for Photoshop and/or Illustrator. Dr. Woohoo is a very engaging artist who uses algorithms to produce amazing digital art. You could see his creations on Flickr.
Direct Mail as “cutting edge” promotion? Brandweek posted an interesting article on how direct mail (postcards, newsletters, and other printed materials) is a hot item again since we seem to be overrun with online clutter. More here.
This was taken at the 42nd Cherry Blossom Festival in San Francisco’s Japantown.
Since the sun’s out and Easter is arriving, I thought it was time for a Robo Sumo Bunny piece. The plump character was inspired by KungFu Panda–with his clumsy awkwardness, but loveable personality.
I created Face Patterns as a background for another piece, but I think it’s rather interesting on its own. This was created in pen/ink on bristol, then scanned and digitally colored.
