Just like candy


Something for now, but saving it for later.

Oh Pitiful Shadow…

Just a fanart/typography mashup for a series I just finished. She’s Ai from the Hell Girl anime.

MToS: What More Can I Say

Here is the 2nd installment of the My Type of Song project. It’s from What More Can I Say by Jay-Z (2003).

With all projects, it started with a sketch. Lucky for me I already had some clear ideas, so this process went rather quickly.

Instead of the normal process of scanning and pen-tooling in Illustrator, I went straight to the latter and hoped that I could “wing it”.

I made these blue diagonal lines as a grid to ensure that all my curves and angles were consistent. I ended up changing a few letter forms along the way that weren’t originally sketched out.

I’ve been lousy at tracking hours for personal projects lately, but I think that this was one of my faster start to finish projects. Stay tuned, as I already have installments 3 and 4 sketched out!

MToS: Elevators


The first of a new project titled My Type of Song (MToS). First up to bat, Elevators by Outkast circa 1996. Another post with the process to come…

Thanks… again :)

I was a little hasty in posting the first version, but now I think I’m really done.

And so it begins…

New poster. Stage 1 – pencils.

After speaking with my cousin, I dropped a line about how hard hustlin’ was… which sparked a new project!

Pineapple Express P2

Pineapple Express


If you love Pineapple Express as much as I do, you’ll get it. Part 1.

LeVice Record Release

This weekend, I was asked to do a record release flier for Le Vice. Unlike the other fliers I’ve done for them, this one required use of a photo and some logos… no problemo. The biggest difference of all is that I completed this one using the digital process only.

The Breakthrough

My homie Caesar recently released mixtape. I did some letter work on the flier/cd, but after hearing the music, felt compelled to do more. I ended up making a typography project out of it using the track names from the entire album. Click here to download album. Peace.
