Always (work in progress).

This is a calligraphic illustration, or at least the preliminary sketch of one. This was done on 4 x 6 sketch paper. The final version will be done on parchment, and will look slightly different, with more details and better line quality.

Calligraphic sketch: Pig.

This is my re-imagining of the logo for the musical project Pig. Just more messing with calligraphy.

Genre Identifier Labels (G.I.L.).

I suppose this is a sign of some kind of neurosis on my part, but there is what I did….

I have a decent music collection, which spans a wide variety of styles. Much of it is increasingly stored in Ikea KASET boxes. The ones with the dimensions geared towards storing jewel cases. Well, I tend to organize my music by genre and subgenre. I thought it might be cool to create some sort of labels or dividers, so I know what’s in each box. They would be made so they could be folded on to a box and easily removed should they need to be attached to another box. I went through a few ideas on how exactly to do this, and this is the end result.

 

Work In Progress: Objective Cards.

These will eventually be printed out and made in to small cards. Each one represents a life or creative objective I wish to follow. Most of them involve honing different skills or areas of knowledge. These are just a few. One of them, obviously, has the previously posted vector recreations of the treasures from the first Zelda game.

The finished product will be posted once they’re printed out

Mission Statement.

This was an assignment for a class. The instructions were to create a mission statement for your life. It could take any form. Here are the results. Five envelopes, each with a word that pertains to an interest and a quote relating to it. Inside is an image that is relevant in some fashion.  The images are as follows:

BUILD: Seattle Public Library, by Rem Koolhaas and OMA.

DRAW: A painting by Jean Giraud, aka Mobius. My biggest artistic influence.

WORDS: The Voynich manuscript. Exact origins and authorship unknown.

CITIES: Hong Kong skyline. PHotographer unknown.

FUTURE: A nebula. Hubble telescope.

 

Typographic Sci Fi Posters #4: Planet of the Apes.

The fourth and (for now) last of these posters. I may create others in the future, but I want to work on refining these four for now. This last one is, obviously, Planet of the Apes. This time, like in the 2001 poster, the image and the quote are very closely linked, and this is the ominous line which precedes the famous twist ending. Hopefully the statue of liberty image is clear enough in this rendition.
