chuck close

Chuck close is one of my favorite artist. This piece was the first one i did using his style. This is done using a diagonal grid and I paint each square at a time. the process is long and tedious but the finish painting really worth the time put in. Along with this bond painting, I also have done a self portrait and a picture of schwarzenegger in this same style.

In class typograhy workshop.

Please Scoop Your Poop!

Even though we already have a ton of projects to work on, I figure i would go ahead and spend a few hours to relax and start taking picture for the font hunt project. So I went walking down midtown taking pictures. There are so many different font faces out there. I also came across some humorous designs in the process. It makes me laugh. graphic designer do have a sense of humor..and i like funny catchy phrases.

"Crikey" no more.

I thought it was a joke when i saw the headline "Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter Dead" on shortnews.com this morning. I said to myself no way!..."THE" Steve Irwin...is Dead? I couldnt believe it.. i love his show. Its a shame that out of all the dangerous stunts that he did, ..and what killed him was a stingray. he has a tremendous passion in what he do, and i think that is one quality that everyone will miss about Steve Irwin.
I believe everyone should have the same enthusiasm and passion in whatever that they do. cause without passion there is no driving force to keep you going. Im glad that i found something that i like to do.. and that is art and design.

rasterized it!

One of my favorite website to browse around is rasterized.org. This site featured digital artworks from many talented artists. I always get new inspiration when looking at these artworks.. I like to work in photoshop and prefer working with raster than vector.. and seeing all these techniques that some of the artists used is truly amazing. There are a few sections of the site that shows step by step pictures of how they put the images together. great site.
