Obesity Courts Death

So many health risk are associated with Obesity, and it's funny how as an individual you do this too yourself. Not consciously of course...it's not like you sit around and plan on being fat, most of the times it just happens. You get too comfortable have a few extra bites and next thing you know your over weight...trust me I know. The health risk involved can ultimately kill you. This piece is about, your own slow decent to the end while death waits patiently.

The Odyssey

My Font selection skills is definitely improving. I'm focusing more on that right now, instead of focusing so much on the blending aspect of the image. I'm more concerned with finding an entire image that pertains to the concept of the party, than making it from scratch.

The Client requested, the 2001 : Space Odyssey look. A very minimal approach, reminiscent of the movie.

Passion

My family in Trinidad has the biggest Carnival band in the south, and I design the T-shirts for the band. My father comes up with the concepts, which are usually abstract themes (and they are always difficult to translate into an image). This year the band is called PASSION, and while my father can explain it best...to summarize,  it's about people's passion for negative energy.

The comic book style of the flyer, I wasn't gonna use (but my mom's insisted I use this style), which actually worked out pretty good. But I don't want to over use this type of imagery, it may lose it's effectiveness if used too often.

Consenting Adults

When I was a kid, I was a big fan of comic books. I’ve always wanted to make my very own. I never actually succeeded in making that comic book. Not to mention that I gave up drawing and comic books, once I discovered underage parties and alcohol (that’s a whole other story). Anyway fast forward to present day, and I’ve finally made a life long dream come through…well partially anyway, since it’s not a comic book per se.

This flyer is a replica of an actual Romance comic book from the 50’s. I wanted to express Consenting Adults in a new way. Something that has never been done before in the Caribbean community. I mean what’s funnier than white characters taken from a previous time and place, having them speak a dialect, spoken by black people from a Caribbean country, merging the two together to create something completely new and fresh.

The ultimate goal with something like this, is to raise the bar for design / creativity in the Caribbean Community. Hopefully people will enjoy the flyer, and if it peeks their curiosity to actually come out to the event, then I’ve reached my goal. Hey…maybe they even keep the flyer as a souvenir.

The wording for the flyer was inspired  by a youtube video, of some puppets from Trinidad.

The flyer has been getting alot of love on facebook, nice.

Wayne and Nicki in Benzi World

I've been working on this image for two months, just tweeking it here and there, trying to get the lighting right. The idea is since Wayne and Nicki are like abstract artist in terms of content and appearance, I wanted to place them against a surreal abstract world, where the skies are green and the land mass is colorful blocks, with quirky little animals that populate it.

This is also part of a new hip hop series of images I'm putting together. Sometime next year I want to have a gallery show to display some of my work all centered around the hip hop culture, with prominent artist placed in surreal settings. Since I don't have access to shoot these celebrities myself, the final result and the timing of the show will be mainly based on the assumption that I will find enough interesting images to create enough pieces to fill a room. The other logistics will obviously have an affect...venue, time, cost etc. but I will remain hopeful...that I can make this project happen.

We Three Kings

Two out of the three pics that were used to create this flyer, came from pics taken with a crappy ass camera. If they all were highquality pics, it would have really added to the overall quality of the flyer. I really need to get my digital camera...fast.

This Sucks!!!

My system, has crashed again... I have to take it back to get fixed cause it's not working. I can't get nothing done, cause I don't have a replacement system to use in the meantime (I need to invest in a laptop), and I'm loosing clients and money...this sucks.

Freaks Comes Out At Night

Kanye Photograph

Feeling truly inspired by this dude right now. I took this photograph two years ago with a regular nikon coolpix point and shoot camera, and did a little bit of post production work on it, to make it into a black and white photograph. I've always loved black and white photography, especially those taken with film. Black n White film, to me anyway, has a timeless gritty feel to it, especially those rock and roll images of artist performing. There is a gallery in SOHO that has beautiful black n white photography prints of Rock stars, I can't afford any of them, so I decided to make my own.

Under Repairs!!!!

My damn computer table (a glass kitchen table that I converted into my desk), came crashing down and broke into a million pieces, and down with it went my computer. My computer didn't get smashed into a million pieces, thankfully, but it took a serious hit and doesn't turn-on now. Smh...so now I'm out of commision for a few days while it's under repairs.

Enigma Revised: Usurping the Crown

Nobody is bigger than Jay-Z in terms of longevity and the shear impact he has on the hip hop culture as a whole, he’s like the U2 of rap. Kanye on the other hand is also huge but not as big as Jay-z, but after seeing the preview to the “POWER” video, and knowing how creative and talented Kanye is, I just feel like he will change the game once more with his upcoming album and be the true King of Hip Hop.

Experimenting a little with this one, was going for a more sophisticated look, not sure if I pulled it off, but it does look clean and completely different from anything else on the Caribbean flyer scene

All Black Everything

I like working with open minded clients, who trust my judgement as the graphic designer. While I might not be correct in my decisions all the time, I do appreciate a client who trust my judgement for the sake of making a beautiful flier. The client wanted pictures added...which I hate doing sometimes, because it takes away from the design...especially in this case for such a clean layout, adding pics would have spoiled the look. I really love how this one came out.

Maddy's Annual Virgo Birthday Celebration

Boot Camp

Team NYC all access flyer

I had to compile all the flyers for the week long event, into one flyer and make it so that people understood that it's multiple events, but you could also pay one price for all events, at the same time. I designed 3 of the five flyers for the events (Evening Miami and Blanco were done by another designer), some of the promoters already had their own designers. I wish I had done all the flyers for the project because it would have been more cohesive, but I think I did a good job with the elements I had.

Pretty Pink

So Ivybez hit me up for a flyer, he wanted his Pink theme party flyer done in my style (whatever that may be) so I agree and proceed to create. Pink and White are the colors he wants me to use, so I start of by following his previous design for some kind of direction.
Was having a hard time with it at first, because I didn’t know what elements to use…but after a few hours , I had pretty much completed it, but something was still missing. I reluctantly added the girl from my personal project and it fit perfectly. I also added a few spec elements from another project…but to my surprise, after I had sent it off to final approval / printing, I noticed the little photographer sitting on her shoulder, which I had accidently imported with the other spec elements, but did not notice, overall I think it adds a little bit of quirkiness to the image.
