BOOTLEG: The Shepard Fairey Experiment

I was looking at some posters by the famous Shepard Fairey (the guy who did the iconic Hope poster for Obama), and when I started this peace it just ended up being in his style, and I wasn't even intentionally trying to recreate his style. I guess that's the beauty of his work deceptively simple, and highly influential.

DIRTY DOLL: A Vixens Rise To Fame In A Dirty Game

Strange Journey

I've been through alot since I came to America, and through all the trials and tribulations, I've always felt blessed, cause everything I went through could have been much worse...but I'm still here, doing what I love to do and the whole thing has been a Strange Journey.

VANITY

Vanity I think caught alot of people by surprise, and I got many compliments for this flyer, and many people ask for a similar vibe. But what I Killed in the artwork, I fell short-on the back layout...while I used similar elements through out the flyer I could have left the model out and just used the car, and work on the text a little more.

April Fools Day Massacre

The title has nothing to do with the image really, but yesterday alot of my coworkers were laid off as a result of the economic crisis. I was calling the events that took place the April Fools Day Massacre, so since I finished this piece on that day, it's kind of a tribute to my coworkers.

CITY UNDER SEIGE

Electric Fridays

The client didn't like this design, so I may use it again. I think this shit is hot as hell, but that's just me.

JAN 2010: This was a weak design in retrospect, still had so much too learn.

ORGASMIC

Was still learning how to do different styles, not my best work.

Saltfish

Obviously I hadn't yet learned the lesson, because I went again with the different styles on the front an back, But I think the real issue was that I didn't know how to layout the text for the back and make it co-hesive with the front. I had gotten the concept from the Cocaine Cowboys movie poster, but didn't know what to do with the back yet again. Thus another flyer that looks like it was for two different parties.

Final
Corporate Greed, Military Presence, Contaminated Food, Engineered Plants, Black Power.

ENIGMA

This is a culmination of all my interest in one image. Hip Hop, Surrealism, Expression, Movies, Politics, People, Aliens and Fashion. It's also a representation of the enigma of Hip Hop culture.
