Art School - Update

Soo.. it's finals time and shit is getting hectic.

4 books to do, and a few posters for final projects... fuck fuck fuck

Alteast I finished my Com Design final for next Monday.

I was very shocked my teacher liked it. His name is Sean Adams and is currently the President of the AIGA (a professional graphic designer association/cult thing), so he's kind of a big deal.

The assignment was to make a poster for the 2009 conference in Memphis based around either offensive imagery or eye candy, and I made my choice. I've gotten some requests for prints of this... I just did my initial sketches as a joke - or mainly to see how far I could push Sean over the edge with my concepts and according to his surprisingly and supportive positive feedback on my comps here is the final (above).

It was pretty hilarious because I got this printed at school. Just seeing the looks on the faces of people at the lab, I think I nailed it. Not to mention the looks of all the females in my class.

Sometimes, you just gotta lube up and go in. Enjoy.

Last Keith Haring - Art Center

I've been meaning to post this for the longest time.

At school we have the last Keith Haring mural ever commissioned before his tragic death in 1990.

Pretty inspiring to see it hanging outside the library every day.

My Psychadelic Rock Themed Poster

So. What do I do in school all day?

That's a great question.

Here's an example of my midterm project for Digital Design 2 w/ Dana Duncan.

We had to choose an object that we couldn't live without. I chose my bass guitar. For the midterm we had to create a poster that was 24" x 36" done in the style of a specific graphic design movement.

We don't draw as much as I'd like to and I'd always wanted to challenge myself to do one of these, and the movement fit my object perfectly.

Printing this costed a lot cause my print is actually 5' something by 2'... it will now sit in my living room/rockband arena right above the futon.

The RZA

"....a hippie is a nigga who smoke weed and play the guitar. S---, I smoke weed and play the guitar."

I found this article pretty hilarious.

No matter what anyone says or how wack the next 10 Wu Tang or Bob Digi albums may be, I still will forever love the RZA and hold him high as one of my heroes. I even wrote an essay about him for my application to Art Center.

You can download the pdf here.

He's going to be preforming tonight at the Henry Fonda. "Sssssoooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!"

My favorite solo RZA track:
