A Look Over Old Downtown

So a little while ago when my friends and I went around Downtown LA looking for the spots from (500) Days of Summer so we could route out a plan for our dance crew's photo shoot. For those of you who have seen the movie and have actually been to Angel's Knoll, this is right above it. It looks over the park and views right into Old Downtown LA. I sketched this out as a reflection of the day. Even though we were sort of working to plan out our photo shoot. It was a nice day and it was great just walking around LA and getting to share those places with them.

When I scanned the picture in to Photoshop, however. I knew I had to play around with the picture. I wasn't sure what or how exactly. But I just got my graphire tablet and just started messing around with it right away. Right below is the result of the work. I didn't take too much time on it, just enough to get the idea. I hope you guys like it. Critiques and comments are always welcome! There's always room for improvement!

Art In Progress....

So I've currently been on the process of uploading new artwork in. I recently scanned some life art I did when I went with my girlfriend to the park. And I have some new T-Shirt designs on the way. I recently tried to get some of the animation work I did off my hard drive when I faced a dilemma. My computer isn't reading my hard drive. It says it is, but for some reason it keeps saying that I have to reformat it. I can't do that without deleting all my work on it. If you guys know any tips or links as to how I can get this thing fixed let me know. In the mean time I'll try to fix it myself before taking it in. Looking forward to sharing the new works with you guys soon!

So I was looking through my deviantart earlier today and I found this old design I made back in 2006. I wasn't too sure on how well my design skills were back then. I like how it turned out, and it think it's a a fairly simple design. I kinda think the wording could be bigger. 


What do you think? I enjoy hearing comments and critiques!

Teen Groov Shirt Design

Here's a simple graphic of a shirt I had designed for one of the dance teams I direct, Teen Groov. It was my first year as director at the time and I wanted to try to make sure I capture the feeling and energy these kids were giving me. So I aimed for a bit of a bubbly-ish feel, i added the frame with the white gradient because I felt like the text wasn't popping out enough and I didn't want just bubbles all over the shirt. The shirt came out pretty dope! It's always nice to see people wear something you made yourself. =] The picture on the right is my girlfriend by the way. <33

Fam Biz Audition Flier

The flier I designed when FamBiz was having auditions. Unlike the (500) Nights of FamBiz flier, this one is much closer to the poster of the movie with some slight adjustments here and there. The flier turned out a lot better than I thought. Hope you guys enjoy! Critiques and comments are welcome!

Culture Shock Los Angeles Soul Survivors Intro

CULTURE SHOCK!!!! Hah, this is the video intro I did for Culture Shock Los Angeles'

Benefet Show: Soul Survivors. It was a fairly simple piece to put together. It took me only about two to three days total to put together not including all the reviews and notes that were made to fix it. I had originally put a background for more of a design purpose but was removed because it was too difficult to read due to the fact it was projected on lightly tinted brown walls and not a regular screen. Hope you guys enjoy!
