Real - The Newest Key to Success

Let me introduce you to Real, the newest brand with the most to offer.  If the cell phone picture doesn't do it justice, it being printed on regular paper doesn't help either.  I got the inspiration for this from... well, anywhere, I guess?  The rest of the packages feature a very cool looking Fidel Castro and a very disturbed looking Saddam Hussein. Playing with their facial expressions seemed like the normal thing to do.  Hussein is shown above.  I got a serious kick out of this project!

Good-bye, Art Nouveau?

So I finally decided to do something with my statue, and turned it into a advertisement for a gallery opening.  Its reason for existing matched the show!  The show is not real, of course, as Art Nouveau "yielded" decades ago (Gaudi's Sagrada Familia shouldn't count at this point, since it's been a century worth of construction).   It was challenging and nice at the same time to use symmetry, since normally I find myself producing typocentric designs with an embedded avoidance of the symmetrical.  The statue itself shows a gradual shift from Art Nouveau to Art Deco; the next big thing to happen to Art.  You're invited, so get your time machines ready!

Perspective

This Church is a blend of a few churches I have taken pictures of.  It does not represent my ideal church, for I am very much a Gaudi fan and would rather employ the ever so beautiful Nouveau architecture, but a week is not a lot of time to pen a church out.

A very small redesign of the JTA public transportation stop.  RIP.
Technique: huh... model making?
Media: Various little things and trinkets; visual lies; acrylic

The purpose of this project was to redesign an identity for JTA -Jacksonville's public transportation system. The design came about after playing with a "two-wall" concept (most covered stops have two to three). I wanted to maximize square footage while keeping a low building cost, and also heighten the appeal through design in order to achieve the goal of identity, thus improving public opinion and encouraging public transportation. The design allows for a sun-power option and features plenty of space for seated, standing, and handicapped personnel, also housing comfortable space for maps and ads. Our bus stops in Jacksonville consist of dirty, worn down benches with little to no cover. I've also redesigned the stop sign and on this model because the current one features the JTA logo against a black background.

It's a pineapple straw.

Hello!

I'm not gay.  I look hot in a dress, though.

With that said, welcome to the show!  A few days ago the hilarious Los showed me his blog, and convinced me I should get one too.  He's an incredibly talented artist and I'm always happy to do either joint or parallel projects with him, so here I am! Make sure to check out his blog: Itstinkslikeartinhere.blogspot.com

Let's have some fun!

I like holding a pen/pencil/brush/crayola/exacto blades/boob, or anything that you can leave lines with. Once upon a time I was passionate about architecture, but after coming to my senses I went and decided to try a bit of... well, as much as I could. Now, a few years and some careers later, I'm doing something I thoroughly enjoy: graphic arts.

I hope you like jalapeño ice-cream, too.

I'm Jhon. It's nice to make your digital acquaintance.

Cheers,
