Cut & Paste Competition 2009 Aftermath

So Cut & Paste seemed like it just flew by. It was hectic and fun. No, I didn't win but I did make it to the final round. Despite a stressful morning and early afternoon, it was an amazing time. And I just noticed they updated their website with photos so now I can update my artblog. So here's 30 minutes worth of art from a saturday evening in Los Angeles. Yes, indeed.

Round 1: Human Nature - tattoo
Positive thoughts and ideas grow beautiful things. Negativity grows thorns.

Round 2: Time Travel - lunchbox
It's like a suitcase hence 'travel'. The stickers are time related and food related and there's your 'time' and 'lunchbox'. =)

Thanks for all the love and support the past couple weeks! =P Cheers.

PS. I seriously need to go snowboarding soon!

Dirty Digs

It's a 2 for 1 special at my artblog today. First, Win or Booze and now Dirty Digs.



This is album art for a mixtape. The genre is hip hop/rap. There's two versions because there's two artists, my friend's bf and his brother. ahem val cough. and congrats by the way! Apparently, this is the second project that my Please Pig poster has led to. And frankly, I need to do more work like this. serio.

Mammoth Root Beer

Here is my Mammoth Root Beer that everyone seemed to love from a few semesters ago. At first, I didn't like the colors but they grew on me. I'm liking the black with ice now. Good Taste Never Goes Extinct.

Nook Breakfast Ware

A project from last year for my package design class. This is the Table for Two set. Light blue and bright yellowish orange symbolize a sunny morning. I wanted the high contrast between the dull cardboard box and the shiny white plate. There's also a window in the other side that has a mug popping out. I'm pretty happy with it. Other possibilities for future installments were table for 4, 8, 12 etc...
