THE M BEFORE '& CO.":

(l to r: maira underneath the large dominant snickers)

STORY:
i was able to attend the MAIRA KALMAN event at the SKIRBALL.

the talk was nice, though not incredibly thorough. it was filled with bits and pieces that inspired.

here are a few pieces i pulled away that are worth sharing:
"to have the play of elegance and eccentricity" - on her work
"what good have i done today?" - a question to ask self
having a "deadline is a beautiful thing"

TOO MANY SEAS.

ALLERGENS:


STORY:
for type design, the finish line is in sight. this is my work, still in progress. in the coming week, i'll be producing a poster with it. next semester, i'll be producing a font, that isn't required to focus on a calligraphic base.

========================================

HI KITTY:

(l to r: emi)

STORY:
ms. EMI invited me to SMALL GIFT, the sanrio party celebrating 50 years and a lot of hello kitty. the size of the party was daunting, and took over a whole hangar in the santa monica airport. we enjoyed the ferris wheel, that is probably meant to fit two children, and i overstuffed my stomach with veggie chili fries from the FRYSMITH and a mac and cheese sandwich from the GRILLED CHEESE TRUCK. this had to have been one of the most interesting events i've ever been to in relation to one company. thanks, ms. emi.

========================================

LINE:


STORY:
technical drawings are incredibly sexy.

HHHHHHHH.

WITHOUT A HORN:


DETAIL:


STORY:
unicorn recently marched beyond 5000 fans ON FACEBOOK. above is the work i had previously hinted at HERE and HERE.

for this illustration, i built in a story that can reward the people who are a bit more aware of unicorn's history. of course, unicorn has his horn cut-off, but unicorn didn't just trip. he was tripped, and it was an act of revenge. in the image, there is a kid pointing at unicorn and holding a stick. this child was flashed by unicorn in the first book, UNICORN HAVING FUN, and, because of this, the kid tripped unicorn in the 'running with scissors maration'.

GETTING FLASHED:


RAFFLE:
