My mom wants to start a little baking company this year and asked me to name and design a logo for it.

This is what I came up with.

I know it's been awhile since we last talked. Here are a few things that I've been up to.

thecelestialchild:

can i just say how much i respect Ms. Badu for her twitter letter to wayne coyne after his "apology"??

if you didn't know, it's about the controversial video his band released without consulting her. it clears up a lot of shit. and it makes me think of better ways to protect myself as an artist.

I really don't like working on wedding invitations. Perhaps it's a girl thing and that's why I hate working on them.

But when I do have to work on them I have to balance it out by watching some sort of horror movie or some kind of sci-fi. Pitch Black does the trick. Plus Riddick is just one of the sexiest characters alive. Best role Vin Diesel ever played, fuck all that other stuff he does. I need more Riddick in my life.

Simple but I'm super happy with it after I struggled with the elements I was given.

Oh and hi new followers!

Honestly, I'm surprised I don't see more of these on my dashboard.

I wanted to remake the cover photo on my facebook which is currently "Go Fuck Yourself" and decided to do lyrics of some of my favorite songs. Here are a few that I made. If you want to use them, go ahead. They're the exact size for the cover photo specs and shouldn't be pixelated.

Bleh, I accidentally posted this on my personal blog but…whatevs.

I also do a lot of these from time to time. Baby announcements and stuff. It's even better once you see the final thing printed out. I'll put up some photos later.

This lady is having a baby "sprinkle" (it's her second baby) and had me design some stickers for her. I think they came out really nice!

Not sure if I'm allowed to post these sketches from work but I sure do love them.

You guys have no idea...

the lady boner I get when my design work gets published on the website I work for. Like…seriously. No one told me how sexy it would be!

I didn't get into grad school this year. Darn...maybe 2013!

A few days later. I land that job! That's one off the resolution list!

This year I want to do many things.

Here are some of my super real resolutions I’m making this year. The world can’t end in 2012. I have too much shit to do.
  • I want to land a good job. (I think I’m close!)
  • I want to work on my Design Master’s Degree.   We’ll save this one for 2013.
  • I want to buy my brother a fixie as a belated birthday present.
  • I want my brother to be able to spend his summers with me.
  • I want to move to an apartment in downtown LA.
  • Maybe Silver Lake…
  • Maybe Mount Washington.
  • Start collecting art.
  • I want a French Bull dog. (Brindle/Black or Fawn)
  • I want modern furniture. 
  • I want a Fiat.
  • I want a 21” iMac.
  • I want to go to Comic Con for the first time.

Let’s see if I can make this happen cuz usually when I make lists like this. I’ll have 90% or all of it done by November.

My new bike! I go to this guy, Wes Oishi, by Pico and Curson in Los Angeles. He's awesome and runs a great small business fixing and making superior quality bikes with his assistants.

He's awesome. Go visit him!

"Whoever you were, Anon. I still love you. <3"

seriously? you dont see ANY white designers or any other race for that matter title anything as 'Young, White, Graphic Designer' the only person making a big deal about you being black is YOU as a black person.

Uhm, no need to be rude. It's just my perspective on graphic design within the black community because we're honestly a very rare breed. Perhaps that's the reason why things haven't changed in so long.

Anyway, you obviously didn't read or comprehend anything I wrote so be on about your way, Anon.
