I just completed another “Obama” political t-shirt design. This time for Frivole, a Miami-based apparel shop. This limited edition “Hope” tee shirt is by far the most optimistic fitted tee shirt in the galaxy made with a bundle of hope-ness!  I hope you like it.

“Madame Butterfly” is a reflection of things I like. Old era style with a touch of contemporary grunge-punk-dots type art. I remember with clarity the movie “M. Butterfly” (1995; directed by David Cronenberg and starring Jeremy Irons), a story about a “French diplomat falls in love with a singer in the Beijing Opera.” Originally in the short story novel it is “a relationship between an American naval officer and a Nagasaki geisha.” It is kind of difficult to forget the film with the surprise ending. Loved it! I think “The Crying Game” (1992) influenced a bit from the novel and opera. Lastly, I didn’t create the design in all four corners of the story, I got inspiration just from the title and the rest is a different storyline which you can fill in the blanks as you see it.

It is currently up for voting at Design By Humans. Thanks for your support!

I saw a post on Design You Trust (yep, this site) about a political t-shirt contest “Obama Vs. McCain.” And since we’re close to the US Presidential election, I thought I might as well design something for this thematic t-shirt contest. My design is entitled “Believe. Change. Progress,” a few words that were plucked from famous quotes from Barack Obama. The concept was based on various photos of Obama, and I wanted to make his face look iconic and stylized. A simple design that looks somewhat abstract up close, but a few meters away looks like Obama is coming from the light.

Please cast your vote… I think the voting is done by selecting the button “Make My Favorite.”

My new website is up. It includes painting, illustration, photography, identity design, clothing prints, and narrative Flash films. There is also a Guest book, if you would like to sign it. I hope you enjoy it!

Identity Design - The concept for “Almost Dorothy” was to create a children’s style illustration, something friendly yet perversely strange. Something that looked perfect—almost. The character Dorothy would have a realistic side to her: some good qualities and bad. Read more.
