BASEL-TOV!!! Cover for Miami New Times Basel Guide

The Miami New Times got in touch with me right before the big B came to town and asked me to do their cover for the annual Basel Guide issue.  I wanted to draw something that represents the excitement that Basel brings to town, so I freaked some lambos, money, spray paint confetti and other little goodies, then wrapped em up with the Basel Tov headline/concept...I was so siked to present it to them and I couldn't believe that they just let me go for it!  SO DOPE!!!

Needless to say it was super rad to see it all over town, both in newspaper stands and the hands of everyone from locals to fancy collectors hanging outside of the convention center.  THANK YOU SO MUCH, NEW TIMES!!!  I only hope that I am lucky enough to do another one some time :)

HOT SHIT!!!

ROBERT BROWNJOHN

for TIM HOSSLER's class awhile back, we were randomly assigned a more obscure designer to learn about and produce something representing them. I was sooooo lucky to get ROBERT BROWNJOHN. did you know his book is called SEX AND TYPOGRAPHY!?! i know! amazingly perfect! and i got him by accident. anyway, i really love his work because, even though he was an ad man, he tried to make interesting art that was either part of the campaign or went along with it in a gallery show or something. he did a poster called Obsession & Fantasy, and that was (obviously) my inspiration. i like that he made everything sexual, but not objectifying...he also tended to take the big idea and go realllllllly far with it in execution. so, this is the cover to a fantasy porno coloring book i made for the project. inside, line drawings of porno girl centaurs, octopus and lots more!

OPERA TOWER BROCHURE

for studio photography class (named studio photog even though we only did ONE indoor lighting project...so lame), we had to do a hotel brochure. i chose the OPERA TOWER here in beautiful downtown miami! truth be told, i was so busy with my other classes, i couldnt lock in a south beach hotel, so i crossed the bridge to my friends place, where i knew i could get in for photos and no one would bother me. the lobby and decor was pretty bad but the views were incredible at night! these are some of the spreads. suuuuuuper shout out to KARIN!!! thanks lady...you saved me.

DANCE LETTERS

(D,J,V from top)

these are a few pieces from a project i am working on, modeled after czech avant garde artist, KAREL TEIGE. i am doing the entire alphabet and im almost done! these are some of my favs, but i cant bring out the big guns yet. the photos were shot by joseph delhammer, styled by me and directed by me and kristina krkjuls. the modeling was split between me and my best friend DREA....who gets extra points for actually having a swim cap...it totally tied it all together! i have to say, i REALLY love this project and it has been so much fun to make...yaaaay!

FUN STUFF

these are some spreads from my publication design class
the first is an article about skating...its a collage on a brown paper bag. the second is using illustration and dingbats only...the mary jane girls are my SHIIIT by the way. the third is a punk spread...i did an article about Vivienne Westwood's sex shop that was like, punk rock home base back in 1970s LDN. she made a really famous shirt that spelled out SEX in chicken bones...hence...the bones.
