At least that was what I thought before I tried watching some of the old ones. They're actually really boring, slow, and predictable. I'm not saying that new ones are any better but that doesn't excuse the old ones. Oh, and I also made a new flyer. Hehe.

I wonder why skate board designers haven't used more Chinese paintings in their designs. They are beautiful and are formatted so perfectly for skate boards. Heck, Chinese elements are scattered around our culture already, why not celebrate where those elements came from.

What is your design weakness? Everyone has one. Some can't use photography. Others can't use illustrations. Some can only use one design style and others can only design for one medium. I've found that poster design is my beast that I must conquer. Wish me luck in this challenge.

Thoughtlessly forgetting the letter I, I designed the letter J today. I had a few ideas for this one, including deer, octopus, and jaguar, but I ended up going with gum balls. What was I thinking? :)

Some New Friends

Trying out some new Chinese Watercolor tools that I got for my birthday, I painted a popular Chinese symbol for divinity, enlightenment, and good luck. Its a beautiful symbol and I was aiming to paint the feelings of freedom that it generates.

Playing up Chinese stereotypes, I decided to transform a funny face my girlfriend gave me today into a total fu man chu cliche.
