Mount Vernon All-Star Cafe

Not long-lived but I'm glad to have had a chance to create the menu's as well as the logo, the business cards and palm cards (4x6 flyers).

Basquiat Clothing

A tribute to my first love

Along with these three posters are look books for each of the three styles of sneakers as well as trading cards.

Doze Restaurant

Okay, we all have gotten sleepy after eating an enjoyable, filling meal right? But we had to wait until we got home to go to sleep or nap. Now introducing the first ever restaurant with beds. You no longer have to wait to go to sleep after a meal. At Doze you can nap for however long needed in comfortable beds that range in size. *This is a restaurant I have created* Above are ads for the restaurant as well as the menu. The menu is displayed on a pillow.

Scribble Jam

Scribble Jam is an annual Hip Hop festival held in Ohio. The event usually takes places over three days and includes all different events from freestyle contest to a graffiti contest. Other events include a beatboxing contest, scratching(dj-ing) contest, as well as a break dancing contest. 

Above is a brochure I created for the event. The brochure gives insight on the actual event, where it's held, and what goes on as well as how to obtain tickets. The brochure is a two-fold, three panel brochure. The first image is of the cover. From there you have the next panel that you would see if you opened the brochure. The last three are of the inside panels, what you would see if you opened the second panel. (The festival, special events, and tickets panels, respectively)

Some of my logos

All City Body Spray

All City 5 Boroughs Body Spray is a line of scented cologne that will remind you of your favorite New York City Borough. Whether it be the Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn or Queens, you can now represent your borough to the fullest extent, with this line of Body Spray. Extensive testing had to be done in order for you to smell like each individual borough. All City has brought out the best, most memorable scents and have now bottled then for your borough loving enjoyment. The unique design of the box and can is reminiscent of the 1955 red IRT R-17 subway cars. These cars are most noted for their extensive graffiti work. The actual can is reminiscent of a small scale spray paint can. The unique design will attract any graffiti artists' eye, but the scent will be sure to attract the likes of everyone. 

The cans as well as the boxes are color coated which each different color representing a different borough. The boxes also contain dicuts in the areas where the windows would be so you can see inside the box, like looking side of the train through its windows. Also on the bottom of the cans are silhouettes of the NY skyline.

My Fresh

Ok, so those that truly know me, know that my first love has and always will be sneakers. I can't help it but thats my addiction. As of now I roughly have about 50 pairs ( i know to sneakerheads, thats not many, but we're in a recession people). You will never catch me in the same pair twice in one week and if you do it's because I'm in love with that one pair and it goes perfectly with every outfit. A lot of my work in centered around sneakers. This particular project is geared to all my customizers that make a living off of or take pride in designing custom sneakers. 

My Fresh is a sneaker customizing kit that could be sold in stores near you. The kit includes a how to book, fresh white-on-white sneakers, a small bottle of acetone to clean the sneakers before customizing, artists masking tape, 6 paint markers and a small bottle of clear finish to be applied on the sneakers after you are done customizing. The logo was created by myself and done by hand. Above you will see first the logo. Next, the cover of the How-to book. Last, The complete kit. 

The box is made of 100% plexiglass. It is made to resemble with a sneaker box sticker(not shown) on the right side of the box that gives you information of the size of the shoe and what is in the box. The box also has a drawer that pulls out. In this drawer houses the materials need to customize the sneakers. The box are the exact dimensions of an average Nike sneaker box. The main part that houses the sneakers contains a mirrored plexiglass bottom so you don't see down through the box to the materials. With the mirrored plexi your design will be reflected back to catch any viewers eye.

How It Works...The Human Brain

We all know how important our health is these days with the onset of various diseases, right?!? I have created user friendly charts of our brain, the human brain. The two charts illustrate the inside of our brain and the lobes of our brain. The chart is color coordinated, where each color represents a different section and function. Some functions may be done using multiple parts of the brain. Take a look...

Tribute to MJ

July 4th, 2009 I spent my evening shooting pics of the Jackson family house in Encino as well as the infamous house in Beverly Hills where the King of Pop was found dead. R.I.P Micheal. I must say Al Sharpton said it best! There was nothing strange about you, what was strange was everything you endured throughout your life. In the words of Marlon Jackson, "Maybe now you can rest in peace."
