a quiet stirring

So I redesigned my website. Woo-hoo. It may not be the final product, but at least I did something. There you go.

Flash Back 3 years ago

Oh Man, Old School. Jarold and I did this together way back when. Hey you should stick it in your portfolio, it still looks kick ass.

I'm feeling very green this month. VERY green.

Stuff

Well, as you might have noticed, all my images are busted, I have to pay my website bill, moving and getting my shit together has been a huge stain on my existence lately, especially in the money department, but its slowly getting better... Only to get worse again hehe. Besides all the stress and emotional toil I have been going through, things are good. We sign the lease for the apartment in E. Williamsburg the 25th, and then we move. Yay. Anyway I went to the Miss Rockaway Armada show today in Chelsea, it was fun, and got to see some great art... And beer. I left really inspired to make art and sell it and make thousands and millions and retire to Rio... Um, yeah. One day, in another life time. Well, you have all prob. seen my self portrait, the one with the orange thing. On the lower half of that painting, it seems to be lacking in something, and then I thought how about some typography. Then I thought of "I am woman, hear me roar" THEN I though, she cant really roar with the scarf around her face, so... "I am woman, hear me ___." It might be kinda corny, but I thought it was clever and I really like it. So I am going to make a mask (stencil) out of some typography, then paint the letters in a similar style the painting, maybe a little faded, some gradation, not sure. Anyway, here are some rough comps, I am still in the beginning stages of finding a good font and a good type setting.

Work is CRAZY yo!

I'm here at work today, being ultimately bored by the magnitude of nothingness that falls on top of my creativity. But big news has recently come my way, which may just save any artistry I have left. I've been doing freelance for two different Movie Poster Agencies for the past two months, and after working nutso hours between my job and those other two, I've finally hit something good. The two places seem interested in bringing me on to work with them on a more fulltime basis. Im seriously considering the options and benefits of doing this line of work.. and hey, i love it.. which is most important. More on this later as i find stuff out.

Also, I finally found out who the illustrator of the Lavalife Subway ads is.. Check out his website.. It's some really gorgeous work:

And lastly, my boredom drawing of the day:

Awaken your senses with this motion graphics project I made last year...

Updates

Hello All. The posting is going pretty well. Makes me happy (Id like to see more comments though). Sorry for the size of my last post... teehee. I updated the side bar with a plethera of links of artists and resources. Fun stuff to look at, good for inspiration. I was looking for a good website with Motion Graphics, if anyone has one let me know, also if anyone has any other suggestions for links that I should put up there.

Fotzenlappen!

well well well. what do we have here? an introduction? my word. indeed. this is good to because I am feeling a bit rambunctious. splendid! it truly is...

ok enough of that crap... this one's goin 100% jersey. (wudup)
aight, my name's Jarold. i'm a u.s. marine stuck in the dmv waiting line of life tryin to make it to the end of my contract so's that I could go to SVA. it's been like 10 yrs since I made the decision to get there. I decided I want to go to SVA since I was a freshman so I had 2 wait 2 get outta HS. after HS I got sidetracked after attempting to get into AI of philly. I really wanted SVA but philly wanted me. well the side track messed things up a bit and I woulda only had 2 wait 6 months to try again but I opted 2 join the marines so I could get mad bank for college. a 5 year contract came with it and all I've been doin is waiting and tryin 2 stay outta trouble.

it's a good thing though cuz it helped me grow up alot and become more responsible so I think I'm prepared. I got to brush up on my skills and even picked up a few things along the way. here are some example of murals or drawing I did for the marine corps or tattoos for friends.

this is me tattooing my friend Edgar. He's also a marine and this is his first tattoo. no worries, we're being very sterile.


this is the final product. yes it's upside down. lol. well.. not the tat... but yeah the cool thing about it is that its not a typical tat. it has no ink so it's just going to be a scar.


I just started practicing tattoos. I drew one on myself. I also paint, draw and make flash toons.
the paintings aren't like fine art thought. more cartoon-y or comic-Y. they're usually murals for my squadron or door art for the helicopters I worked on. so yeah I guess I put enough now, here's some things to look at if interested. I'm very open to constructive criticism
and appreciate feed back of any sort. although I don't take kindly to hostility lol ;) ok then. Bye bye now.

New Partner

Id like you all to welcome a new Partner In Design, Jarold. Some of you may know him, others may know Of him. Anyway, be nice and say hi or post comments of his stuff.
