Self Portrait

Published on September 29, 2008 in My work and Uncategorized. 0 Comments Tags: art, color pencil, design, graphic, illustration, pauly, prismacolor, raffaele.

I did this self portrait in late 2007. The production process was pretty interesting. Started off as a pencil sketch that was later traced into Illustrator, then scaled up to 24×36. Prismacolor pencil was used for the color work, then scanned, and scaled down for different applications.

It says a lot about me, having music, DJing, fashion all tied in.

Fake Signs.

Stumbled across this awesome concept this morning. It’s a “collaborative project that takes the work of artists from around the world, in the form of fake road signs, and turns the streets of Lyon, France into an enormous gallery without walls. The round red and white signs look enough like real European traffic signs that you might take them for granted, but weird enough if you notice them to make you stop and think.

This project has a delightful sense of humor, lots playful absurdity and a wonderful scale.”

Check out the rest of the signs here.
