A Chicago bicycle shop, PHIXX 606 Cycles, contacted me to create a logo to update their presence. They wanted to include a graffiti/hip hop vibe with bicycle parts. Here is what I came up with...
Producers Fanum and Isle of Weight, collectively known as the OPUS, needed a cover for their new compilation "The Opus of the Opus vol. 2." I originally created the volume one cover a while back and used multiple instruments to spell out their name. This time I thought that it would be more cohesive to make one instrument and treat it like a graffiti piece. You have to stare at it a little, but you can see their name spelled out in the brass instrument. A new favorite...
Fantasy football has always had a big draw especially when money is involved. One team reached out to me to create a logo and some jerseys to represent themselves. Their team name is "Pipiohpi" taken from a reference from the movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". They wanted a Tiki Warrior incorporated into the design and after a few font choices, this is the design that made the cut:
Ryan Howard, owner and fabricator of Kustom Karats linked up with me to create a media push for his custom jewelry business. We started with the logo...
Chicago native and Top Chef All-Star Dale Talde is making big moves in 2011. He will be opening up a restaurant in New York named TALDE in the near future. I really don't know all of the details, but based on his culinary track record, it should definitely be a place to check out if you are in the area.
When he approached me to create his logo, he wanted it to have a classic/vintage feel while incorporating his filipino heritage. Once we figured out what kind of vintage style he was looking for, the graphic sun element naturally fit into the design. Much success to you Dale! Thanks for the opportunity...
I was asked to deejay an event at the W Hotel Lakeshore about a month ago. I really didn't know what to expect when I was asked to do it, but I took the gig anyway. I rented some speakers, cleared the schedule and downloaded some radio friendly selections to get ready for what turned out to be the Chicago SONY VAIO Expo 2011. This was a personal milestone for me! I spun for 12 hours straight without repeating one song! Usually I deejay clubs with about 3 hours of material..just in case, but this was like a marathon! Sony was introducing the VAIO Z series amongst other new Sony offerings. The Sony staff was very accommodating and the W hotel was very helpful with the load-in/load-out. At the end of the day, they sent me home with a swag bag and a some mortgage money. Good times!
This logo was created for a new media company based in Chicago's South Side. DYK Editorial, Inc.. Headed by Nick Kofski, DYK takes your media projects to the next level with up to date video technology and years of experience to back it up. I have done some freelance for Nick a few years ago when he was with another company, but since then his clientele has grown which led him to branch out on his own.
