eagle chair

More furniture doodles. Obsessed with dual functioning furniture, this chair, is meant to be used primarily chair with hinged/ pivoting work surfaces. The side wings can also be pivoted up for privacy. Lastly the bottom half of chair can be removed flipped upside down and converted to a small table or ottoman. The bottom sketch is for a table with built in dishwasher.

branding muhammad

While I usually am not in the habit of illustrating anything for our own magazine, I usually commission that to kick ass illustrators. Like jasonlee.com. Unfortunately, there was no time to commission. So, I had to create these icons for a story on the re-branding of the Ali name. Several CEO opine on how to best capitalize on his name.

pulling typography

The birds are an idea for my daughters next birthday party invite.

kabuki circuitry

No matter where I am, I aways stop to pick up certain scraps of paper (more on that later,) and various objects that look like small masks. For example this circuit I found today in front of Bryant Park.

I then added the mask to a sketched body.

floating alphabet II

More sketches for a series based on floating letters coming to life.

modular limbs

Sketches of figure using modular like limbs. Almost looks like duct work. Note: you cant bite into a raw plantain as illustrated below.

takeover layout

A sketch and final layout from our magazine. This was an odd layout to art because it was a story about ourselves. It dealt with the process we went through during the sale of our magazine and detailed the uncertainty of (my job) this magazines future. Luckily, we didn't fold, and the layout was awarded a merit for design by the Society of Publication Designer.
