With graphic illustrations, you will be able to get a visual representation of what you are describing in text. Illustrations also makes it easy to describe a difficult concept. I can take your idea, and help you fully express your concept in any output form you like; T-shirts, Labels, Packaging, Stickers, Logos, Posters, Banners, Canvas, CD / Book Covers, Basic Flash Animation, etc.

Illustration and interpretive drawing is a lost art. Most of the time, you can not reproduce imaginative ideas through a camera lens. The creative x factor can not be bound by reality, it can only be expressed through the right combination of drawing and color in the correctly chosen art style.

My inspiration for creating art comes from a deep need to understand the power and meaning of images, objects or visuals when it interacts with each other. For example, its like looking at a trainwreck or an auto accident, you are not sure why you keep looking even though its clearly just an accident. Its a deep human need to imagine the POV(point of view) of the object or the people’s experiencing the crash. The crash for me is the “energy of the images” when its placed or juxtaposed together. It creates a new experience for me and something for me to think about when I catch glimpse of it in my environment, movies, the internet, art, music books and photography.

I mostly work with acrylics on canvas. It dries fast and allow me to layer and work over it without mudding up its colors like oils. I received my BFA, Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from San Francisco State University. I had an amazing opportunity to study under Paul Pratchenko and Richard Mclean.

I love working on big canvases, 8 foot to 15 foot is my favorite size. I have done commission paintings up to 60 ft. I even use to paint billboards in San Francisco and Los Angeles before the onslaught of big Billboard ink-jet printers. Commission the best San Francisco Bay Area artist by calling 1-415-789-4062.

Branding is one of the most important aspects of your business. An effective brand & strategy gives you a major edge over your competitors. What does “branding” mean? How does it affect your business? A simple answer to this is, “Your Brand” is “Your Promise” to “Your Customer”. It tells them what they can expect from your products and services, and it differentiates your offering from your competitors’. Your brand identifies “who you are”, “who you want to be” and “who people perceive you to be”.

Are you the edgy and innovative product/company? Are the you experienced, and reliable product/company? Are your products high-cost, and high-quality? or the low-cost, high-value option? You can’t be both, and you can’t be all things to all people.

Your brand should be based to some extent on who your target customers want and need you to be. The foundation of your brand is your logo. Your website, packaging and promos, all of which should integrate with your logo to effectively communicate your brand.

The simplest of logos always seem to be the most brilliant! A great logo concept is satisfying to look at because it doesn’t take any work to understand it. Thats because it took a lot of conceptualizing and planning to get it this way.

In my logo design process, i’ll try many different angles on a concept, then subtract elements that are not needed.

The final logo composition will not need a single thing added while further removing anything from it will lessen the impact.

Inspiration for any kind of creation is quick and fleeting… You must hang on to it (the process) with both hands. If you let go of it and not ride it through its fully potential, it floats back into the universe for someone else to claim as their own.

A good logo must successfully serve its purpose. Good design is about making things function properly first, and making them aesthetically pleasing second. In the case of logo creation, that means it communicates its intended message.

The first step in logo creatation is “Getting the right idea”, the second is “Getting the idea right”, quote by Marty Neumeier in “The Brand Gap”
