Google I/O

Here is a project I did with Google's I/O event for tech developers. I was asked to reinterpret the I/O logo which stands for input/output. I drew inspiration from the bay area, specifically its dynamic mixture, of beaches, hills, peninsulas, and various urban areas. In this piece, I repeated the logo I/O three times to create a nice vertical stack. It can also be viewed as 1's and 0's since that is the written binary code for input and output. This is further emphasized with blobby 1's and 0's used as fill in patterns in some areas. 

Upcoming Solo Show

Debut of my latest body of work 'Type Faces' at 886 Geary Gallery in San Francisco. Hope to meet some of you in person and answer any questions you may have about the work!

About

Type Faces came from my interest in typography and portraiture. As the series has developed, I have explored patterns between language and identity in a social, historic, and cultural sense.Typefaces, and typecasts are tools for identifying. We use them to communicate and make sense or sometimes distort our perceived realities. In today’s globalized social environment, so much of our perceived notions have become hybridized, and vague. In that regard, these works are an observation of identity as cultural landscape paintings and drawings. They are small samples and remixes of expression in an ever-shrinking world.

Commercial Work

There's a new button on my site for Commercial projects. Sometimes the lines between Commercial & Fine Art are blurred. While some projects might seem to fit into both sections, there are others that need to be separate. It's all me though, I love working in both categories. Thanks for viewing and enjoy!

New Page

Just added a new 'DRAWINGS' button to my site. It features scanned drawings of mine for better viewing and archiving.
