I know u've been seeing some of us rocking sneak peek of what should be coming out

10 plagues or makot mitzrayim as the hebrews call it shows how God used one man to destroy an empire

Blackberry storm. This is prob. one of the best shirts i have ever designed. Most shirts i design have an inside meaning, but the simplicity of it really makes it appealing. This shirt is dedicated to Yves Saint of the niceguys. I call it the blackberry storm because Yves writes his rhymes on a blackberry. The storm signifys his lyrics, because he spits that thunder. But the main reason why i like this shirt alot is because of the color choice. It is in black and that symbolizes how nobody knows yves saint like his mixtape name. Yves has been working hard to get his music out for so long. He has been doing his thing for a while now and nobody knows him. This shirt represents his life in music. Simple but has alot of history in it

whether he smoked weed or not, phelps is still a champion for real.

another special easy yves saint collabo shirt. EYS not YSL. Get familiar, Queens is the new rive guache

For the past couple of weeks, school has been a pain. This semester has proven to me why graphic design isn't something to joke with. I am working on a project where i have to redesign letterheads, business cards, envelopes, billboards and a shit load of stationery for the musuem of funeral history in houston. ( i never knew anything like that existed, i know its a crazy project). The reason why this assignment is very hard is because we aren't allowed to add any cliches in the campaign like coffins, crows etc. We really had to think outside the box and come up with different ideas. For the past 9 weeks to be exact, i have been drawing and laying out ideas for my final. Shit is hard. For my project, i used an owl to represent the company. Crows are the easy way out, but an owl def. brought something different and interesting. Since the company is about the history of funerals, i wanted to make sure i use something that related to it in a non- cliche manner. Below are a fraction of work i did for the project

I got a shit load of stuff i came up with. I will post the final stuff as soon as its done

Like i said earlier, Graphic design ain't a joke. Not too long ago, i posted a project i was working on which was a photography book on the Nigerian culture in houston called: NIGERIA IN HOUSTON- PEOPLE AND CULTURE.
