Hello, lonely, accidental internet surfer. I'm baaaaack. <br />
<br />
What took me so long? Life.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile here are a few examples of what I've been up to the past, oh, three years.<br />
<br />

<br />
The San Francisco Giants gave away copies of <a href="http://www.nightbeforebaseball.com/zyein79nujyjw6yymk757mxblak0fi" target="_blank"><b>Night Before Baseball at the Park by the Bay</b></a> (what a name, huh?) to the first 15,000 fans during the Giants vs. LA Dodgers game last July 6.<br />
<br />
It was a long process and quit an exciting one for me, a long time SF Giants fan and former SF resident. I know The City well.<br />

the text, each brilliantly colored dinosaur a distinct individual.
Perspective, size, body language and facial expression all play a role
in capturing the story's moods . . . A romping-stomping choice for
dinosaur lovers and those similarly afraid of soap in their eyes." </i>- <a href="https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/tim-myers/down-dino-wash-deluxe/" target="_blank">Kirkus Reviews</a></span><br />

This was a tricky one. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
How do you design a poster for an event that implies fun + helping typhoon disaster relief? To me, images of people were out of the question. There is also the risk of being too specific and exploitative.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In the end, I went with one of the first images that I saw from a friend's facebook post days after the storm. It was a photograph of coconut trees surviving the calamity even if half of it were torn away by the forceful winds. There is sadness there, but also hope. </div>

Yes, I'm still alive. Just a tad busy this year. </div>

Below is a poster I did last night for a new weekly event at The Blue Room, a local Davao bar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It was my first time designing an event poster & I enjoyed it. Originally, I planned to have it replicate the painted concert posters genre (good stuff <a href="http://insidetherockposterframe.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2012-07-23T06:03:00-04:00&max-results=20">here</a>), but I had to add the hotel's logo somewhere (bar is located in the hotel) and noticed that it looked similar enough to the old DC Comics logo. Hence, the comic book cover feel. </div>
