My new last-minute illustration for Davinci Coffee Co’s annual illustration contest. I did not place as high as I had last year, but there were a LOT of fantastic submissions this year that are quite inspiring. Congrats to those gents and gent-ettes. I am not too fond of this illustration but I’m posting it out of mere need just to post something since I haven’t in a while. You can trash talk it in the comments. Thank you.

This is the third annual Kyrios Conference for Dongshin Presbyterian in Daegu, S.Korea, and this is the flyer. I don’t do much design usually, but recently had a couple gigs under way including this one. Feel free to look into this event if you are in the Daegu area. Cheers.
One of the 3 paintings I finished up back in May was chosen to be displayed at the 5th Saehayan Art Exhibition in Daegu, SKorea. Much thanks to my beautiful fiance for being there to accept my certificate and a gift from the association.
I’m much more focused on illustration these days so I don’t graphic design much but I thought I’d share some solo design work that I did a few months ago. It’s a flyer to promote Dongshin English Church’s conference here in Korea back in October.
The theme of the conference was “contentment” so I couldn’t get the maze idea out of my head. To be content, you have to somehow try to enjoy your life no matter where you may be stuck. That feels like a maze or labyrinth to me. It wasn’t what the pastor had in mind at first but the other members of the church expressed their interest in it.
Last May a friend shared info with me on the Art House Co-Op’s “Sketchbook Project”. I thought it was pretty rad idea so I signed myself up. It’s basically a ‘sketchbook concert tour…but with sketchbooks’ as they advertise it. It’s definitely a unique way to share your artwork along with other artists around the globe besides the common conventions of the internet, café galleries, and what have you..
My apologies for the terrible quality of the images. My nikon recently went for a swim in Seoul a couple weeks ago. It still has a bad case of ‘jughead’ so to speak. Thus I resorted to my iphone.
The cover. That was a fun one.
A couple Japanese ladies I met in..well..Japan 2010 – They were kind enough to sign their names below the sketch. Anyone read Japanese? / A model for the CUD Fashion Show 2009.
Sketch I did on the Shinkansen (Japan’s bullet train).

You can now see the whole book, even the terrible bleed-throughs, in much better quality at the arthouse site here.
