Album Art for Matt Brevner

2010-03-08T03:12:00.000-08:00

My boy, the original emcee and producer, Matt Brevner asked me to do the art for his next album, Eclectricity. This is what I came up with for the front so far..

Here's stage one of the sketch.. Yeah, I know, it's crappy. Heh..

2, cleaned up

3, colored and digitized

Matt has not decided his track names yet therefore the album art can yet be completed. He and I were quite happy with this so I was excited to post this up. So the final product is still to come.

Make sure you go check out Matt's music.

One of my favorite songs by Matt.. Never gonna be my friend ft. Fembot - UNSIGNED - by Brevner

Meets Region

2010-02-13T02:06:00.000-08:00

I've picked up a new job doing illustration for Meets Region, an Osaka monthly magazine that mainly talks about food and recommends places to eat. Inside of it there is an 14 page black and white section under the title Meets Culture. It covers recent gallery shows, music, books, comics, games, film, etc.. culture stuff. I illustrate for one of the columns inside where my client interviews people who he finds interesting. For example, this person http://www.artscape.ne.jp/artscape/blogs/blog2/2009/10/_baikado.html who built a gallery/workshop by the river in an old factory house with his own bare hands or this person http://notpillar.com/ who runs an online bookstore mainly focused on art books and zines from all over the world to the person responsible for this project http://hanareproject.net/. Pretty rad stuff. My client lets me do anything I want for it and can be or not related to the contents of the column as long as it my style.

Here's the first month..

Artists I'm stoked on recently

2009-12-15T08:59:00.000-08:00

Martine Johanna. I really like her style and the fact that she likes to draw girls and people just as much as I do, except a hundred times better.

Drawings from Personal Circles

2009-11-24T07:56:00.000-08:00

The show's concept was to have the other illustrators and I make simple drawings of things around us with a caption- like a diary- hence the name 'Personal Circles'.

These are some friends that skate at a local park in Osaka known as Triangle Park. It's a place where most people just meet up, hang out, drink beer, skate, and have a good time.

Dirty South of Osaka

This is typically what's consumed over the weekend. My mom must be proud.

One of my toys. Simple and fun.

Another one of my toys. Initially it was stolen from my mom but she ended up not caring and gave it to me as a gift.

She came into my dreams one night. Sitting by me on my bed she looked in to my eyes and said, "I want everything." For a moment I tried to figure what she meant by everything. Realized that it didn't matter, I looked back and told her, "I'd give it."

My work area.

My rest area. Back to back to my rest area.

Felt like doing water colors.

My friends from the park told me he lost his mind by doing too much drugs. Now he is homeless and living in Triangle Park. He used to be a DJ.

The other hand that gets the slack.

When I get bored. I draw girls.

I was flipping through my momi.ero photo book shot by YasumasaYonehara. Should be fun having his job.

Personal Circles Reception Party

2009-11-16T09:14:00.000-08:00

Great thanks to all that showed up to our Personal Circles exhibition! Special thanks to the good people at OOO- Duncan, Tetsuya-san (http://www.outofoffice.jp), Sumiya-san and iTohen staff (http://www.skky.info/) for inviting me to join this show and did such an amazing job organizing the whole event.

The piece in the middle here is the only one of Mugi's work I have in my photo collection. I forgot to take pictures Mugi-san's pieces and I'm totally kicking myself for it because I really like her work. Good thing she has a website! http://www.mugiko.com/

Look her up on youtube as well. She does some neat animations with her drawings.

Personal Circles

2009-10-09T22:49:00.000-07:00

Currently working on a group show with four other artists based outside of Japan. This exhibition is called Personal Circles where each of us will have 20-30 single color drawings of our own little world. The show will be held from November 4th to 15th in Itohen Gallery Cafe and Books, Osaka. Photos will be posted after the show ends. Stayed tuned, folks!

Hella daaooop!

Art in Osaka

2009-09-03T04:29:00.000-07:00

I can't get over the fact that all the art attention in Japan is paid to Tokyo while Osaka is filled with talented people and fresh galleries. The money is spent to have great events and venues in the city but yet it is hardly noticed. Osaka is well over-looked and really shouldn't be. I learned many facts about art in Osaka since I met my friend, Duncan, who share similar thoughts as me. Except he took it in action and he is mapping all the galleries and events in Osaka. To add to that, he posts the local beers and restaurants he finds. Topping off all that goodness, he even started a free bi-monthly art guide of Osaka for foreigners in Japan. FLAG-which stands for Foreigner's Live Art Guide is the name of the guide. Pick one up or go check out his blog http://tsunagarid.blogspot.com/. See for yourself. Really beneficial to anyone who wants to what's going on in the city of Osaka. Contents are both in English and Japanese! Stay up! Don't sleep on Osaka!

Hi all, it's been a while since my last post. Been busy with moving, my new home, new job, and general hustling.

Personal Art Show - Vorld

2009-06-18T09:55:00.001-07:00

This was an art show I did with my friend, Ephka www.ephka.com. It was called Vorld- as in Vagina World. We believe the provocative subject is the true creator and destructor of life. It effects all forms of life. It creates love, hate, conflictand peace. It devours and spits you out...

With the help of friends, Ephka and I got to complete the monster on time. Doing this show was really fun. Looking forward to the next one. The show was shown in the gallery space of Chickennot in Kyoto City http://chickennot.jp. Thanks to Taito san for the generous hook up!

VAGINA MONSTER DEVOURS ALL!!

Here are my paintings for the show...
