a bouquet of heads

With this new year, I managed to start on a couple of new things. One of them is this new tumblr that I started as a way for me to exercise my eye in design, as well as to show my longtime obsession with skulls and bones, but most importantly to have fun.

The idea for this little project is not about joining the skull icon's rise to the top of the trend ladder. It's about how I want people to change their perception of the skull's imagery by putting them into different contexts, thus creating new meanings in the process.

Enough of my conceptual talk, you can just go to abouquetofheads.tumblr.com and see what its really all about.

punch me with paint

 The last time I did the collage series, I was accompanying my friend painting and we used some scrap magazines for our 'palette' and here is how it looked like,

Continuing from my previous series, I think I'm getting hooked with making collages. Although now, I tried with a slightly different approach. I'm combining the 'painting palette' with some editorial photography but mixing them digitally.

Still continuing with the visual connection towards a more sartorial approach. But this time, the concept is sort of about the aesthetic of brutality.

I also made 16 other alternative compositions. So which one do you like?

Let me know :)

 SCRIBBLES OVER MAGAZINE

SERIES

I’m done for the semester, so I’m enjoying freedom :D With nothing to do, I gather some left over magazines I found and make a bit of some artworks inspired by a more sophisticated vandalism, such as the dadaism art movement. The attempt in sophisticating vandalism may come through my use of paint and markers (instead of the standard spray paint) or from my chosen subject matter that gravitates towards the world of fashion. Maybe its sort of my own contribution, to show people that we should recognize the limitless capabilities in the world of art.

One might always thought of graffiti as just an act of vandalism, but they forgot about the craftsmanship and the ideas on those imagery splattered on public walls. If you're one of them, please be more appreciative of other human beings? You might be mocking them before, but you can see now that Zevs' dripping Chanel illustration or Stephen Sprouse's LV graffiti bag had been quite a big hit.

So here's a bit of my own interpretation on such act of 'creative deconstruction' combined with some elements of fashion to give birth to a wide range of new ideas.
