Typography

This is my Typography of the letter H. I grabbed a bunch of different H's and layered them systematically. I decided to only add a few colors to make up the focal point and most important H in the left hand corner.

Poster

So this is my poster I made for Halloween. The words is used are two dialects of Russian translating "monster mash" I added an eerie haunted house in the background of the monsters to give it a more scary landscape. The thing I like most was the grain filter on the monsters giving them an old poster or comic book look.

Collage

This is my collage. I used a collage of stencils from one of my favorite political artist Bansky. He uses stencils to make a statement. I decided to add in a phrase "Cant stop the crooks" because he is looked at as a menace to society yet an artist that cant be stopped. I added red lines because I thought that it was a sort of censorship that is used around all graffiti. They cover up murals with bland paint.

RANSOM X ADIDAS Originals

I like how the portrayal of the footwear brings to the table a philosophy that allows it to get the job done both aesthetically and on a mild performance level. Its a good view of the different circumstances the modern day man encounters. From going to the grocery store to hiking out in the woods. I consider myself a shoe connoisseur and this video really gets the point across that these shoes are made for the individual in constant motion.

Takashi Murakami

Takashi Murakami has a huge influence on me in the art world. This large-scale masterpiece titled "A Picture Of The Blessed Lion Who Stares At Death" was just one of the many great pieces in his art exhibition called "Picture of Fate: I Am But A Fisherman Who Angles in the Darkness of his Mind" I think that the title of the painting brings it to life with the knowledge that the lion in the middle stares at death.

Damien Hirst- The Blue Painting

The paintings shown in the video, in my mind, are astonishing. I like how the artist utilizes the skulls and eerie blue tint in a lot of them. The use of dots and the white against the blue black background gives it a very unique feeling to them.
