I’m still grinding hard on a few new projects, but recently I debuted a collection of images that I took in Havana over the years. I miss working in photography, expect more photo-based work pretty soon! The work originally appeared over at Parlour. Click on the image to start the show.

So while I sit here and crank out some openers in After-Effects for Parlour, I can’t help but think how much I would really like to be back in Cuba right about now. You probably won’t find an image like this in any tour book, but it is the toll stop on the main road that connects Havana with all of the cities/provinces east..as well as the beeeaaaaaccchhhhheeeees. Great for top-down driving.
Ok, I have to finish these things.
So in early 2009, Berman Fenelus asked to photograph me as a part of a set of creatives that he was capturing for CLAM Magazine, based out of Paris. But there was a catch—I had to answer a set of questions about living creatively, being green, art, life, etc. So fast forward a few months and there I am, towards the front. It’s dope to have been selected to appear along side culture-creators like Wajeed, Fuse Green (my twisted mentor and honorary big-brother), DJ Rashida, Amir Ebrahimi, and Emanoel Aranujo, who served as the inspiration for the issue.

Recently, my friend Nichelle decided to start her own consultancy, Private Intellectual and needed a quick and dirty identity and web-presence while she builds her materials. The logo (see above) I did it pretty straight-forward. A Helvetica-family typeface, with just some simple mods and kerning. She came up with the idea and I just tightened it up – but there is something about the yellow that I absolutely love.
Only the granddaughter of Che Guevara, Lydia Guevara could get away with posing naked, sans a bandolier of carrots in support of PETA and vegetarianism. Now, I wonder, are those Marxist carrots? I just need to make the connection because “join the vegetarian revolution” is not enough.
spotted while having lunch at Cafe Habana yesterday. I’ve heard about Claudette but props to the crew at Eleven Vintage for telling her story to the cool kids who frequent that block.
What a week. Other than polishing up 2 projects for a client, banging out a website and 2 logos I had two awesome things happen to me. 1) I got to hang with two of the illest motion designers in the biz, and 2) I was hooked with Soul Train as a client.
Yes, that Soul Train! Legendary dance show with one of the best identities ever….that train and the Soul Train logo always held a special place in my heart. *moment of sappiness*
But before that, a big crazy shout out to Ricardo & Deka for braving that reggae night with me in Williamsburg on Tuesday. See what happens when 3 tired creatives blend with roots and red stripe after a long day of RGB debauchery: Continue reading ‘Today Was A Good Day…’
So while I spend my days trying to remix the website, enjoy this candid glimpse into the life & times of a freelance creative with secret dreams of singing back-up for Tina Turner.
