PPMK Character Concepts





Post Post Modern Kids. A story setting in which the youth wakes up in a world absent of adults & full of unkown turmoil and hidden surprises. A story for the relentless amount of pressure that today's youth face and their understandable amount of complacency, confusion, and lack of enthusiasm and wonder in the world around them - a brand new start in a deconstructed and strange new environment all about survival.

This is just the first character and the very beginning of the process but it's a concept that I'm passionate about and an idea that has already offered restless ideas and infinite possibilities for expansion. Somebody please think of the children!

Summer Semester Is Over



And i have a lot of new work to show... but I still have a lot of past works to upload.

Utada Hikaru is arguably one of the best-selling, most successful Japanese artists of all time. She was born in NYC and is in fluent in both English and Japanese. At only 25 years of age, the singer-songwriter-producer-arranger has already released 5 full-length Japanese albums and is working on her 3rd full-length English right now (under UTADA, her family name). Her sound is eclectic yet her vocal arrangements and harmonies are completely her own.

She is both an inspiration and all-time favorite so it was important that I do this visual recreation of her album Ultra Blue correctly and with style. Of the work I've done so far, this is definitely one of my personal favorites.

PS. the obnoxious banners & copyright stuff will come down when the Orphan Works Act is no longer a threat to all artists/creative persons. To anybody that fits this criteria or simply appreciates the fact that artists help elevate over-all social experience then please educate yourself on the Orphan Works Act. I am in the process of doing so and will be posting again on it some time soon.

Tell A Friend, Tell A Foe!



My portfolio site is up! I've got quite a bit of work to do in terms of adding galleries and fine-tuning html settings, but I'm very pleased with it so far. I know that this little link-graphic-thing I've created is the same BG pic as the header for this blog so expect a reworking of the blog sometime soon.

And if you don't have the latest version of flash then it will prompt you to download it.

Enjoy! (click the picture for the link)
