I'm currently working on flash character and game interface illustrations. The beta for the project was approved and the team has the approval to add a few more levels to the online game. Check back for more updates on the project!

Designing a tattoo was much more difficult than I thought it would be. Even now, I think my art looks too "clean" to be a tattoo, but I'm not sure how to "roughen" it up. Maybe I should redo it with more of a pen-and ink look... I don't think it looks "unique" enough yet. I'll post updates as the project continues to transform.

I liked the way this looks, but the swirls are a bit too much for tattooing purposes:



In short, I think I'm thinking like too much of a graphic designer and not enough like a tattoo artist!

"You should sell these!!" is what I often hear regarding these made-for-friends projects. But being a business student, there is so much involved with starting a business, building the capital to run a business, finding the time to be able to run the business, marketing the concept, etc. I don't think I'm amped enough to start a magnet-making business. Maybe later it can be a viable idea, but right now I'm not ready to take it live.



On a side note, the "Play-With-Your Friends Dolls" were initially "Play-With-Yourself" Dolls—aptly named so because I made each doll for the person it represented. However, due to the highly suggestive (yet amusing) title, I am forced to reconsider and settle with "Play-With-Your-Friends," which can be more readily marketed to PG audiences without concern. I say PG instead of G because I include a set of beer bottles with the dolls, so I want to warn all parents out there that despite the innocent appearance of the figures, the target audience is college-level students, not kids.
