The 2nd one in the series is online. This one is titled Doppelganger: Agape.
The “Doppelganger” series is one of many artworks that I have started working on since April, and communicates and illustrates the idea of your “shadow self, adapting your existence into an environment that you are not really used to.” The adaptation of your shadow self or your alternate version of you follows along the lines of “Love styles” originally developed by John Lee. He identified six basic love styles—also known as “colors” of love—that people use in their interpersonal relationships with others. Love styles are models of how people love, even if the situation is not something they are regularly exposed to.

Hello folks. I apologize again for the lack of updates but have been extremely busy with commercial work. But don’t fret, I have also been busy with a lot of my own work and I am writing today to expose to you the 1st wallpaper of many coming out within this year. This one is titled “Doppelganger: Mania”, and is a work that was done back in April. I have sat this work around wondering if I wanted to release it before the others of a series I am working on, but I decided to give it a go and release it beforehand.

Dream Infinity Studios will be closed for a day of silence tomorrow, March 18th, starting roughly around 12:00 PDT (-8 GMT). This is to mourn and remember the victims of the devastating earthquake in Japan that was followed by a Tsunami that destroyed a good portion of Northern Japan.
So far, Dream Infinity Studios has only closed their website down for one day, which was the September 11th terrorist attacks. We feel that this recent disaster is in the same level of heart break and devastation as 9/11, and feel it is appropriate for us to close it down to mourn and to remember the victims who have been affected by this devastation.
Thank you for your understanding and please donate if you can by clicking the image on this post. Any small amount of money counts!

Recently, a pre-production to a project based on racism has been in the works. The project itself was something I have been wanting to do for quite a long time now, but it has only been recent, where it started to be conceived on paper and in my head.
The reason I mention this is because I have long been wanting to intersect social problems and psychological science with my design work for quite sometime. I been notoriously infamous for executing projects based on my personal experiences and my personal psyche, but I have always thought that it is important to fuel that creative energy to execute something that communicates to the world about human rights and political problems that we face today.
Outside of the recent events in Japan, there has also been a number of issues going on in the United States alone, where a small little problem turned into a big problem via social media. If you have not been in touch with U.S news, there were some big uprising and anger within the state of California, specifically southern California, over a college girl (Alexandra Wallace) who created a video ranting about a specific race and her connection within that over the devastating disaster Japan is currently still recovering from.

Dream Infinity Studios sends out condolences to anyone who was affected by the devastating earthquake measuring 8.9 magnitude. For someone who has been to Japan many times over, I am sad to see that a beloved and peaceful country be part of such atrocities and disaster.
Some details:
- About 4 million homes in and around Tokyo are without power
- The largest quake recorded was 9.5 magnitude in Chile in 1960
- The 8.9-magnitude quake is 231 miles from Tokyo
- The quake rattles buildings and topples cars off bridges into waters underneath
