So I have been quite absent with releasing new wallpapers and print pieces in 2010. In all honesty, after designing Afterburner: Commence in August of 2009, I kind of felt like I had to re-invent myself yet again to pursue a new degree and generation of digital illustration work that I display on my site. To quickly go over a history of the “reinvention” that I have done, back in 2006 I went through a designers block where I felt like my wallpaper and print design pieces have not evolved in the past 4 to 5 years. That disturbed me a lot and bothered me to a point where I significantly forced myself to acquire new Photoshop skills and the production of digital art pieces as a whole. After this initial reinvention, it resulted in quite successful pieces such as Trans Minimum: Kasha, Stridence, Eternus Somnium, Leviathan, and so on…
Of course I have had quite a success in the end of 2009 and 2010 with personal clients so that has been taking up a lot of my time. I also put together and released the film portion of Execution 4 //: The Mind Games Initiative, as well as my 3rd e-book: Hana. I have been far from dead in terms of producing work for Dream Infinity Studios, just have been slow with the result and releasing it out onto this website.
So, in the Winter of 2009, almost immediately after the release of “Nocturne Phoenix”, I went through yet another personal reinvention again to prepare myself to do a whole new direction and work flow of my digital illustration art work. After several months of hiatus in the wallpaper department, the day where you get to see my first piece of the result of new techniques and work flow comes live. I present to you Geonosis.
I also had a pleasure working with a photo piece from photographer, Jessica Truscott, who shot a quite awesome model shot included in Geonosis. You can visit her site here.

Wow it’s been a long while since I posted. I apologize for the lack of updates but I been extremely busy with work and other things related to life. I have some exciting news coming up for this site and things related to my work so please stay tuned.
I am not much of a rap / r&b fan but Eminem has been someone that inspired me for quite sometime (ever since his Eminem show record). I tend to lean towards musicians that have inspirational lyrics and are not afraid to show emotions. His new song “Love the Way You Lie” with Rihanna just blew me away recently. This new video gave me the chills. Please check it out below:
The website (particularly this blog) may go down tonight at about 3:00AM PDT for mysql security password change that will be done by my host, Media Temple. I am not desiring to stay up to make sure the site is up at 3 in the morning so the only way I will know is by next morning tomorrow. I did update my password so that my hosting companies mysql security password update does not affect my domain, however, they are stating that it is possible that this may still happen.
If it does happen, the site will come back up so please do not worry. More news soon.
So I opened up the working file for “Hana” last night. The design and concept has significantly matured from my first version of the e-book and I am trying to work on it as much as I can outside of client projects. I decided to see if there was any art work or websites that constituted something along the lines of death and dedication to someone who died. I always want to see if other people out there try to do what I do which lead me to a website called “Days with my Father”.
This is an excellent website that moved me, made me tingle and inspired all at once. I found myself holding back a tear or two while reading and looking at such beautiful composition of text and photography. One of the best and inspirational sites I have found in a while. Check it out here:
The Hana book was promised in Q1 of 2010 I know, but as usual, I want to release nothing but the best so I am going to take a bit more time on it. This is the final chapter of my prolonged communication subject about death and my days with my grandmother who has practically raised me since birth. I appreciate your patience.
I apologize sincerely for the lack of updates coming into the new year. I have been busy with a lot of client side projects and it has been a hectic year so far. A year ago today I already busted out 2 wallpapers and I again apologize that it’s not like that this year. As you can tell, a lot of my time spent has been on my new portfolio site (which the motion graphics section isn’t complete yet) and a new content tutorials here and there but it’s just not ready to get published yet.
So to be fair, I want to expose the laundry list of stuff that I am planning to do this year:
- Get the motion graphics section running. I know this isn’t your typical cup of tea you want from my site but it needs to be done
- Collaborative wallpaper with Kjell-Roger Ringstad
- 2 wallpapers are on the works here and there
- Version 15.3.5. There are certain things on this site I am not really keen with in terms of design and content.
- Tutorials, both written and video
- “Hana” book. I know I promised Q1 of 2010. I am going to try my best to do this, although April is likely. And April is already Q2 2010…
So again, sincere apologies. I promise to deliver some of the list I mentioned above within this year.
