Just a few designs I tossed up for this Akomplice Contest over @ www.bnqt.com, and I won with one of them! I'm super excited about it, I don't know which design they chose but either way I'm really grateful that they thought mine stood out. Akomplice is such a real company, some definate success story shit. Alright, check out the designs, and check out their site for more Fire... Peace.<br /><br /><a href="http://bnqt.com/article.php?id=7459">Winning Results</a><br /><br /> <a href="http://akomplice-clothing.com/">Akomplice Clothing</a><br /><br />"JOAK" Tee. The name is a collaboration of "JO for Jordan & AK for Akomplice", which is exactly what the shirt is. Classic Jordan Dunks, layed out in small detail throughout the Akomplice Logo.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://inlinethumb59.webshots.com/41530/2315001820103323121S600x600Q85.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://inlinethumb59.webshots.com/41530/2315001820103323121S600x600Q85.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://inlinethumb05.webshots.com/43780/2667812830103323121S600x600Q85.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://inlinethumb05.webshots.com/43780/2667812830103323121S600x600Q85.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />"The King" Tee. Martin Luther, I can't really sum up how this man changed the world. So, some dedication was necessary. Full Frontal Graphic, with the Crown being layed out in Gold Foil. On the Back it reads, "We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the Earth as Brothers & Sisters..."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://inlinethumb31.webshots.com/19806/2772824720103323121S600x600Q85.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://inlinethumb31.webshots.com/19806/2772824720103323121S600x600Q85.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://inlinethumb03.webshots.com/1666/2699483030103323121S600x600Q85.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://inlinethumb03.webshots.com/1666/2699483030103323121S600x600Q85.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />"The Re-Up" Tee. This is just a little timeline of some of the past AK Designs. Always gotta remember where you came from... I tossed one of mine in the '09 spot just as a possibility, haha, and so the design was symmetrical. Hope you enjoy.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://inlinethumb10.webshots.com/38793/2583157840103323121S600x600Q85.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://inlinethumb10.webshots.com/38793/2583157840103323121S600x600Q85.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />"The Pen Is Mightier" Tee. This design is unfinished, but wanted to hype it a bit. The finished piece will be alot different, probably only one of these stills, but wanted to toss the idea out there. Joe Pesci pen scene from "Casino", proving that the Pen is indeed mightier than the sword...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://inlinethumb57.webshots.com/11960/2261941930103323121S600x600Q85.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://inlinethumb57.webshots.com/11960/2261941930103323121S600x600Q85.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /> Word... I have some more Akomplice design ideas I'm tossin up as I write this just for the hell of it. Don't want to reveal too much, haha, but I will say that one of them is going to be a dedication to Nas' classic track, "Life is like a dice game" with some street dice action going down on the Tee. So get ready for that piece & check back here soon... Alright, thanks for checkin these out, hope you're feelin 'em, and definate Thanks & Peace to Akomplice for pickin one of my pieces as a Winner. Real amped on that...

I went and saw 10,000 BC the other day and it got prehistoric beasts on my mind. I had a dream later that night about dinosaurs interacting with current day animals and so I wanted to work on something to represent that. There was about 9 or 10 photos used for this composite.

I was inspired by this piece of art I came across a few weeks back, and thought I'd try to do a 3D projection of the 2D image. So, I took the original image and added to it a little bit, to give it a little more depth that I would need for the 3D Scene. It had been a while since my last 3D projection project, so I wanted to do this one just to stay up on My Skills... I'm happy with the End Result.<br /><br />The original artwork is from a man named Ric Stultz... The rest of his work is AMAZING, so please check the following links to see the rest of his Stuff.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ricstultz.com/">Ric Stultz - Main Website</a><br /><a href="http://www.futurepassed.com/">Future Passed - Ric Stultz Alias</a><br /><br />The High-Resolution version of this animation can be downloaded at the following link:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.badongo.com/vid/639882/1">"The Sad Persistence Of Time" - High Resolution</a><br /><br />"The Sad Persistence Of Time" - Original Artwork by Ric Stultz<br /><a href="http://aycu01.webshots.com/image/45280/2001131481478140418_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu01.webshots.com/image/45280/2001131481478140418_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Matte Painting & Extension Additions<br /><a href="http://aycu13.webshots.com/image/43852/2001141772314060891_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu13.webshots.com/image/43852/2001141772314060891_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />3D Animation:<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xuhYrExBsto&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xuhYrExBsto&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>nawledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10244262511475103276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141081847766723816.post-25962526636109531762008-02-27T19:53:00.016-08:002008-02-29T01:38:03.187-08:00Ski DesignsHere's another mock-advertisement for a faux ski company I created called "Apparatus". Basically I just had some existing art that I had done in Photoshop, and applied it to some ski templates. The designs are pretty basic, I just wanted the advertisement as a whole to look dope, that was the main goal... The individual designs are below.<br /><br /><a href="http://aycu27.webshots.com/image/45066/2001119636092272111_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu27.webshots.com/image/45066/2001119636092272111_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/v/2006390124368452483"><img border="0" src="http://aycu37.webshots.com/image/43396/2006390124368452483_rs.jpg" alt="Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com"/></a><br /><a href="http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/v/2006348823098000630"><img border="0" src="http://aycu17.webshots.com/image/46336/2006348823098000630_rs.jpg" alt="Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com"/></a><br /><a href="http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/v/2006342740775294601"><img border="0" src="http://aycu28.webshots.com/image/46467/2006342740775294601_rs.jpg" alt="Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com"/></a><br /><a href="http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/v/2006329514235776259"><img border="0" src="http://aycu38.webshots.com/image/45437/2006329514235776259_rs.jpg" alt="Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com"/></a>nawledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10244262511475103276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141081847766723816.post-49560913742983817512008-02-27T19:53:00.015-08:002008-02-29T09:45:16.453-08:00Ty-Ku SakeNormally, I only post things related to the various designs I do on this blog. BUT, there comes a time when exceptions must be made. Ty-Ku is one of those exceptions. Alize & Courvoisier have seen their day, Hennesey + E&J have made their way, get the Ty-Ku cause it's a new day. For real though, this is the nectar of the gods. I picked up a bottle when I was in Vegas last, and am now upset that I didn't snag a case. You can't find this Shit ANYWHERE here in Salt Lake, but I highly recommend special ordering some of this Crack-Ambrosia for yourselves, it is just as good straight as it is a mixer. PLUS, it's changing the game in a whole new way, there is a small green LED light at the base of the bottle, and when it's turned on the entire bottle glows a ballin green... Patent Pending Mahfucka's.<br /><br /><a href="http://aycu17.webshots.com/image/45976/2001138770447234512_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu17.webshots.com/image/45976/2001138770447234512_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://aycu23.webshots.com/image/45582/2004524379012264289_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu23.webshots.com/image/45582/2004524379012264289_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>nawledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10244262511475103276noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141081847766723816.post-19606371343817140822008-02-27T19:53:00.012-08:002008-02-29T01:15:32.000-08:00AKOMPLICE X EMPIREThis is a little mock-ad I did for the Akomplice clothing X Empire gloves collaboration... If y'all ain't up on Akomplice, YOU'RE SLEEPING. Easily one of, if not my favorite streetwear company. They've been droppin nothin but FRESH gear since they started, and they're just gonna keep movin' and buildin'. And so far I've been down with the stuff that Empire has been puttin out also, so keep your eyes on that brand too.

Chop up some sequences. Here's a couple I just finished about a week ago, I have no idea who this first one is, but it is easily one of the SICKEST zero spins I've ever seen. The clip that I used to pull the still frames from is the new PBP/Theory3 Media movie "Journal" that's comin out next fall. Make sure to check the teaser for "Journal" to peep the clip of this zero drop, it's fuckin ILL... The next sequence after that is of a good buddy of mine that I work with here at the Alta Peruvian Lodge.<br /><br /><a href="http://aycu09.webshots.com/image/46088/2004570163849033517_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu09.webshots.com/image/46088/2004570163849033517_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://aycu26.webshots.com/image/46385/2004511206415064179_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu26.webshots.com/image/46385/2004511206415064179_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />The next couple are of yours truly...

Got quite a few of them printed and sold some to some various people & places. It was cool, but WAY too much work for just myself to take care of, so I sold the first wave and have been keeping the printing to a minimal lately. But, I always love working on shirt designs, so here's a new one I finished a few weeks back, just messin around on some No Country For Old Men Shit, this was a mock-design for The Levitation Project...<br /><br />By the way, follow the link below to see my Tee-Shirt blog, "Strictly Tees" with all of my other shirt designs on it:<br /><br /><a href="http://strictlytees.blogspot.com/">Strictly Tees Blog</a><br /><br /><a href="http://aycu18.webshots.com/image/47337/2003312187772343458_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu18.webshots.com/image/47337/2003312187772343458_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://aycu10.webshots.com/image/47209/2003348672419971481_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu10.webshots.com/image/47209/2003348672419971481_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>nawledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10244262511475103276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141081847766723816.post-46770626667655992472008-02-27T19:53:00.008-08:002008-02-29T00:33:46.000-08:00Various Designs For FunJust a whole bunch of random shit I would toss up while I was bored...

This first pic is of Phi-Phi Island in Thailand, close to where they filmed that movie "The Beach", I wanted the finished Matte to have a mystical jungle feel, with a ballin sunset. I was very happy with the end result.<br /><br />ORIGINAL:<br /><a href="http://aycu09.webshots.com/image/45768/2005190000633406916_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu09.webshots.com/image/45768/2005190000633406916_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />MATTE PAINTING:<br /><a href="http://aycu28.webshots.com/image/47307/2005134307232171843_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu28.webshots.com/image/47307/2005134307232171843_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Next, is a Matte I did from about 13 Images from the Yellow Mountains/Guilin Province in China... Some of the most amazing mountains on the planet, they have a look that is completely unique.<br />ORIGINAL:<br /><a href="http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/42869/2005130230820108246_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/42869/2005130230820108246_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />MATTE PAINTING:<br /><a href="http://aycu37.webshots.com/image/44916/2005168389903457922_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu37.webshots.com/image/44916/2005168389903457922_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Come on, just look at this fuckin place...

My Focus of this Demo Reel was Matte Paintings & Digital Environments. The Concept is taking a 2D Flat Image into a 3D Application, and Applying the 2D Image to 3D Models, to create a 3D Scene from a Flat Image that you can Fly Around and Interact with in 3D Space... Kind of technical to explain, but I think you'll get the picture from watching the Reel. Did some Rotoscoping too, as that is Essential for almost anything these days, you'll see that Towards the End of the Reel.

It was dope as hell, we had to choose any weapon we wanted, and model it from scratch. It was a fun project because we all had ultimate freedom to do what we wanted. So, I went for the Tommy Gun. It was such a classic gun and I've always thought the look of them was smooth, plus it's such a classic gangster piece, so it was the first choice to come to mind. Had to add some dolla's in there for extra flavor too...<br /><br /><a href="http://aycu06.webshots.com/image/46365/2003118366421210917_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu06.webshots.com/image/46365/2003118366421210917_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://aycu16.webshots.com/image/44615/2003106805202734764_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu16.webshots.com/image/44615/2003106805202734764_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/45549/2003122273892805555_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/45549/2003122273892805555_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>nawledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10244262511475103276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141081847766723816.post-32674080190496277812008-02-27T19:53:00.003-08:002008-02-28T23:31:02.606-08:00Final Group Projects At SchoolSo, I was attending the Visual Effects program at the Vancouver Institute for Media Arts (VanArts) last year up in Vancouver, BC from june '06 - june '07, and these are our final group projects for the year... There were 12 of us and we were split in two different groups to come up with a short film concept that would display our skills. I worked on the "Suspended Reality" project with 5 students, and the other 6 students worked on the "Zone 12" Project. It was fun, but I didn't really have the opportunity to display the skills that I wanted to display within our group project itself, so I kept my role pretty small in the group so I had more time to work on personal projects. Here are the finished projects with the breakdowns for each:<br /><br />"Suspended Reality"<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/INr5FgEnR30&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/INr5FgEnR30&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />"Suspended Reality" Brealdowns<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aKZYl53RcYY&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aKZYl53RcYY&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />"Zone 12"<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VoDHmNJnPjw&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VoDHmNJnPjw&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />"Zone 12" Breakdowns<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/l6Mo4Eg0w9o&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/l6Mo4Eg0w9o&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />The funnest thing about this project was that we each had individual assignments for the group, for the On-Set shoot day... Some people were in charge of food, or setting up the props and whatnot. My assignment for our group was to be the location manager for the area where we were going to film. So I was responsible for getting all the clearance from everybody that we would be able to shoot at our location. The best part about this shit was that the place we wanted to film was at this homeless housing project, it used to be a flourishing alley and it had a really nice look, but there were bums EVERYWHERE, and the alley was basically their back yard. SO, I had to go in and get friendly with not only the people that ran the project, but the heroin junky bums themselves, because they basically felt that we were invading they're property & privacy... <br /><br />So, I wanted to make sure that I had a good relationship with these junkies before our shoot so they didn't get crazy on us when we were trying to film. So I'd bring down donuts & cigarettes to these goons and chat with them for a while, let me just say there are some GRIMEY characters on the homeless circuit up in BC. Definately witnessed PLENTY of heroin cookin' up in the spoon, the smell of that shit is fuckin disgusting, plenty of needle insertions, crack deals, and some really shady fools. Anyway, here's a few pictures I took from that week:<br /><br /><a href="http://aycu36.webshots.com/image/47555/2003976267492549252_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu36.webshots.com/image/47555/2003976267492549252_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://aycu18.webshots.com/image/43817/2003924869696338540_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu18.webshots.com/image/43817/2003924869696338540_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://aycu21.webshots.com/image/44900/2003930171225348996_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu21.webshots.com/image/44900/2003930171225348996_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />This picture below is from inside the room from the picture above. It was pitch black in there, I couldn't see shit. So, I stuck my cam inside and took some shots, had no Idea if anybody was in there or what. It was fuckin sketchy...<br /><a href="http://aycu23.webshots.com/image/44542/2003969791412065803_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu23.webshots.com/image/44542/2003969791412065803_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>nawledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10244262511475103276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141081847766723816.post-8941197555288274752008-02-27T19:53:00.002-08:002008-02-28T23:37:36.577-08:00Audi TTThis was a car modelling project at school. We all had to model an Audi TT from Top/Side/Front perspective blueprints... This was our First BIG Project at school, this bitch probably took us a month at the time. It was fun but modelling sucks, it's tedious as hell.<br /><br /><a href="http://aycu28.webshots.com/image/45627/2003154017483823213_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu28.webshots.com/image/45627/2003154017483823213_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>nawledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10244262511475103276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141081847766723816.post-86542144159216853842008-02-27T19:53:00.001-08:002008-02-28T23:36:15.854-08:00Coliseum CompositeThis was our first BIG compositing project at school... The goal was to combine all the separate pieces of footage of the actor extras into one seamless shot of a filled coliseum, then add a matte painting as a background, and finally add some form of 3D Particles to finish it off. It was a DOPE project, lots of freedom and we all came up with something different. Here's my finished version:<br /><br />Coliseum Composite & Breakdown<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rhKFXiapK20&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rhKFXiapK20&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>nawledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10244262511475103276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141081847766723816.post-12093251202389199212008-02-26T09:12:00.000-08:002008-02-28T23:32:02.997-08:00Mobius StripHere's a model of a mobius strip I tossed up... The main goal was to get the reaction of the light moving through the material. I was going for a look similar to light passing through a prism. This was probably the first thing I did at school that I was really excited about.<br /><br /><a href="http://aycu28.webshots.com/image/45627/2003164113456109227_rs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://aycu28.webshots.com/image/45627/2003164113456109227_rs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>nawledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10244262511475103276noreply@blogger.com0
