Of Hamsters, and Blake Griffin?

· Comment

It’s not news to most that KIA has been pro­duc­ing awe­some car com­mer­cials for the past cou­ple of years now. They have been boost­ing up their mar­ket­ing dol­lars with cre­ativ­ity and humor; and they have the increase in sale num­bers to prove it. Whether the star of the show are char­ac­ters from Yo Gabba Gabba, ham­sters, or a bas­ket­ball star on the rise—Blake Griffin.

“ill-ocano” — An Adobe Illustrator Warmup

· Comment

I’ve been doing some exper­i­men­ta­tion with Adobe Edge this past week since it’s pre­view release on Mon­day. I fig­ure to have a break, and do some exer­cises with Adobe Illus­tra­tor. Hence, the above: “ill-ocano”.

The Ilo­cano or Ilokano peo­ple are the third largest Fil­ipino eth­no­lin­guis­tic group. Aside from being referred to as Ilo­canos, from “i”-from, and “looc”-bay, they also refer to them­selves as Sam­toy, from the Ilo­cano phrase “sao mi ditoy”, mean­ing ‘our lan­guage here.’ The word “Ilo­cano” came from the word “Iloco” or “Yloco.“1

Yes, it looks like the spelling is off, but the expla­na­tion of why it is so and the exer­cise is right after the jump.

TPWB@LA Shirts are Here!

· Comment

After nearly a year since it was doo­dled and set in Adobe Illus­tra­tor, I finally got the huevos to just do it and get them screen-printed. The first batch were done on Pur­ple tees. It felt the text had more pop on that as well.

Here’s a quick snap of the front:

The shirt is by AAA/Alstyle. Pretty stan­dard fit. What I like about is the sewing; the seams are well made…

Thanks to Sun­day Print Co. for the great end-product; so crisp and so clean. Def­i­nitely going back to those dudes for future stuff. They’re located in LA. I also would like to thank Tri­cia (Chicharon Adven­tures) for refer­ring them.

I only printed about 24 of these (first batch), so they’re lim­ited in sizes. If you are inter­ested in obtain­ing one and near SF or LA, let me know. (If you’re more than ways and will­ing to pay for ship­ping & han­dling, get at me ^^)

Thanks.

From my mind to yours… DO WORK!
