in thy light

April 29, 2012



spectre of what is to come. A premonition for the dawning of a new age. Let this offering stand as visual record of something much greater than the reality from which it's born. "The pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Parmenides taught that the only things that are real are things which never change... and the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that everything changes. If you superimpose their two views, you get this result: Nothing is real."

If nothing is real, then I am but a story being spoken into existence... these images the illumination to those words.

Better late than never ever... Here's a snap of a Artist Series Tee I created for NPR. I was fortunate enough to provide this BKLYN CALLIGRAPHIC design for the NPR show, STATE OF THE REUNION.

All proceeds from this Tee go to Charity. Specifically, the Urban Word NYC charity. Urban Word NYC's award-winning programs utilize the written and spoken word to develop critical thinking skills and leadership in youth from across NYC.

There's only a few left. Get Yours Here! And help a worthy Charity ^_^ : ROPEADOPE STORE

earnest endeavours

November 10, 2011


Earnest : serious in intention, purpose, or effort.
Endeavour : to exert oneself to do or effect something; strive.
 This is the birth of Something New : This is EARNEST ENDEAVOURS™

This has been over a year in the making... Beginning as an idea formulated by UK based friends, Terence Teh, Tom McCarthy, Alex Stevenson, Earnest Endeavours was just as its namesake suggests, an honest effort to create something new in a flailing and changing music industry.

I was honored when I was approached to partner in this endeavour and become the Visual Voice for the entire label. What has transpired over the course of the last yearis a solidifying of our collective interests and tastes. As true music aficionados with a penchant for the packaging and paraphernalia that for so long helped to define the music industry what we've endeavoured to do is to bring back the aspect of the "Artifact" to the music industry.

With our first release we proudly present BBRAVO. With a flair for the vocoder and a genuine "Cali-Vibe" it's hard not to want to drop-the-top on the whip and cruise into the sunset... Steady Mobbin'. Scroll down for a primer of what EARNEST ENDEAVOURS is all about !




◥ For more information on the label please visit : EARNESTENDEAVOURS.com
◥ Visit our SOUNDCLOUD to preview the BBRAVO EP : EE SOUNDCLOUD
◥ Please Support and Purchase the digital release on ITUNES : BBRAVO EP on ITUNES

The VINYL you see above is now available for purchase in Finer Record Shops and Boutiques around the world.




Keep watch as we're prepping for a massive 2012. Stay tuned for much much more.

los logos book

August 16, 2011

I almost forgot to mention...
My work featured and followed up with an interview in LOS LOGOS.
The Venerable Compendium of all things LOGO and IDENTITY by DIE GESTALTEN Publications.







I think I've racked up over 20 LOGOS in this edition of the book. I spend a lot of my time working with Branding and developing Identities. The symbology of Logomark design is something which has always spoken to me.

Here is but a glimpse of some of my contributions to the great dialogue that is the WORLD OF LOGOS. Enjoy.
( btw, lost of the logos pictured are mine, but not all... I'm sure you can guess which are which :)

a sign of things

July 31, 2011

A new collection of works is on the way.
Through hate and heartbreak, truth prevails.
I come from the house of ALMS; my house will not be shaken by those who speak in false tongues. I Remain, Steadfast.


There is faith in these colors, there is honesty in these brush strokes...
This is the truth that is spoken into being when an artist brings life to his vision.

I create these works with the humility and sincerity of a sinner brought before those whom which he has trespassed against.

I give these works not so that I may receive something in return for myself, rather I give these works so that I may exist. Enjoy.

PLAYBOY x AEROSYN-LEX x OVERTHROW
A Collaboration with Photographer JARED RYDER.
This is Miami at it's Finest... Literally - All Praises Due †



layboy Magazine & Photographer Jared Ryder invited me to collaborate on a new kind of Playboy Feature. I had the pleasure of working with the amazing photos taken by Jared of our friend, the lovely Tamara Sky. She's a star DJ in her own right and reps Miami's own OVERTHROW camp run by my good friends Sam Baum, Alexis Mincolla and Caleb Gauge. I created a new kind of Sacred-Deco-Geometry which references The Overthrow's, and my own shared fascination with all things occult, as well as the rich Art Deco tradition of Miami's architecture. All of that mixed with some classic 80's Miami Vice flair and the super sultry Ms. Tamara and you get the feature below... Thanks to everyone who made this feature possible and thanks to the team at PLAYBOY™ for having me involved. †††

lex libris

February 18, 2011

The Latin term † EX LIBRIS means "From The Books."
This series of works is born of that; Born of the Written Word and the Printed Page.

y Body Bleeds Black Ink. Yo Sangro Tinta Negra. This is a return to form, a return from whence I came. I'd like to welcome you back old friend; it's been much too long and I've sincerely missed this exchange. This year marks the 5th year since the inception of my online voice. 5 years is an eternity by memetic standards, and the fact that this continuum of mine continues to stream content into the ether is commendable by any measure. Forgive me as I needed to step away to undergo a metamorphosis of sorts. During my absence I've prepared many heartfelt offerings for you. I sincerely hope you'll have a look and bask in the splendor.








he written word has always been near and dear to my heart... Yet, when I say "The Written Word" I refer not only the poetic flow of prose, but also the actual rhythm and color of the printed page. Derrida's interpolation of the printed word and the "Signals and Signifiers" which give life to letters on a page provides the basis for Deconstructionism. Reading into text, or rather reading between the texts has unveiled a great deal about the human experience. Reading the actual shapes and negative spaces of the letters which comprise the words, which comprise the sentences, which create the narratives unveils something wholly different. There is an underlying visual language which exists inseparable from the written word.

As it stands, some say that images work via a second communicative system, one fully as expressive as natural language, but separate and structured independently of it. Others find visual and verbal meanings more dissimilar than similar, with the visual lacking a kind of determinacy for which verbal language seems better suited. Whether or not images are inherently more polysemous than words, it's apparent that both are semiotic systems of near infinite depth which allow us the ability to communicate the most profound concepts and emotions imaginable.

Of importance to me is the conscious interaction of these two semiotic systems. What happens when the explicative and illustrative are overlaid in synergistic glory? What meaning is then read into a text merged with image... Does it become more image than text? If a Written Language collides with a Visual Language is not a new language formed? I hope these works may at least allude to a new language, a new and honest voice - a new voice for me.
