KDU 3.0

I was recently invited by John Mark Herskind to participate to the DACS exhibition.
Here’s my humble contribution – hope you’ll like it !
More details on my behance portfolio.
Patterns and prints done over the last 3 months to Brazilian fashion brands based in Rio de Janeiro.
Hello internet people!
After a great absence, here is the latest.
First, an artwork done as the cover to the first single of a Brazilian Hip-Hop band called Start.
A little while ago, Start approached me and the kids at Fuzuê (www.fuzuecomunicativo.com) to put some artwork together for their releases.
So, this is the first, and more are yet to come!

The online art shop Little Paper Planes has just recently updated the featured section I have on their site with two new items. They are the ‘United We Stand’ zine and the ‘Everyday People’ print, look out for a few more new things very soon…dont forget to stop by the One & Done Shop as well!

Q-Tip, Black Thought and Quest Love

The Keystone Design Union in conjunction with Alloy Access worked together to produce the 2010 Hennessy Artistry campaign. This year the Artistry Curators are Quest Love and Black Thought from The Legendary Roots Crew and Q-Tip. Keep your eyes focused on Hennessy for future updates on events, special performances and up to date information.
It was an honor to host the campaign photo-shoot at The KDU compound in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. As Derrick (D-Nice) Jones and Phil Knott photographed the talent, Aerosyn Lex and David Gensler Creative Directed and prepared the days home cooked BBQ.
Special thanks to everyone from all teams that made this amazing day possible.

Aston is a custom sans serif font which is applicable for any type of graphic design – web, logo, print, motion graphics, and more. FontFabric is responsible for this font. I made just the illustrations.
Wolfbite.
“Wolfbite is the slightly wonkey nail in the plasterboard wall on which to hang the collaborative illustrations we create.”
Web designer and illustrator Daniel J Diggle and fellow illustrator Jessica Allan created Wolfbite as a little home to their creative collaborations and as a place to display future collab’s with other artists too.

A Hoberman sphere as an icosidodecahedron
In geometry, an icosidodecahedron is a polyhedron with twenty triangular faces and twelve pentagonal faces. An icosidodecahedron has 30 identical vertices, with two triangles and two pentagons meeting at each, and 60 identical edges, each separating a triangle from a pentagon. As such it is one of the Archimedean solids and more particularly, a quasiregular polyhedron.
An icosidodecahedron has icosahedral symmetry, and its first stellation is the compound of a dodecahedron and its dual icosahedron, with the vertices of the icosahedron located at the midpoints of the edges of either. Convenient Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of an icosidodecahedron with unit edges are given by the cyclic permutations of (0,0,±τ), (±1/2, ±τ/2, ±(1+τ)/2), where τ is the golden ratio, (1+√5)/2. Its dual polyhedron is the rhombic triacontahedron. An icosidodecahedron can be split along several planes to form pentagonal rotundae, which belong among the Johnson solids.
In the standard nomenclature used for the Johnson solids, an icosidodecahedron would be called a pentagonal gyrobirotunda.

The area A and the volume V of the icosidodecahedron of edge length a are:
The icosidodecahedron is a rectified dodecahedron and also a rectified icosahedron, existing as the full-edge truncation between these regular solids.
The Icosidodecahedron contains 12 pentagons of the dodecahedron and 20 triangles of the icosahedron:

It is also related to the Johnson solid called a pentagonal orthobirotunda created by two pentagonal rotunda connected as mirror images.

Eight uniform star polyhedra share the same vertex arrangement. Of these, two also share the same edge arrangement: the small icosihemidodecahedron (having the triangular faces in common), and the small dodecahemidodecahedron (having the pentagonal faces in common). The vertex arrangement is also shared with the compounds of five octahedra and of five tetrahemihexahedra.

The concept for this video was to simulate a contrast between the rugged user made animated gif graphics across the internet, and dated yet unachievable beauty advertising imagery. Add persian and arabian myspace desktop graphic influences, and the rest is history. Here are some of the designs we created to influence our animations and direction throughout the video with Maya. A link to the video can be found on our site here.
