Greetings.  I am an illustrator and designer located in Charlotte, NC, USA and have had the privilege of working with a number of great clients/people over the past couple of years.   I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to this site and share some my work past and present.

A beautiful collaboration between oxidizzy and Veckr project. I like using a minimalist color in each artwork. Basicly black and white, and perhaps a little extra color. I use some of my vector element in this illustration.

Last weeks module wednesday for the On Ramp program was at MODA3 in downtown Milwaukee. An awesome experience for everyone involved, learning what’s behind the scenes in a shop such as MODA3. We went through the history of the shop from the dudes that get together and formed to the brick and mortar that we were standing in. And we talked about the brands that were on the shelves and the process involved in choosing and carrying a brand. This was especially helpful for the kids of On Ramp, for 2 reasons. One, knowing that all brands start out just like they are. Two, that everything in the store has a designer/artist that conceptualized it or created it (this, i think, is the most vital bit of info for them to hear, as an artist/designer myself i didn’t really realize until i was in college that someone had a creative hand in all we see). Moda3 does carry local designers and are all about participating and sponsoring,cool events locally.

I was also able to do some shameless promoting for the On Ramp tee’s we have available, bringing them as samples for the kids to see as well as for Moda3 to view as well. The samples were printed and supplied by Kindred Clothiers, the founders of the Kindred Market.

This turned out to be a keynote module Wednesday for the On Ramp kids and we can’t thank Moda3 and it’s employees enough for their help. If you’re a retail/lifestyle shop or just an individual that is interested in participating in modules or volunteering for On Ramp, please contact us here or at – info@onrampmke.info .

thanks, everyone!

Todd dropped me a line that the KDU x RYZ collabo would be featured in selected Journeys shoe stores, and he wasnt kidding. Front and center as you walk in was the kdu collabo standing strong. At least in the santa monica store, me, anthony faucheux and mago were repped hard as you will see in particular. Trust and thx to the kdu.

Special thanks to Martin for covering our friends at Denham in Amsterdam and Marc Ecko’s latest ventures.
The KDU is featured in a six page spread covering the first leg of David Gensler’s world tour. First stops were China, where we met teams at Ogilvy and 361 Sports, before heading to Hong Kong to visit Edison Chen at Clot, Chris at IDN magazine and our good friend Brian at Knowledge. We then jumped to Japan for a few days of shopping and meetings. It was inspiring to talk to Frazier and crew at Nike Japan, before visiting Hiroshi Fujiwara, Hiroki and Matt from Visvim and the team at Swagger and Phenomenon. Stay tuned for the next issue of StreetWear Today for more coverage of the KDU world tour.

I rarely, actually, I never promote non KDU work, but this work is so strong and inspiring I will break my own rule.

FORGET ME NOT

Now in its 4th season, “Forget me not” is the accessories brand I launched in order to showcase and extend my work as an illustrator.

Digitally printed on ultra-fine silk, each design comprises hand drawn elements that are worked into compositions and subsequently applied to Art Mode standards on a range of scarves, turbans and cushions.

It consists in the usual range of XXL scarves along with a new series of head pieces made with fresh-water pearls in collaboration with Yasmin Rizvi. I am now also working with Amber Heptinstall for a series of small and extra-large cushions, all made out of a 100% silk.

The Spring/Summer collection, “Wonderland”, is available now around the world from selected fashion and luxury stores.

PARIS FASHION WEEK

The collection will be displayed in two showrooms : V. Demure and Premiere Classe (allée/aisle 3, stand 353).

To book an appointment for any of these events, or if you would like to be sent an image kit or the complete sales pdf for the new collection, please do not hesitate to contact me. You may also find more information on www.forget-me-not.me

Jointed Pieces is a work in progress. Normally, a ball joint is unable to be manufactured in one piece using previous techniques like injection-molded plastics or ceramics (it usually has to be made with separately molded pieces). ‘Jointed Pieces’ questions that problem, and finds that 3-D printing is the best way to manufacture complex forms.

Started in 2008 and finalising some pieces for the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in NYC in May 2009 and more for the Bits ‘N Pieces Exhibit at Material Connexion, in November 2009. byAMT Studio will be showing a well rounded collection in April 2010 at the Salone del Mobile in Milano. More information on this exhibit will be available soon on the Meet My Project website.
