3 Little Words

Photo: from Le Love Blog



I think its fascinating how just 3 little words can change the entire tone of your day. My day was great but its even better when I hear "I Love You" at the end of it.

Miss me?!

My my, how I've neglected my lil' blog here..LOL. Sorry guys but its been pretty crazy here with me. I've been goin' really hard on the job hunt and working on some new portfolio pieces one project that I'm super happy with is my revamp of a former client's brand. Just something I wanted to do to add to my portfolio. It was really fun to do a branding project just for fun, the top is original brand identity and the bottom is my creation, Check it out:





Aside from working on graphic design projects I've also been looking for studios in the LA area and applying for design jobs like crazy..lol. I would really love to find something in the fashion advertising industry or maybe even some entertainment advertising so keep your fingers crossed for me!

My buddies

This past weekend I got a really nice surprise in the form of two my closest friends coming to visit me! I haven't seen these girls in months and it was so refreshing to spend time with them and laugh like old times. So as usual, I broke out my camera to test my new tripod and to play with my camera some more ;)

Inspiration

sorry its been so long that I've been by but I've been busy with the job search, portfolio updating, and my website that I've sort of been MIA for a while. I haven't been inspired in a while so I thought I would share some images that have inspired me alot. So much so that I'm currently working on sketches based on the images and some research I've been doing for a children's book project :D . I hope you guys enjoy. <3







Hello Hello!

lovey dovey

So I've been in this lovey dovey mood lately...don't ask where it came from because I really haven't got a clue..lol but anywho here's so vids that I'm feeling at the moment

...I couldn't see him but I could feel him surrounding me. Encapsulated in love. The closer I tried to get to him the further away he felt. So I sat a cloud and waited and waited. Eventually Raja came and sat beside me we laid down and watched the other clouds pass us by. Some of the clouds began to burn, saffron, jasmine, and honey suckle filled the air.. We sat up and looked for him again but he wasn't there, we didn't see him, I still could feel him and I was still encapsulated....His heart is bright and golden; His love is perfect and strong.

This is a short 2D/3D animation by Antoine Perez, Celine Desrumaux, François Pons and Gary Levesques. I loved the colors, shot compositions, and the story. Its about a pilot's last thoughts before his plane crashes. Check it out!

Amazing by Kanye West
Directed by the AAAAAAAMAZING Hype Williams, who by the way is the reason I fell in love with film especially those that use color to tell a story.

MY King

* please forgive me for not knowing who the photographer of this beautiful photo is



Untitled
African King of ebony skin, over the moon and through the stars and galaxies I would fly through to reach you. Your shoulders are broader than the Sahara itself with enough strength to carry the weight of your people. Brown and beautiful you are, with an intelligence that surpasses the infinite darkness or ignorance. You sustain me with your love in the same that the Nile sustains its people. When I long for you and thirst to feel your touch, I journey to your banks waiting for you to flood me with your love and gentleness. Baptized by your essence and bathing in you glory. He is my alpha and omega...with arms strong enough to encircle me and all my problems, and eyes deeper than mahogany, every time they catch mine i willingly fall and drown in them. He is the common denominator to all my equations and he mentally stimulates every cell in my being. i want to be your source supplying you with my life-force, come to me when darkness invades your space and allow me to illuminate your shadows with the radiance I receive from the Creator. Through him I am transformed from a mere woman into his beautiful child, your anointed wife. Chosen by him to be your queen in my own rite, by your side I stand rooted, unmoved, and un-phased by the storm. Your spirit has captured me and I am yours until the end of time.....

Randomness

we speak and say nothing at all, i keep my thoughts to myself
wishing i could just scream it out.

close my eyes and float away...jasmine, lavender, purple lace and your
face are all i see...

Breathe you In by Mia Carruthers

"I am undone, a little rough around the edges..."

"I can't see you, I can't breathe you in, no...
if I could I'd never leave again..."

Release Me

Hey guys so here's the teaser for "Release Me" it should be done by the end of the week, i'm still debating as to whether i want to render it in full color like "middle passage" or if I want to keep it in black and white with shades of grey and maybe some accent color like pink..anywho, at least working digitally allows me to try all of those possibilities so I'll keep you updated!

Blessings & infinite light :}
