Pie

Sum of my artworks are on the wall of "Pie" Located on 124 4th Ave(between 12th & 13th) NY, they serve these skateboard sized pizzas n sweet dollar deal beer there.
Also works from Darkin Brown and Patrick Francisco in the Pie

Mixing

Trying some new looks, I def do think having certain signature style is important to an artist tho a change is quiet refreshin n fun

Whatz New?

Haven't been doing my blogging consistently
But I'm still storming up new things.

Whew!

Our grand finale
We manged to pull off a great show, got bit teary back stage
seeing everybody's months of sleepless nights of hard work delivered on stage along with the team work
Thanks for my "Villetta family" for coming

Documented Doodles

Traveled to quite alot of places this past year
Documented the events by doodles and scribbles but unfortunately not all (places and events)
Started Euro-Trip Journal when I was in Paris for the 2nd time, brought the tiniest sketchbook I could get my man hands on and started off from there
then kept up with a Muji sketchbook after my non-stop Euro trip in Feb, it has transparent paper and envelopes embedded in btw sections (was really convenient but a bit bulky)

Live Art, Breath Art, Eat Art, Shit Art- Villetta Exhibition

I had the pleasure to live with 28 talented kids from all over the world in Milan
some studied Fashion Design, Product Design, Architecture, Engineering, Costume Design, Industrial Design and Art
So of course we were each others muse and the house was our canvas , Lots of collabrations
Just too bad we had this grouchy lazy ass maid (job description: smoke in the kitchen, eat our food, yell at how dirty and gross we were and tear down our art, installations
(I was the main target, but my Italian was shitty so what ever she said, didn't hurt much)
Alot of the works were not saved and unphotographed
I'm not gonna post much, since alot of it is a mix of other ppls work and some are a tad bit "too much"








Made this for Gabri's B-day, and had everybody color-in his crown

Addiction

This is a collection that was inspired by "Addiction"
in many forms
Used my housemates for this project (had 28 to pick out of)

2 Heads are Better Than 1

This was a collection, that I really went over the top with
It's not really very marketable but def one of the funnest time working on

Urban Climbing

Urban Climbing

Me and my good friend Jose had a collaboration with Italians Patrista and Federica
We designed a product for Urban Climbing, it's an urban sport where they usually climb outside of buildings skyscrapers, bridges and other artificial structures
Often taken place at night since it's an illegal sport in many places
The Italians worked on the presentation and I worked on the designs, figure drawings, pattern and sewing the proto type
Designed a garment that could be worn either inside out or vice versa, it's half way doubled laired on the upper part which can be torn off to hang since it's attached half way of the shirt
Great Team Work!

I have my reasons...

It's been an incredible past year living abroad and traveling around Europe.
I didn't quite manage to keep up with blogging, but as they say a pic is worth a 1000 words
I think these works I did can manage to explain why

DIY Lamp

Went to Ikea...to buy a table and light bulbs (my room is as dark as a cave)
made my own lamp with an empty bottle of Vodka and screwed on the lights
Wha-La!!! Priceless

Candies

Jason did another Drink and Draw get together again
Mika had a ton of awesome wigs....which really spiced things up
Everybody who wore one looked like their names were Candy

Tiger Toe

The Very Last project that I drew (about a couple months ago...should get back on my fingers soon")
Had to create a activewear brand
coz I don't have an awesome name
Came up with "Tiger Toe"....

Knitting Picasso

Design Sketches for a semester ago, mostly did knits that whole 4 months
named the project "Knitting Picasso".....inspiration of course Pablo Picasso

Swimwear Project

Drew a ton of Swimwear....which was hard to design
since it just covers a small portion of the body, don't have much to work with
did an inspiration of the bond girls Strong, Smart, High tech and bomb shell sexy like

Last in NYC

going to be heading to Milan for a year very soon
So far I've been happy the way I choose to live my life, guess I'm a really lucky person...
met sooo many great ppl, experienced so many different things and learned a ton
I hope it'll be just as a positive experience in Milan

Tee Designs done for Indie Industries..... (and Modeled)

Always had a clash when Indie Industries has a sample party these couple of months (but I'm gonna be there @ least once before I leave NY)
Thanks for the ppl who liked my Tee's

Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Some really good new stuff in the Jonathan LeVine Gallery
At The Edge of Town exhibition of new mixed media handcrafts painted wood sculptures by AJ Fosik.
Equilibrium, Brazilian native Vitche’s first solo exhibition in New York.
The show features sculptures, paintings and an installation.
Trouble, Pass Me By, by Andy Kehoe
provokes ambiguity in his paintings and explores an interaction between figures and their natural surroundings,
as well as the contrast between natural beauty and human ugliness.
after all that goodness I headed to another gallery showing Andy Warhol

Boxin

This was the latest Art work I did (around mid April)
for my Fashion portfolio class
Ummm I like drawing cartoony stuff all the time but every time when it comes down to my Fashion stuff
I just couldn't help but draw the same ass fashion style
but this time was different coz I picked two weird sports Thai boxing and Break dancing for my portfolio
and how am I gonna draw something like that without having fun??
I'll post the final look when I get my files

Knit wear Project "Picasso Knitting"
We had to use a certain artist as inspiration for the color palette
I picked Picasso (kinda cheesy) cause I also wanted used his geometric shapes into the design developement {came up with 40 something designs but in the end the teacher didn't pick much of the geometric shaped ones......}

Photographs of John Galliano "Everybody is beautiful" Image Book
Inspiration pics and a stylized doll
I got the mag from a Japanese book store {Mad expensive...20~ something dollars}
"High Fashion" Feb 2006 issue 307 <-{just in case anyone wants to hunt it down}
Y'all know that Japenese mags {Fashion types} are pretty simple and clean cut, normally I wouldn't sacrifice my wallet for that
But these pages were just too Awesome to past out on
God! I want the real thing....not cause it's brand or some shitty sallow reason like that
it's cause I love scrap books, art journals and mini booklets made a bunch myself too, just wish I had time to do more

3 to 10

Works from Model drawing class {last semester}
each pose were for 3~10 minutes
the teacher didn't like how I made some of them look like they had a bad day
but I personaly liked it better
drawing weird is funner

30 seconds

We woke our asses up to do this at 9:00 in the morning.....
the teacher had a test for us
to draw 10 different periods clothing style within 30 seconds
And this is my 30 second creation
ps...Sorry the images are really off, but the teacher was taking away the "test" so I did a sloppy job of photographing it
