Make Art, Not War

The way shits been going, California doesn’t sound too bad at all right now.


Within less than one year…

I’ve lost my privileges, my car, my license, my gf, my love, my best friend, my home, my parents, my money, my heart, my cousin’s respect, my faith, and some of my mind.

but I never gave up. And in the end, what I have gained is:

MORE STRENGTH, more faith, my growth, more responsibility, a better relationship and understanding with my cousin, more independence, a new home, new friends, long lost family, more heart, a new job w/ better pay, my privileges, my license, more love/appreciation for my parents, more confidence, the will to succeed, a better body, a better conscience, and the knowledge to know that life goes on.

So fuck thank you to those who contributed to my pain strength.

edit* for Louie. One of my best friends*. lol

Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself, you have to know that you’re
a good person and a good friend. What is meant to be will end up good and
what is not won’t. Relationships are worth fighting for but sometimes you can’t be the only one fighting at times, people need to fight for you if they don’t, you must move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you. Hopefully people realize great things when they come around and don’t lose something real, always fight - until you can’t anymore.” - Anon



Today at work, I get the privilege to rebrand and re do the FCDC logo. Every Filipino and Filipino event in town is going to see this logo for now on lol.. damn pressure… the old one at least sucked but I want to make it sick. I’m no where near done but this is the first phase.

The old logo is the one on the left.

I love cool shit like this, just an example of some fun things anyone can do with a little time and effort put in. I highly recommend Vector Tuts, great site to help those learning and or just curious =)

I imported my vector into Photoshop for a little more fun. I made an emblem I plan on using or just printing stickers out tomorrow just for fun =)

The technique is called Guilloche pattern making…




I like to paint and draw on my walls at home. This was back in HS. Thinking of a new project soon to keep up to date.. (Taken with instagram)



Client Horror Story

You’ll like this story. I just wanted to prove that even though “clients are always right” doesn’t necessarily mean that they have good taste. So here is my point.

1. Take note of the original shitty circle and paper cut out given. All the objects HAD to be there. Yes, the pink flowers, yes the tacky objects, and yes, all the lovey dovey peace and love maaaaaaan…

2. I made a medallion design which they all absolutely loved and kept.

3. He wanted more, so I made another version which he also wanted alot more. He wanted the starburst. 

4. More color and more changes.

5. More clutter and from the new edits, he wants to add rainbows and more information lol. Pretty soon it’s going to look like a warzone and I don’t know how to fix it. 

6. The client is still always right.

__________________________________________________________

Which brings me to my last and final point…

I think it went from BEST, to BETTER, TO EHH, SALVAGEABLE, TO BAD, and now it’s gonna be WORSE…I’d hate to see what the changes are at the worst ! LOL. Am I right?




I figured If I could help others out for free, I can help myself out too!

So I made myself some fun 2sided Christmas cards for my friends and family.

The back says, “Happy Holidays! Thanks for being someone special in my life =)”

“From Kris, (I design for you, you pay me in food )”

_____________________________________________________

Since I really like what I did for my boss, I made my little dood to look a little more like me, and I added a pencil and fork on my hands because of the two things I LOVE to do. Eat and draw lol. Enjoy




Have to make a card for my boss, in hopes of getting a Holiday bonus =)

Everyone wanted me to do it… we all came up with the idea of Superboss lol, and here is a partially finished version. Well the main illustration part anyways…
