A Day In A Life (2011)


Los Angeles is a huge city; about 3,792,621 people live in this city. I feel everyone who lives here has moved here searching for the California dream and I feel each person has a story to tell of why there here in Los Angeles. A Day In the Life is about a designer from Florida, who I thought was interesting after hearing his story. He moved to Los Angeles four years ago, his ambition and drive made him want to follow his dream and move here.

Things In the Sky (2011)





























Final









Fold 1














Fold 2














Open



















The Silkscreen




Ever since humanity we as people of Earth have been looking at the sky, some for answer, or its majestic beauty, or even for its randomness. I feel we sometimes overlook its beauty because of the distraction of modern advances. As humans we all see things in the sky, eventually you will look up at the sky and depending on you're surrounding you will see different things in the sky.
