Project Sweatshop (Original Recipe)
Music festival company Project Sweatshop wanted a business card design that projected enough value on presentation alone. A copper-plated, irregular shaped card with 1998 icon updated to 2010 standards would not be out of the question. So that is what we agreed on, and that is what I delivered. Luckily the concept was already there and just needed to sing!

This new 3D model goes beyond the scope of juicing up the business card alone, it is fully able to be animated. Just picture this: the record could spin and the needle could shift up and down the way a sewing maching would do. Now this work has limitless possibilities for use on video screens, promotions, powerpoint presentations and more.
I love this old jungle rave flyer I designed in illustrator for NonStop events. Came across it and appreciated the funk, so thought I’d share. It took me about 5 hours to design this.
I miss those old Rewind Massives...
Project One: A county-wide search for musically talented youth, ages 14-18. Attending Project: One’s free songwriters’ workshops and trainings will give youth a chance to write and perform songs that could lead to a professional recording opportunity and inspire positive change in our community…& the world. Music can unify people, cultures and society. Now more than ever, we need music that champions racial equality, social justice and ending hatred.
I was proud to work on this project as much as any that promotes positive change, especially in the lives of young people. This poster was designed as a poster, meaning that you can see this from a distance and still know what it is about – without ever reading a thing. All Illustrator design time 10 hours.
I was a semi-finalist at Cut&Paste Saturday November 11th, 2006 in Los Angeles. I beat out roughly 60 of Los Angeles’s top designers and was ended up in the final four. One of my challenges was to design something for the theme “Time Travel”. So of course I had to get a wrench and destroy a powerbook…
Now was it painful to smash up my powerbook? Yep, but it was an amazing feeling nonetheless. I felt like I had crossed the line, but by doing so created actual art. I hated the idea, but the more I thought about it, I would know it had to happen. At that moment nothing mattered more than a simple idea. Pointing out how much people (including myself) sometimes value physical possessions more than appreciating the a simple rule of life… you can’t take time back. Is it a sad day for powerbooks, or a profound statement perhaps? I’ll let you be the judge.

Cut & Paste as a really cool new format and I recommend them to any designer that has an urge to flex the skills live.
…it was 78 degrees in Los Angeles and I thought to myself “people need to see what I’m working on more, but how?” Welcome to my personal site, blog, time capsule and waste basket. I plan to sharing artwork, music, lessons and other goodies that I’m working on or have made in hopes to inspire. ~Le Vector Wrecker.
