Theater Portfolio IV

This time working with simple staging- the Theater company is minimal, leaving much stage space for the dancing and acting of the performers. Keeping that in mind, had to think up of simple sets that utilized color and ethnic symbols in order to convey the said culture atmospherically.
Fun with colooorrrrr. Yum!

Theater Portfolio III

The third installment to my portfolio.
Like the Aztec outfit, the natural designs for the traditional garb of the North West Pacific Aboriginals accommodated the dancer very well- leaving him the flexibility and moving capacity that they needed to perform. With these, it was a matter of utilizing that, and then tailoring the outfits to be more contemporary.

Theater Portfolio II

The second concept for my Theater Design Portfolio.
This time, focusing on Aztec, and a semi-full outfit to relate the most prominent figure in Aztec culture- the Jaguar.
I've submitted this to the company already. Now it's the waiting game.
Pray people, PRAY!

Theater Portfolio I

I'm applying for a position in Theater Design and Costume Making. The actual company is Aboriginal based, and deals with world wide aboriginal stories- so my goal is to show them my capacity to design for various ethnic cultures, while keeping contemporary theater in mind.
Today's spread deals with the Ainu- The Native Aboriginals of Japan. Seen her, a "Kamuy" wildly known in the culture a "Supernatural Bear". This one is more puppetry meets costume. Left side concepts, right side the quick illustration how it would look on stage.

The Matador

Part of my annual personal projects is making a calendar for the upcoming year.
This year, I decided to go the way of zodiac symbols, coupled with characters from a popular anime series "Hetalia" (the character's personalities would determine which month they would represent).
This was one of my favorites- the Matador [Spain] as "Sagittarius".
Fun fun fun!

Layout II

Just another layout. I've been on a layout binge lately, eh?
This time, it's based/inspired by an Austrian Castle Interior.
Gotta love the flamboyant European decor.

Pretty Smart for a Hyena

The other day, me and and friend of mine were bringing up bad animal stereotypes believed to be true way back in the day.
I WANTED to say that "Hyena's were thought to be Hermaphrodites"... but somewhere along the trail of thought, "Hermaphrodite" became "Androgynous" became "Ambidextrous".
And so I said: "People used to think Hyenas were ambidextrous!"
Pretty smart for fellas who don't even have any thumbs.
