Los Matadores de San Diego

I'm very proud to have been in the audience supporting my friends/hometown heros Rey-S [uncomfortably fresh], Roxit [uncomfortably fresh], and Eranetik [calamities/killafornia]​.  Here are their battles for anybody interested in seeing them:

Worldwide Pinhole Camera Day

The pinhole camera I designed works!   It resulted in a few panoramic images.   I didn't take into account the "exposure" time, so for some of the shots I either over exposed or underexposed the film.  whoops.  I developed these myself, which I'm also proud of.  Unfortunately, my film scanner wasn't detecting my film positives with the sprocket holes....so instead I made a contact sheet with my iPad as a light table.  It looks like to get shots correctly I need a strong light source [the sun or electric lighting] and about 20 seconds to expose the film.

A Flock of Aztecs

its been a while since i last designed something to be worn.  i think i will do it more often.  this design made for the SDSU bboy squad was based on the Dead Break Society sugar skull...we got alot of compliments on it the day that we rocked them.  its nice seeing my design on other people....
