Gilded Eeveelutions Series

All of the Gilded Eeveelutions in a single post! I’m really happy with how all of them turned out, as this was originally an experiment with different pens and inks that just hit the ground running and exploded (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I’m also pleased to announce that prints for all of the Gilded Eeveelutions are now available for pre-order on my Etsy! I have 5x7 prints for $8 USD each and 8x10 prints for $15 USD each, which are available in a Matte “fine art” finish, and a Metallic finish which looks amazing in the light

I’m also offering a one-time discount code to celebrate the opening of my shop on Etsy! Use the code GOLDEEVEE to receive 15% off your entire order when you spend $15 or more! The pre-orders and discount code are running until June 7th, 2016 only, so if you want your own copy of any of them at a discounted price now’s your chance c:

OH! I almost forgot! I’m ALSO selling the originals of the Gilded Eeveelutions for $35 USD each, if you prefer owning originals over prints!

I’d also like to thank everyone who has followed my blog or sent me kind comments about my art over the past few weeks ♡(.◜ω◝.)♡ The past 8 months have been physically and emotionally taxing due to life things and left me with hardly any time to draw… but I’m super excited to be drawing more now that I’m a little more free c:

Here’s the link to my Etsy shop if you happened to miss it above! Thank you all for your support (´,,•ω•,,)♡

Happy birthday, Harry Potter! To celebrate Harry’s birthday (and my undying love for the series), I made my own covers! I created patterns (Thanks for the inspiration Scandinavia!) using a significant object from each book. I used those in the movies as reference and digitally painted them. You can view the whole project here! :)

(It’s already July 31 here in the Philippines. Haha.)

Places to Watch the World Cup by Jon Rogers

[geekdesigner]

Oops, sorry guys, I inadvertently took an impromptu hiatus from geekdesigner! I'll be back with new content starting later this week, and will even be posting some of my own work!

If you're curious what I've been up to while I've been gone...

We also won 2 technical awards, celebrating our seamless integration of programming with the functional design of our machine, AND finished 16th/100 in our division at worlds.

It was AWESOME, and thusly, also very time consuming!

Drafting Peekaboo! I’m working on a fun little identity project at the moment for a children’s playhouse - these are some of my rough drafts! :)

Numbers in the City

These are just fantastic. Huge aluminium numerals, brightly painted, and each on its own plinth, all on display in the centre of London.

Numbers 1-0 is a piece by Robert Indiana, originally created in the early ’80s. This version is on display as part of Sculpture in the City 2013 where 10 installations are on view around the City of London (you know, the city within London), including Indiana’s more well-known piece, LOVE.

I took these pictures this morning on Lime street, a side road between the famous Lloyds building and other modern, steels and glass structures. Each number is really vibrant setting the usually grey street alight with colour.

Antonio Rodrigues Jr | typography [one]

"I was born in Brazil and graduated in Fine Arts. I have a body of work using traditional techniques, such as painting and printing.

I have been doing graphic work for as long as I can remember, but it was only a couple of years ago that I though of doing it professionally. Self-teaching, mostly learning the hard way, and loving every minute of it.

I like to work with varied styles and techniques, and I always try and do my next work differently from the previous ones, as for me consistency cannot be equated with repetition.

My work is mostly influenced by Fine Arts, but music is a greater source of inspiration.

In addition to those, my sphere of interests includes movies, photography, advertising, computing and also anthropology, architecture, history, literature, psychology and sociology. Thank you for reading. Have a nice day!” — Antonio Rodrigues Jr

Chicago World’s Fair Posters

I needed to post this because someone got me thinking about the Chicago World’s Fair by recommending me a book that takes place in this historical architectural event: The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson.
