This was a logo that was created to support the movement behind creating a skate park in Fortuna, California. A group of community members picked up the idea after the tragedy of two local girls were killed in an accident while skateboarding at dusk. Their names are placed on the tail of the skateboard. Additionally paying homage to these young ladies a female skater grabs her deck as she grinds her trucks on the word “Fortuna.” Force lines streak through the black letters creating motion. A redwood tree replaces the ascender of the letter “P.” An illustration of a landscape of mountains and trees with the sun shining above adorns her helmet.

A dock worker in a ship breaking yard in Chittagong, Bangladesh kneels as he takes a break from his dangerous job. A scarf wraps around his head and neck. A worn pair of sandals cloth his calloused feet. The worker picks at his nails in reflection. He listens to his friend who is next to him as they discuss the Americans that are touring the shipyard. His hair is grey from the trauma of his employment and life in the rugged environment of Chittagong.

Pop icon Drake wears a vintage gentlemen’s suit with a high neck collar and a wide chunky tie. A second portrait of his face appears large and looking another direction in the background similar to 1980’s school photo. A retro cassette tape playing boombox sits beneath him. Thick and twisted grey smoke pours out of the little tweeter to the sides of the radio dial. The color scheme is warm and desaturated.

Four Hands reaching framing in the face of a strong female character. The two hands connected to her neck reach away as the other two are held up in reverence on either side of the woman’s head. Red and green dots float to the left and right of her earrings. She looks away as if distracted by something. This piece was created on a black background. Gray tones were used in place of color and the overall piece has a very muted appearance with the exception of the four colored dots.
