N’dambi CD Sampler

sites — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 07:22:02 +0000

This is just a little image I pieced together for N’dambi’s CD Sampler which was handed out to internal Warner Bros. Music employees when she did her showcase. N’dambi is an up and coming artist in the neo soul scene but she can be a bit rockish at her concert… i like her style, sound, and appeal it’s very unique.

MVillalobos Business Card

Here is a cool little business card I designed for a client. For this card I lent one of the photos I had taken while travelling to Naxos, Greece. M Villalobos needed a way to illustrate “opportunity” so we decided this image was perfect.

Tita Yollie: August 31, 1948 - September 7, 2006

This was a design I pieced together for my Aunt Tita Yollie who passed away. I really love the photo as it tells a story.

I thought it would be nice to include it on the site as a way of showing the world another person who has inspired and contributed to my life in many ways. She passed away at 58 due to heart failure, however she was told at an early age she would only live to 40! The way she lived her life was amazing, it was almost like she knew she had a short time to spread love all over. She had a great spirit and didn’t take things too serious, always smiling and having a good time. We used to crack jokes together, she was really cool. Her loving effect contagiously spread throughout everyone she interracted with by how she would put everyone else first before herself. I hope to continue this energy and way of living in all that I do.

We will miss and remember her, indefinitely.

I Love You

Unwrapped Vol. 3

sites — Fri, 14 Oct 2005 06:28:11 +0000

Unwrapped Vol. 3 is one of Hidden Beach Recordings projects where they “unwrap” rap music and instead infuse jazz elements in its place. Some people I know really never felt the project but I’d say more people appreciated it. I know I’ve heard the albums being playing in many locations like The Cheescake Factory, cofee shops, a few really nice hotel lobbies, and especially in nice restrooms while on the toilet.

The Unwrapped series was the pioneer for its kind and everyone tried to replicate it after the sucess of the first two albums. I thought it was good but not “im gonna sing it in the the shower” good. It makes great background music for parties as most smooth jazz and instrumental albums do.

The Unwrapped website was

Print ADs that were put together for Unwrapped Vol. 3. Album packaging was designed by another artist, I just pieced the packaging together and made several print items.
