I was going through my archives and found a throw back picture of me back in 2008 shot by photographer Conor Wooten.
Time is a ridiculous thing. 2008 was when Wild Man Design Tribe was born. I look at my self in the picture and wonder what the hell was I doing. I seriously can’t understand what was going through my head those days…
To proove diversity, we conducted an experiment as SID was kicking it at my place.
8/11 dooo have iphones
1/11 have other touch phone
1/11 have a phone that transforms
1/11 is really left out
Check out our homie 102. When we started bombing, we came across some punk that forced upon us a collaboration just like the photo. It’s funny how things work out. These days he’s kicking it with the Tribe.
WMDT & 102 @ Madrid
This is a sticker collab I did with my friends from Wild Mad Design Tribe over Christmas break while I was back in Madrid. The WMDT sticker is over Madrid’s emblem of the bear and madroño + 102 sticker.

On February 15th, Adam Jasen of WMDT featured works in Columbia College’s exhibition “Art of Play 5.” Contact Adam Jansen if interested in purchasing prints
“Now in it’s 5th year, the purpose of Art of Play is to explore the idea of games, fun, and play. While video games will be the prominent them, Art of Play 5 will also exhibit works that explore more traditional games and toys.” (column.edu)
On February 11th, my “HEADGEAR” series was featured at a showcase held by the Chicago Asian American Institute. The exhibition shared works from various Chicago Asian Americans. CHEEEEEEEE!!!
Much love and thanks to the Tribe’s homie, Kiyomi Negi-Tran and Katherine Rivera for the opportunity.
If you haven’t seen my paintings in person, they will be up the month of February at Heartland Cafe located in Roger’s Park.
PART 2 : BEAUTY BAR VIDEO!!!!
We know you probably wouldn’t have read what I wrote If I posted a video first. Well, even if you didn’t, here’s a video put together by Loosey Goosey Zine themselves.
We’re visual people - why read a recap when you can watch it.
On February 2nd Loosey Goosey and The Infusion Project collaborated to set up an art show at the Beauty Bar in Wicker Park, Chicago. The night was a complete success, with artists selling their work and the floor dancing all night long. Loosey Goosey presented volume II’s featured artist Kathleen Boudwin and showcased a sneak peek at the upcoming issue. If you didn’t make it, don’t worry, there will be plenty more to come! In the mean time we have some photos by Sergio Silva and a video put together by Chris Cook and Joseph Crawford.

Here’s a breakdown of my “HEADGEAR” series, inspired from my bike accident back in September. I’ve said many times that these are my first paintings. It’s a half lie, but I consider this more of painting that my previous attempts.
I documented the breakdown so I can learn more about what I did. This was the first time I had a plan of attack, knew what I was doing, followed through, and completed it accordingly (minus inconsistencies).
I’ve been sketching quite a bit on my most recent project with Bearbook. Many members of Wild Man Design Tribe will be contributing works and interpretation of the “Teeth” the theme of this first publication.

“Bearbook is presented by Jillian Barthold with Ashley Rose Reinsmith and Kady Dennell.

This could include but is not limited to photographers, painters, graphic designers, printmakers, culinary artists, papercutters, fashion designers, writers, etc. The first theme is “teeth” and the book will include 40-50 submissions that all somehow include the artist’s interpretation/incorporation of teeth.”

On February 2nd, Jesse Lankford of Loosey Goosey Zine collaborated with California-based The Infusion Project to host a series of showcases throughout out Chicago.

I used to sign signatures with my left hand, but these days it won’t cut it anymore. Since I’ve switched hands, I need to switch my signature to match my natural movement. Not yet there but here’s the drafting…
(is it dangerous to post your signature up?)
It was recently my little nephew’s birthday the day before Valentines Day. He just turned 6. I have some serious pride and love for this kid. He told me one day he wanted to become an artist like me.
For those who feel the way I do on this particular holiday. Keep in mind it’s merely a commercial day. I’m also not anti-valentines day.
