Published on Urban Dictionary: Beerrand

Woo-hoo! Doing the dance of joy!

Okay, so it was thru Urban Dictionary that I got published, but nonetheless, it’s hilarious!

Word: Beerrand
Definition: Going to the store to buy more beer.
Used in a sentence: Honey, we’re out of Heineken! Can you go on a beerrand for us?

It was a funny and happy accident that this word came about, but I’ll have to thank SuzeMuse for the inspiration.

Logo/ID: SCPA Auction

SCPA: Treble Clef Auction Logo

Second Chance wanted an emblem to represent a jazz theme. Their initial idea was to include several elements of what jazz meant to them: saxaphones, piano, musical notes, mardi gras etc. While it’s a challenge to get clients to understand the difference between an illustration and a logo, the idea of music needed to be strongly conveyed. Fortunately, to have a client like Second Chance who understands that bringing a myriad of ideas to the illustrator/designer and allowing the designer to rearrange and edit, strengthens dialog and trust.

My solution was to embrace both cat and dog into the shape of a treble clef. The colors currently represent the Mardi Gras but the elegant lines of the treble clef provides longevity, allowing Second Chance to implement the logo in all manners of music. In the future, SC can change their music theme from caribbean jazz, latin jazz, the blues, ragtime, big band, even classical.

About the Kanji Stamp
The Japanese Kanji stamp represents the name “Lisa.” Years ago, my good friend Sayuri designed this Kanji character for me because of my curiosity of Japanese identity. Wanting to use this Kanji character in a creative way, it made sense to apply it upon creating the CalligraphyCats. Now, I make sure that every art piece created by me has the character attached somewhere.

P.S. No two Kanjis are the same; I think of it like DNA. If you’re name is Lisa, be sure to consult with someone from the Japanese culture to ensure the best suitable Kanji for you. I guarantee that your Kanji will be different and just as beautiful.

Classic Fine Art: Fetcher & the Slippers

Inspired by my recent giveaway at Boylan Heights Art Walk, I decided to create a modified Fetcher. Fetcher now comes with slippers. Watch the video of the whys and how it came to be.

PS. This endeavor proved to agonizing as I learn the ins and out of iMovie vs QuickTimePro. It was also frustrating because the neighborhood bandwidth was painfully slow; the upload took more than 4 hours!! When I find out I’ve uploaded the wrong video… Oy! I have published this video on YouTube, however, because Chardonnay assists in his fashionable way, the inset didn’t show. Until I can figure out how to successfully do this, I’ll continue to play with blip.tv.
