R.I.P. Michael Jackson
Posted by RONIN/SS | Filed under Music, Talk

My favorite artist of all time, the King of Pop, the biggest musical influence of the last few generations, has passed away. He leaves behind an unfathomable legacy and will forever be close to our hearts. Rest in peace Michael and greatest sympathy’s and condolences to the Jackson family.

Spec Nike Air Yeezy Commercial
Posted by RONIN/SS | Filed under Ads, Film & Video
A buddy of mine, Director Samtubia Edwards, did this spec commercial for his reel and I think it’s fantastic. Got a Neil Blomkamp vibe to it (including an actual spaceship from one of Blomkamp’s films). Dope concept! Only think I would change is the choice of music I think. Would prefer “Amazing”.

“FUQ POP” Movie Posters
Posted by RONIN/SS | Filed under Graphic Design, Talk
Felt like sharing a new concept I’ve been thinking about. Lately, I’ve been reflecting heavily on pop culture, the media, and sexuality. I wanted to try and express that in the form of some fake movie posters for a film I call “Fuq Pop”. It’s a 5 -part set with the last image in the series being the full poster. Enjoy!



Here are some detail shots:


I really wanted to nail that vintage, 60s & 70s Print texture while keeping the colors to my tastes. All illustrations were done in Illustrator and then taken into Photoshop for compositing.
