I’m not promoting this coffee shop, not to mention i don’t really like their hot chocolate… Nevertheless, this coffee shop has some beautiful illustrations. I really like their brand, its a shame i don’t like their pastries nor beverages.
new site that looks interesting and can make you stay online forever!

Faith Ringgold, Freedom of Speech, 1990
From the Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History:
Since the 1960s, Ringgold, an ardent feminist and political activist, has used her art to address gender and racial problems in America and Europe, from a personal, sometimes autobiographical, human level. Her naive, folksy style makes these works visually approachable, while her frequent use of written texts within the works makes their often biting social commentary eminently clear. Periodically, Ringgold has employed the image of the American flag, a powerful symbol of freedom and democracy, to challenge current injustices.
In Freedom of Speech, the artist interprets the meaning of the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights as it applies to the civil rights ofall people. Across the red stripes of the flag are the words of the First Amendment (ratified in 1791) protecting freedom of speech, the right to religious practice, peaceable assembly, and lawful redress of grievances. In opposition to these noble ideals, however, Ringgold writes an array of names and words over the white stripes and stars that reference serious breaches of these freedoms. Painted in October 1990, Freedom of Speech was commissioned by the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia as a poster design for an exhibition commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Bill of Rights, which was celebrated in 1991.

So much to do and not enough time. I can only imagine when i find a job… oh jeez. In the meantime, I want to try out a few things such as: doing typography, watercoloring, layouts, more work in illustrator and photoshop and lets not forget to do some websites just so to freshen up on html and css… so much so much, but i am eager to work on all these projects. If i don’t get a job or some freelance work anytime soon ill know how to keep myself busy for at least another month :)
I’ve always admired Illustrator Stina Persson. Her beautiful watercolor sends me into a colorful trance. Her work is so beautifully crafted, and such technique should be praised. I’m definitely going to start watercoloring and perfecting my craft, which is no where near Ms. Stina, However i’m going to try to work in a medium I’ve always been in love with but never been successful in. Wish me luck <3 works in progress will be posted. Stay tuned.
