Logo designs
Here are two logos I designed recently. The first was for the "Save the Theater" project, an effort to convert the local movie theater from a privately-owned business to a community-owned and -run venue.
The second is for a local business which offers healthcare administration consulting services.
Greeley County Library Card
Having moved to a small town in Western Kansas, my focus has shifted a little because my rental house doesn't have any space to set up an art studio (a problem which, hopefully, will soon be remedied). So instead I've been doing a little more with graphics and design, including attempting some vector portraits and logo designs for various groups or businesses in the community.
This is my most recent, a vector illustration of the library to be used on the new library cards:
I did this with a limited amount of time because they asked me shortly before my college reunion and the deadline was shortly afterwards, but I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out. Given more time, I would have fine-tuned the colors, added a little more brickwork details, and made the sky a little more interesting. As it is, though, it's going to be pretty small so maybe it doesn't matter yet.
depARTed show coming up!
For anyone who will be in the Hollywood area in the next month or so, I've got a piece that will be at the World of Wonder Storefront Gallery. My piece is the "Arrested Development" Etch-a-Sketch, made for this show's theme about things that expired prematurely.
The show opens on April 25th (opening party from 8pm -12am) and will run until May 19. The gallery is at 6650 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, CA 90028.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to be there in person, but go check it out and report back to me. I don't know a whole lot about the gallery besides what the curator Daniel Franzese told me.
Incidentally, he found my artwork through Gawker Artists, which runs artwork in the ad spaces on Gawker's various blogs (LifeHacker, Gizmodo, or Consumerist, among others). So if you're browsing any of their websites, you may occasionally come across one of my Etch-a-Sketches!
I know I haven't had much new art on my website recently; with the move to Kansas we've had a lot of settling in to do, and the house we're renting doesn't have a good spot for me to be messy. We're hoping to buy or build soon, and we'll be sure to have space dedicated to artwork, which will be nice. In the meantime, if you're interested in my art and have any questions, feel free to send me an email at jhliu(at)rainybayart.com.
Update: The regular gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 1pm to 7pm.
