Spice! Spice! Spice! Spice!...

Spice Carnival Band... Who would have ever thought that I would be into carnival this much!?!? It's kinda weird that 'ah like eet' too.

It's been one year since I started to working with spice, and one of the first jobs (excluding the Corperate Identity Design and stationary system) was an invitation & e-invitation done for their first media launch. The reviews were great. The actual invite was mentioned in an earlier blog. Here is a look at the e-vite.

The next big project was to do their 2009 Carnival Catalog titled the Spice Carnival Cookbook. That years presentation was titled "The Missing Ingredient..."

For 2010 the presentation is titled "The Spice Route" and the catalog titled the Spice Carnival Atlas.

If you are REALLY into the carnival thing check out Trinidad Carnival Diary and Afro Chic. They both have had something nice to say about spice. :)

Plenty to talk about

Weyyyyyy!!!
The last month was real therapy. Plenty work, REAL erotic pleasure, No KY, a spicy month with a funkee twist. I want to just crammitall into one post but I'll break it down for you over the next week or so.


Just to highlight some of the events, firstly there was erotic art week. The first exhibition that I have ever had a part to play in. The reviews was bessss! I plan to do it again next year. I'm really proud of my collegues as well; Dave Williams, Richard Rawlins, Rodel Warner, Marylin Morrison, Darren Cheewah and Marlon Darbeau. These guys all had an excellent showing at erotic art week. Also check out indiGROOVE, Plenty coverage.


Then we have spice, plenty rush work, that I must admit that I'm kinda pleased about. (or at least not totally disgruntled about) Congrats to the Spice Carnival Band. They have plenty of rough edges but I think that they are gonna work it out. Read about them if you into the

Then there is funkezee... I'm really happy that this project is coming out the way it is. I have my hands full with commercial work... There will be plenty time to draw later... I guess.

Spice Carnival Media Launch Invite

Spice Carnival Band... Year 2.
About one year ago I was approached with an opportunity to do all the communication for a new carnival band called SPICE. My initial decision was, NO. I thought the persons of such an industry wouldn't be able to see value in me (even though it shouldn't be as such). Just by looking at what existed in the industry, from a Graphic Design perspective I thought was enough to justify my inference. I thought what would be required was quick easy developments of already existing media, and ... I don't do that. :)

Fortunately after meeting and knowing the very young and progressive individuals that were responsible for the band my decision quickly changed. I think that with their collaboration, I was allowed to grow even as I have helped them grow through visual communication and advertising.

One very attractive piece was the media launch invite. This project required a very memorable, attractive piece that would communicate the essence of the band and spark the curiosity of its future patrons.

The invite was very well recieved by both the client and the attendees.
