]]>Screen Printing!http://www.shingo.ca/blog/2011/11/22/screen-printing.htmlShingo2011-11-23T03:27:19Z2011-11-23T03:27:19ZJust completed my last day of Screenprinting class at OpenStudio (401 Richmond building). I will not miss the paint stains, lower back pains, and toxic fumes. I will however definitely miss the super nice class mates that I met. Super talented bunch! Best part was to get each artist's print at the end of class. Hope to see the everyone from class again soon, at the upcoming:

]]>New Halloween Arthttp://www.shingo.ca/blog/2011/10/27/new-halloween-art.htmlShingo2011-10-27T19:30:31Z2011-10-27T19:30:31ZYes it's that time of the year, where we all get dressed up in some zany costume of a character that's super popular in pop culture, or super obscure that requires a little bit of explanation over a trip to the bar (I prefer the latter). This year however, I'm kind of on the fence about going out, since the deadlines seem to be piling up nicely (a tad crazy). 

Anyhow, a few weeks back I finished a new design for (what was to be) Monster Massive's upcoming Halloween party. Just found out that it has been cancelled. More info here.

I rather like this one, and hope to get more chances to do more of these. Let me know what you think. :)

Although (like most bands big in the 80s), I tend to listen to material they recorded up until the 90s. These are my top five 80s-NO songs for today.
