It's been a while . . .

since my last post. My apologies. Here are some things I've been up to:

2013 Calendars available on my website:

For the person who has everything - get them a Nak Fine Arts 2013 calendar! The price is right - only 5 bucks. Available in five designs:

Veggie Garden
Year of the Snake
Rowing
Ballfield
STOP! PAY TOLL!!


Late October 2012: Giants win AGAIN!!!

This of course prompted more celebratory artwork in the form of a costume to wear to the Halloween Victory Parade in downtown San Francisco - complete with "Championship Belts," capes & masks.



Early October 2012: 

I was asked to design the jersey and t-shirt for the BORP Revolution - a fund-raising bike ride that took place in Geyserville, CA. The outlines for the argyle section is made out of bike chain.


September 2012: Mystery Build

A "competition" created by a couple of artists in North Carolina. All entrants paid a fee to participate in the contest and everyone received a container of identical materials. This year's theme was "Your Favorite Movie."
You could use any/all/or a few
materials included in the kit
I chose "Groundhog Day" as my movie. Instead of just replicating a scene from the movie I wanted to create an impression of what the movie was about. In the movie Bill Murray's character lives the same day over and over again. I wanted to depict the passing of time.

Here is a short video showing my entry "Make the Most of Every Day":
 

Much to my dismay I didn't win anything. If you'd like to see what did win go to the Mystery Build site. My entry was #118.

Bike Jersey design


On October 16, 2010 I participated in the BORP (Bay Area Outreach & Recreation Program) Revolution. The REV is an organized bike ride in Somona County and is the main fundraiser for this Berkeley non-profit. BORP executive director Kaia Burkett asked me to design this year's bike jersey. I was hesitant at first not having done a bike jersey before but took on the challenge. I was pretty happy with the way they turned out. I ended up also designing the accompanying t-shirts that went to all participants and volunteers. (bike jerseys were awarded to riders raising $750 or more) In addition to designing the jersey & t-shirt I rode the 50-mile course and raised over $2500 for BORP.
