Here's the tee I did early this year for Graniph. Check it out http://www.graniph.com/en/product/ALL_ITEMS/T_Shirt/designID-001007011100.html

It's been an awesome experience working with the guys at Artwork for some collaboration t-shirts. They also have some designs from some other local talents! 

Here's a few closeups of the work I did for ESPN Classic. More info on the project on my Behance folio http://www.behance.net/gallery/ESPN-Classic-Great-Individuals/1884937

Been getting into some brush lettering lately. The brush pen was given to me by Leigh Reyes (ECD of Lowe Philippines). Here's a few samples.

The wife and I had some thank you cards made too!

Some recent stuff I've done for http://www.formathletics.com 

Visual.ly just guessed a profile of me based on my tweets. It's amazing the system knew I was a designer!

The 2 shirts I designed for Zoo York last year are finally out. Check them out. Click on the images to buy them on Pacsun.com

Zoo York Aerial Tee

Zoo York Rise Above Tee

With 1 day left before the Pacquiao - Mosley fight, Manny has been seen wearing my tee. Here's some photos and footage during the weigh-ins. He's also encouraged everyone to wear yellow on fight day as a symbol of unity for his fight against poverty in the Philippines.

The Sacred Heart piece I did is now being sold in the Nikestore. Click here: Nike changed the colorways a bit. Here's how I wanted it to look on blue.  The yellow should've been gold foil. 

Early this year, I was emailed by the fine folk over at BDA Creative London for an exciting project for ESPN Europe. I've always wanted to tap the UK/Europe market for some design projects so you could imagine I was jumping off my seat with this opportunity!

ESPN Classic was creating a new identity tv spot and tapped several artists/illustrators to do portraits of athletes. It was an honor to design for these fine names in sports -- Ayrton Senna (F1), Jonah Lomu (rugby), Carl Lewis (track & field), and Steffi Graf (tennis).

Below is the final illustration. I can't wait to see the actual animation!! Here's a link to some larger photos on ESPN http://espnmediazone3.com/rs/?c=3055&k=259cb0310f . There's some fantastic work from other artists as well.

Some closeups:

Here's the teaser animation:

Tony Atayde of Nike Philippines posted this on his Twitter last week. Manny was training in Baguio and wearing my latest design for him.

The original brief was to design something around the quote that Manny said -- "Don't tell  your God you have a  problem, tell your problem you have a great God." Manny is a pretty religious person so I designed this based on the sacred heart.  I wanted the quote to be a secondary element, only seen upon closer inspection.

Here's another photo (source: AP) 
 

Nike did a version on a grey shirt which kinda looks weird to me haha. Here's the original colorway I did.

I also did an interpretation of the brief using a rosary as the main design element--and the quote forming the beads. I guess there's something about rosaries and boxers. Manny is often seen wearing one, especially before and after his fights. I thought it was a cool concept as well but unfortunately Nike did't produce it.

Last Saturday I was invited to give a short talk to design and photography students. Hopefully inspired a few of them kids to pursue their passions. Also found a few artist's works that I loved. I wrote down the names but unfortunately I forgot which names the pieces belong to. Great stuff!!

I decided to design a poster and t-shirt to help the victims of the recent earthquake in Japan. Please purchase the print here: http://www.society6.com/studio/ajdimarucot/Resuscitate
