Title: RRR School contest
Location: Fashion Industries High School
The goal of this project/contest was to clean up our school so it could be
sanitary and healthy environment for our students and faculty. As well as
win prize money to help our school economically. We had made various teams
such as storyboard artists, writers, photographers, and a graphics team. I
was apart of the graphics team. I had thought up the idea of making a
comic book inspired project. Everyone told me it was a great idea, and
went along with it. Since we couldn't use already established characters
[X-MEN!!] due to copyright laws we had to make out own. So I asked one of
my friends to draw a sketch of my ideal female character, and she did.
Then I scanned it and digitally colored it and added all the graphics on
to it, as you can see above. We called this character "Recycling Renee" In
conclusion this was our logo and because of it we won the RRR apple award
and $7,000 dollars!! I was so happy!

Title: Self-Portrait College/Words Project
Location: Fashion Industries High School
We where given these tools: A magazine, a pair of scissors, glue and a
white piece of construction paper. We were told to create a self portrait
out of those tools and then we would submit the portrait along with a poem
that was written based upon it for a contest. I never thought I'd win...my
teacher didn't either she told me it was too depressing and dull. I guess
the proved her wrong didn't I!!! Now my work is displayed at two
galleries:
- Self Portrait collage and poem chosen by ARTifacts to be displayed at
their gallery.
[Check It Out!! at Diane von Furstenberg Studio - 385 West 12th Street,
New York City, NY.
- My artwork was chosen to be on permanent display at the office of the
Superintendent of Manhattan High Schools in the hallway outside of room
336 of the building.
[Check it Out!! at 112 Amsterdam Avenue - New York, NY]
the poem that I wrote with it:
Black, White and Grey
Blankness in the pupils that set the face that greets others.
Two contrasted ways of living, creating a world not worth living.
Friendly eyes -- hiding many lies.
Pushing back advice, being hard headed and never thinking twice.
Loneliness covers the rising star, trying to glimmer through the cries.

Title: Nintendo Contest - SHiNE: Mock entry
Location: Manhattan, NY
SHiNE asked me to create a mock entry to use as a sample for a contest
they are having with Nintendo. I had to incorporate SHiNE, my community
and Nintendo. I began to draw, and then once that was done I scanned my
work into my PC, where then I used adobe photo shop 6 to add color. I'm
proud of it. (click on the image for a larger view)
What I had to do:
"What I'd like you to do is create a *mock* entry..." - ". . . We’d love
to include it on the promotional page for this contest. Of course, we’ll
give you a credit as the designer." ~ Tangie of SHiNE

[Verse 1: dimikxx]
I don't give a fuck about your fives or who you mackin’ nigga,
We from Odessa, Ukraine, shit happens,
Girls flappin’, hey please take my poll,
Nah I ain’t hollarin’ back at ya check out your crazy mole,
It's a cruel world, sorry I ain’t nice,
Half a mill for the buddy list, thats da price,

Why ya frontin’? – oooooh too many hits?
