Baroque Quilling

Spring in Portland Maine

Introducing Yakawonis.com !

I'd like to take a moment to introduce my new website Yakawonis.com!

At this site you can see my past work! Check it out and if you or someone you know needs a graphic designer or illustrator let me know.

Happy Easter

In between working on more time consuming projects, I like to have a little fun and spend a few hours playing with the quilling paper. Each of these pieces took less then 5 hours, and because of this I have never thought they were good enough to merit a post of there own. But because they are so fun and colorful I thought it would be nice to show them in a group as an Easter card to my fans!

This work combines quilling and photography, a combination of techniques I will be exploring more because the effect is so fun and interesting!

Anatomy of the Egyptian Revolution

While I have a clear passion for quilling and anatomy, I also have a passion for revolution. Inspired by the Egyptian revolution I have created this poster in my beloved Adobe Illustrator.

It is an illustration of Mubarak. His face is shaded in with the chants of the protesters. I made the Arabic font red to represent all of the emotion’s (shame, anger, ect.) connected with a red face. In the background I have used headlines about the protests from the west.

I would like to thank Democracy Now for providing the majority of the text I used in this piece, Goggle Translate for translating the Arabic text (I thought it only appropriate to set the text in the protesters native language), and the Egyptian people because your strength and perseverance has inspired the world.

If you would like a free PDF of this please email me at yakawonis@gmail.com and I will send you one!

I am going to start on a map of the Jasmine Revolution as a whole soon. Is there any information that you would like to see on this map?
