Character Studies Zine was a short edition of 40, but I managed to produce some extras due to quality control. Below is the info from their initial release. a number of these 7 lost zines are not of the edition and stamped as NOT FOR CONSTRUCION, but still bear my signiture.
Character studies is a long & overdue Zine for me to be producing. For those that know my history, I was rooted in illustration and character designs were my first love. It’s what lured me into painting characters on walls and eventually teaching me about my own creative side. Some of the characters date as far back to 1993, the year I started working under the moniker Kofie. I decided to keep the Zine non-chronological to show that even if there are years between drawings, there is still a tie in, a common denominator… a love for lines. Some of the faces may be familiar to some, as they are the original sketches to paintings I’ve executed on exterior walls. I was selective on my character choices here, but all in all I think this first showcase sets a good pace and introduction to some. Enjoy.

Uncommon Project:
I recently was invited via Juxtapoz to submit some of my artwork to the Uncommon Project. They produce and sell customizable mobile phone cases. You’re able to scale and rotate images from a vast selection of artists to get a composition you like on a mobile device case.
Currently they only have designs available for the iphone case, but more cases will be available later. This is a bit different then the Gelaskins style covers in which it’s a hard shell- like composition and uses a Thermo-Active Transdermal Technology process to apply the images.
I submitted 3 designs that I felt were a bit different from my selection of skins via Gelaskins. They are a bit on the washed/ lighter side yet still maintain my design direction.
Baby Minto, WatercolorTeck & Case Study Capsule Cases, available to customize & purchase.
Scorpio & Smoggy Air Courtesy of Gela Skins::I recently was approached by Gela Skins to submit some original art for their line. Gela Skins produces high quality removable protective covers to customizing you various portable devices. They feature stunning, photo-quality graphics ranging from fine art prints to contemporary urban images.So far I have submitted two designs, Scorpio and Smoggy Air. Both collage heavy works incorporating found ephemeral paper, my line work and structural aesthetic. I felt that these works would fit the project, keeping my ‘Vintage Futurism’ design direction. Futuristic modern mobile devices wrapped with vintage paper in a structured collage assemblage.
