Imaginary Movies :: Vol II : LP

By Music

I’m happy to announce the release of my new LP – Volume II of my Imaginary Movies series. While singles have become increasingly popular in today’s music landscape, there’s still something special about creating a cohesive collection of songs under one ‘roof’ – and this project called for exactly that approach. I’ve gathered a collection of sci-fi-inspired compositions under one unified umbrella, creating an atmospheric journey that could score scenes from an unfilmed space epic.

Building on my previous Imaginary Movies volume, this album explores new sounds and textures. Each track is designed to evoke specific cinematic moments – from quiet scenes of deep space exploration to intense interstellar encounters – all while leaving room for the listener’s imagination to craft their own visual narrative.

Tecosha’s New Logo

By Design

I recently designed a new identity for my music outlet called Tecosha. The name is an abbreviation of Textures, Colours, and Shapes. 

I created a minimalistic typeface to suggest the futuristic and mystic style of the latest music written. The letters all fit within a perfect square. The shapes give it a touch of seriousness and a dramatic edge. The style is influenced by old school sci-fi movie industrial lettering seen on spaceships. The lines and intersections are inspired by the structural shapes found in Korean letters.

Nature Observations – Untitled

By Illustration

I have been reading a lot, lately. Books about: spirituality, philosophy, poetry,… One of the common theme is the connection with nature. While reading all of this inspirational content, I have been sketching a lot very minimalistic organic shapes. Intentionally reducing the busyness while looking at the details, of the surrounding elements.

I feel that I will be sharing more of those.
Dave!

As part of my practice, I often create custom typefaces (lettering) for my clients. This one is an ongoing project. I am building a full font set. As, you can see below, it is quite geometrical. Every letter fits within the same space, in both width and height.

(WIP) To be continued…

Openness

There is more to what we see…

In a Box

By Illustration

As creatives, we have to be careful not to get trapped in a box.

We have to option to choose between blending in or standing out. The option to follow the trends or go agains’t them. The option to listen to all opinions or to ignore them. Of course, there is an in between to all of these options but, this can be a serious challenge. No matter what, in the end, we have the option to choose between fitting in a box,… or not.

Let’s be creative and embrace our uniqueness.

Water

By Illustration

I’ve been sketching and drawing a lot lately. All sorts of lettering and doodles. “Water” should probably be represented in a fluid way but… I like this imaginative variation. Playing with word association. Forcing myself to question it from the very start.

Trust Me!

By Illustration

Doodling. Another fun activity to keep the creative flow rolling. Done with no intention. I take a piece of paper (or the iPad) and draw an imaginary character. The less I know what I want to do upfront, the more fun I have. I see it as improvising with a pen.

Here’s an example.
