Another good friend of mine, and yet another excellent DJ & Producer, Samma Lone. This piece was done in a WPAP Style. I am still working to develop this style, but I am enjoying the outcome. Being a fan of both abstract and pop art, this style plays to both of those interests, and scratches multiple itches.

Abstract Beauty #2
This is Abstract Beauty #2, this time focusing on the eye. The shapes lead your mind on an exploratory adventure, as it tries to decipher what you are seeing. The individual elements could add up to any number of things, but when viewed at a distance, the exact nature of the image becomes clear.
Abstract Beauty #1
This is Abstract Beauty #1, focusing on the female lips. The individual elements could add up to any number of things, but when viewed at a distance, the exact nature of the image becomes clear.
Designer Throw Pillows for June
I am just crazy about Throw Pillows and Society6’s throw pillows are made from quality materials with excellent color reproduction. Throw Pillows are just a great way to add a bit of art to your everyday life.
Here are 4 throw pillows featuring recent designs from Studio Nakamura.
Keep Looking Up
Keep Looking Up is a vibrant illustration of a 360 Degree view, looking skyward at the shining sun. Tall buildings encircle the canvas, giving the viewer a grounded feel. This piece was designed for Canvas Prints, but also looks great on other items such as Throw Pillows, Shower Curtains, and more.
Sneaker Freak – Air 1985
A classic sneaker illustration for all the Sneaker Freaks out there. The Air Jordan is an icon of the 80’s, having been first released by Nike in 1985. I have layered the illustration over a complimentary retro pattern appropriate for the times. You can also find the background pattern as a stand-alone work, titled “Stolen 1985”.
Stolen 1985
“Stolen 1985” is a Retro Throwback Pattern reminiscent of classic 80’s design. Originally created as a background for the Illustrated Air Jordan Sneaker design “Air 1985”, minus the sneaker, hence Stolen 1985. Great on all sorts of textiles, towels, rugs, shower curtains, and canvas prints!
Twigged Textile Pattern
Twigged distills the essence of nature with its tree branch structure and organic feel. Part of the Nakamura Textile Series.
This pattern was created specifically for Throw Pillow use, but works well with other textile items. An abstract collection of branches create an interesting organic pattern. The pattern is layered over a seamless canvas texture for added detail on any surface.
Copacabana – Boardwalk at Night
Copacabana – Boardwalk at Night utilizes the iconic pattern of the historic Copacabana Boardwalk paired with a Starry Sky in shades of Blue & Green. This series has a number of derivative designs aptly titled around the time of day.
See also Copacabana – Day 1, and Copacabana – Midnight 3.
Copacabana – Midnight 3
Copacabana encapsulates elements of Rio, with its lovely palm trees and the iconic pattern of the historic Copacabana Boardwalk. This series has a number of derivative designs aptly titled around the time of day.
This piece is “Copacabana – Midnight 3” and exchanges the lively green palm trees of Copacabana – Day 1, for a more muted look, representative of Night, in a vibrant blue hue. Again the Boardwalk pattern returns, and the stars in the night sky are more prominent.
