JELI DESIGNS

It's been awfully quiet here at GARUFF. So quiet in fact, that we have moved.
Garuff has now moved to www.jelidesign.com
Please feel free to click on the above link to see how Garuff has progressed from amateur designer, to profesional with experiences in Asia, America and Europe.
The new website looks and feel truly Garuff, but with a twist. The website is simple, elegant and beautiful!
Additionally, we have a successful blog that features how we got to an end result.
Garuff has been an amazing time, and it's been great to view the previous posts over the years. We are still getting hits on here, but this will be our last post.

For the last time,
Love Garuff / Jeli

ART o'CLOCK

Now, I love art. To me, design and art go hand in hand. I can't decide which one I like best. But when you're living in a world where design is absolutely everywhere around us, it does get hard to notice and appreciate some of the finer things in life, art.
I'm on instagram, mainly for the art. I like to follow people who don't just upload 'selfies' but also who like to showcase their talents.
I wanted to showcase the talent of someone that I follow. His name is Hau Ma and his drawings are probably the most beautiful I've ever seen. Definitely follow this man on instagram if you're interested at all in art. Hau Ma even does short videos on how to draw a certain object.
Enjoy these, guys. Beautiful!

NEWPORT STREET ART?

I went to town (Newport, South Wales) today with my mate to look at phones and took my camera because I was taking photos of my nan's dog and had my camera with me whilst in town. I saw some vandalism/tatty shit on some of the walls in the high streets and took some pics. This kind of rough, edgy and ripped look is right up my street. If you look at my Basquiat stuff, its all about texture and vandalising something to get it to look out there!
Also, third picture down - Circus fonts are used again. Honestly, since I first blogged about it, I can't stop seeing it.
BTW, the girl is my mate - she's so photogenic!

MORE HCA SUMMER EXHIBITION - ARTS

 I'm not sure if I am allowed to do this - but as I was printing off today, I walked through the Summer Show in HCA and saw a few pieces that I really liked. I don't know who did them but they're really nice, quite quirky and really different.
Enjoy folks!

"BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I CAN ACTUALLY DRAW."

 Whilst in Pontypool College studying BTEC Graphic Design, I decided to make a book on my favourite artist, Jean Michel Basquiat and mimic some of his most famous pieces of work and do my own style of it. His work is completely up my street, I love abstract art and always have, but like Basquiat said, I can actually draw too!
I got a distinction for this project, thats just like an A in A level. Hope you's enjoy!
