An oomung oomung is a hermit crab, notorious hunters of the night, the best time to catch salmon off the beach!
Late May she’s a starry starry night. Ol’man moon nowhere in sight. Southeast wind playing tricks on my mind. Fingers bent and ready to hold the line. The Scorpion is rising in the east. Orion ah well he’s just gone to sleep. Corvus crow watch him diving down. Simpson Beach seems so far away from town
Catfish don’t you bother me tonight. Oomung oomung scabbin round the firelight. The line tears sideways salmon on the run, Poke them coals ’cause supper here she comes, Can’t explain this feeling but I know it’s high, Don’t really want to know the reason why. Another wave comes crashin’ down around my feet .I’m stoned on fresh air down on Simpson Beach, The Scorpion is rising in the east, Orion ah well he’s just gone to sleep, Corvus crow watch him diving down, Simpson Beach seems so far away from town

Objective:
Representing How Duraban kills harmful microbe a fun, scary yet clean way. Duraban is a molecule that shape itself in a sword on which the bacteria, mold, virus and algae impale themselves.

An image is worth a thousand words, so I draw the little monsters literally impaling themselves on the molecule. The characters are scary, yet the style of illustration is quite clean and shiny.
Lonely Islander
2008
Design for Arii Creation, French Polynesia.
This is an attempt to try to renew pareo design in Tahiti. Instead of having the typical flower motif, I thought of using a pareo as a canvas for a whole image. Boss didn’t like it, too different…
Now that I look back, I think I was stating to feel lonely and ready to go!
Seamless Design for textile, Arii Creation
2008
Arii Creation,
French Polynesia
After designing the flowers, I tried to convey a different feel, just by changing the colours.
I started with pastels, and worked my way to 70’s colors in the last sample.
It’s amazing how it’s the colours that give the mood.

The three versions are:
– Green for the forest (Polynesian Island are covered by tropical forest).
– Blue for the lagoon.
– Grey for cloudy days..
