Global Dragon . Graphic Design . Visionary Art . Music Welcome to Amani Friend's portfolio site since 1997. Global Dragon is a multimedia studio based out of Santa Fe, New Mexico specializing in web design, event flyers, album artwork, logo identity, photography, and visionary artwork. Amani began his career as a graphic designer through the creative collaboration with the Cosmic Kidz event promotion team in 1998, designing flyers, promotional material, and teaching himself the ins and outs of web design. In 2001 Global Dragon was hired as a designer for the Studio X web design company in Santa Fe, and we have designed over 50 websites with them over the years. In addition to visual design projects, the Global Dragon music studio is a hub for collaborations with other electronic and world music producers from all over the west coast. We live in amazing times where artists are now capable of collaborating together even when they live in different parts of the country. The Desert Dwellers collective is such a group of producers who primarily work together through this unfolding virtual space, finding pockets of time where they can collaborate in realtime as nomadic pathways merge and unmerge. Why Dragons? In the history of virtually every culture in the world, Dragons are an ancient symbol for knowledge, wisdom, and power. The word Dragon originates from the Greek Drakoni, which means ‘The Seeing Ones.’ Thus Dragons are associated with the ability to see or perceive phenomenon, particularly above and beyond the normal range of perception. In Yoga and Eastern mysticism, we see a parallel symbol within the Kundalini energy that awakens our energy centers and brings us to higher levels of consciousness and empowerment. Ultimately, the Dragon is here as a reminder for us to look within; a vehicle for creating mystery and magic in a modernized world. Seeing as Amani was born the year of the Fire Dragon, this symbol has always been a major creative driving force. Thanks for visiting )'( // A \\ Desert Friend Email . design@globaldragon.com Web .
