One project I am pretty stoked on is this event poster for Scion via Revolt Marketing for the next Steve Aoki show in Orlando. My first thought is to do what everyone else is doing (ala the Dim Mak) style, but it didn’t make sense. I just wanted to do my own thing. If i wanted to do some weak ass doodles (and hype that they are the coolest thing ever) and pretend to be a self centered hipster with my script tattoo on my chest stating how I’m God’s gift to Emo, I could of blended this bastard right in. Instead, I thought I would enjoy doing some of the more enjoyable electro hipster trends… vinyl toy, giant eyeball, gold bling faked up, shutter shades and a nice triangle in the back. If that is not a hodge podge of awesomeness, then I am giving up design dammit! (actually, joking…)

Sorry for the lack of updates. There has been so much going on over the past month that trying to make time to even update my site seems like a extra task I would try to push on till later. Between Chris & I working on the Back in Black Show, kicking out pieces for the Offspring, Kiss, Globe and Quiksilver, I’ve realized that I have neglected this.

Well, last night with the assistance of Ryan Chase, we were able to get the Back in Black site launched. Above are my two pieces for the show. In the middle of getting the site ready for launch, I was in the middle of two IChat conversations with Maxx242 & ISO50 as well as trying to wrap up details on another deadline. I’ve gotten pretty good at muli-tasking. So anyway. A few things we have going on for the Back in Black event are some special giveaways from Anarchy Eyewear & Angel Eyewear. They are providing a great selection for Anarchy Sunglasses for guys and Angel Sunglasses for the girls. We will also have this (above) limited edition print at the show which I’ll be signing and numbering to give out. So yeah, check out the Back in Black site and see what is going on!
