Fay, Twitter, ASR, Vans, Anarchy and a CD Cover…

admin — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:00:58 +0000

We have this tropical storm gunning for Orlando from the the south at about 10 miles per hour, so trying to do as much as possible before we are effected by possible power outages.. Since we live in a new developed area, and surrounded by trees, figured it going to happen.. but when…:) So just in case, trying to be as ‘productive’ as possible, and I was. I signed up on Twitter, so if you’re a stalker and want to know what is what with what, I’m there. I got 7 pairs of Anarchy sunglasses in the mail, which was pretty exciting, . Then found out my business cards are in the mail. After that was done, I wrapped up the planning for ASR and Agenda which is coming at the beginning of next month over in San Diego. Then finished up the day doing a few illustrations for Vans and trying to get a CD cover finalized. Tomorrow is much of the same. Hope to accomplish much the same.

2nd Class Moleskin Proof

Today I got a package with a proof of a possible moleskin I wanted to do up. This is a 5.25” x 8.25”. I believe I want to run this one as well as the bear print, but then again, it all depends on cost. What are your thoughts. I’m personally loving getting things engraved…

Ah..Doing Some Illustrations…

admin — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 04:27:05 +0000

I have a few projects that call for various illustrations, one of which is a nature themed project. So it was nice to day to spend time putting together the illustrations (and no, I can’t show the whole pieces due to various terms). These are still in the raw phase, so don’t hate! The last project, which was last week was some pieces for Nike on the fly and a rush deadline, but it felt nice to click, sip coffee, and do something that was relaxing.On the news front, doing a project for a friend in Seattle who also has Jeremy Fish involved. It should be interesting to see the diversity of the products once things are sorted. Shane (ShanesArt) let me know that I was given credit over at Nike for the House of Hoops, Olympic pieces. You can view the site and short video here. I also got word from Jason over at Nike that I should be getting a laser engraved PS3 with my art on it.. not a bad trade off. There is a lot of nutty stuff going on and it is very exciting just to hear from various people in the industry. And lastly, I chose on the business card.. Also made a business card coaster! I’m going to include that into all the orders over at Legacy of Defeat. Once I get the final samples, I’ll post them.

Smashing Pumpkins Final

Here is the final approved poster. There were some changes, but for the part, i really like it. I added some details in the white so it’s not a solid white and wanted to make the white the main focal point so the first thing you focus on is the name of the band, with the elements and illustrations playing a secondary part.

AMC Monsterfest Type

Here are some type pieces I put together while working with Stephen Schuster over at Element217 on the AMC Monsterfest pitch. I wanted to give a range between the old school hot rod monster (Rat Finkish) to the grind house style, as well as a few that were middle of the road. Over all the typography turned out solid.On a secondary note, if you are looking for someone to do some solid video work, check out Stephen’s work, you won’t be disappointed.

Just in, the new Bear Laser Engraved Sketchbook. Available over at Legacy of Defeat. Grab them soon because they are limited edition and won’t be reprinted (or re-engraved).

Smashing Pumpkins Event Poster … Advice Please

admin — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 05:02:07 +0000

Working on a gig poster for one of the Smashing Pumpkins dates down in Miami. So far I like where it’s at, but would love to hear some feedback to see what could be better. I personally like the muted gold and white (top one), but also like the CMYK one (bottom) because it has this 60’s black-light style. Any thoughts? Loves? Hates? etc…

Hydro74 Business Card… Advice Please

Aiight, I am super excited about getting these done. However with these choices, there are a few I’m debating on. So i wanted to get your thoughts and advice. I’m even considering doing two up, but that could be over kill. Let me know your loves and hates because I am not positive on the one I want to move forward with.

Bear Laser Print

Here is a print that is going to be done and will be given away with the new Bear Sketchbook once they are in. I will have a few sold independently, but mostly just a nice little add on. It’s pretty rad!!

2nd Class Poster

admin — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 05:29:24 +0000

Just got these prints in today. They looks amazing and the printer did a fantastic job on them. They are over at Legacy of Defeat if you want one. Prints are still only $17.This week flew by. I wanted to update on things, but each day went from waking up to realizing it’s 2am. I am ready for a vacation to say the least (yes, another one for those who read often). Just wrapped up 30+ shirt layouts, a couple snowboards and had time to even get a new puppy. She is a cute Black Lab. Also, for those who have asked. Yes, I am now on Facebook. The damn new Iphone convinced me to sign up. Must click buttons. Stalkers are more than invited
