Of Ducks and Hunting
My latest commissioned work is an implementation of the client’s ideas, and not so much of my own. This process felt much more like being a forensic sketch artist than a designer. What the client wants it what the client gets, however, and this is one of those occasions where all I can do is [...]
Cadillac Ranch
It’s that time, again… Time for me to pull my head up out of the sand trap that is my blindingly suffocating work schedule and get together with some friends and family to make a little music. This Saturday, I’ll be joining my cousin and his band, Dogs @ Lunch, at the Cadillac Ranch in [...]
Where is My Shadow?
I have ideas. I daydream. I do. Many times, I have ideas for stories and think of the various formats these stories could be presented in. I think of possible movies and video games, but a lot of times, I think of possible children’s books.
One such idea involves these nondescript, furry balls and the various [...]
Dogs @ Lunch: Pups At Play
Another Dogs at Lunch poster. I tried to stick within the Starbucks’ sort of design and colors. I think it worked out, okay, but something better that came of it is that I think I have a new idea for a marketing idea/logo, now.
Bitchin’ Birthday Wishes
Well, it’s that time of year, again … my favorite economist has gained another year of intellectual prowess and might as well have another poster dedicated to him, if for nothing else, just to motivate him to continue being awesome.
Here’s to you Stuclach!
Zombie Prion
So, I’m into zombies … if you didn’t know, already. One thing that always bothered me about popular theories of how zombies happen is that they revolve around viruses. The biologist in me wants to explore this more, though, instead of just writing it off as plausible. So, I’ve decided that viruses are a plausible [...]
From Paris with Love
So, I finally got the vectors done on this. I’m not ashamed to say that it took a good, long time. Unfortunately, I’m not sure if it’s the lack of sleep or lack of vision, but I’m drawing blanks on composition.
Any help, guys?
Info on the piece:
The saxophone is a Selmer Paris Series III that was [...]
Deepwater Horizon
So, last night at trivia, one of the answers was Deepwater Horizon of infamous BP Oil Spill fame. Just hearing the name, again, put an image in my mind and I had to get it out. So, this is pretty much what my head-brain-eye saw.
GameCube Splash
Well, I guess the whole retro-console-diagramming thing from yesterday might become something of a series with me. I like to find formulas, as blah as that may sound, but it keeps it interesting. Maybe this time I’ll be able to continue a series and develop it as I go along. Already between the last piece [...]
Famicom Disk System
Yes, you read the title correctly. This image is not in my normal dimensions, as you may have noticed. It’s based on l-vanpelt’s work. I tried to think about which console would be the coolest to do first in this style, which lead me to the Famicom Disk System. I made this because of pacalin’s [...]
The Happy Accidents #2
This is the version of the New Years Eve poster for band The Happy Accidents that I prefer over the preliminary one I created. The design is very simple, yet, based on the responses it’s received, it is also very attractive. Women in burlesque situations can do that, I guess. Anyway, because the poster is [...]
Techie
Sometimes I make things just to try out new styles. This one was just to let me see if I could reproduce a sort of techie/Tron kind of feeling. I’m not far off, but it is a bit too busy. I’d like to try this again with photomanipulation.
Happy Accidents
In my small town there are several tiny bands and only a couple of places to perform. The one for the adults is the Blue Sky Grill, as you may have noticed from reading other posts, but the one for high-schoolers and younger is a coffee shop called Beans and Strings. The drummer for Dogs [...]
Ubuntu Desktop
You may notice that the above image looks a little craptastic PPI-wise and that it even has type font on it. Well, ladies and gentlemen, for the first time on my site I have linked to the actual, for real, 100% highest quality converted .jpg of one of my renderings. So, click on through for [...]
Dogs @ Lunch #2
It’s all about giving thanks, and did we give! … t-the answer is yes. Yes, we gave.
Dogs @ Lunch put together a special performance at the same old awesome local bar, the Blue Sky Grill, and it was the best turnout, yet. The bar was completely packed with standing room only, and patrons still stuck [...]
Dogs @ Lunch #1
This poster is the first made for a local band I play with semi-regularly called “Dogs at Lunch.” It was formed by my cousin, Micah, who writes all the music and I do enjoy it very much. He brought me on as the lead player, but it’s a bit different than usual as I play [...]
No Place for Spoiled Pie
Yet another poster inspired by a deed in the Shire from the Lord of the Rings Online game.
A Hobbit baked several pies for various other Hobbits throughout the Shire. Unfortunately, after they were all delivered, she realized that the berries used in the pies were rotten. The deed is to run around and collect the [...]
Daydreaming
I was chatting on the phone, one day, and I was falling in and out of sleep. Sometimes, or most times, when I get very tired, but am trying to make myself hold on to reality and not pass completely out, I see things. Random images will pop into my head. In this case, a [...]
Sofa King
This is pretty self-explanatory, I think. There was extra time, I was bored, so I did something. Here it is.
Chuck Norris During Prohibition
So, I read an article (linked from Reddit) about “The Chemist’s War” during America’s national prohibition of alcohol. Looks like no one talks about it much, but the U.S. Government would poison some alcohol in an effort to deter some citizens from drinking it. This lead to more than one thousand deaths rather than mild [...]
So, I’m Officially a Published Illustrator
So, today was just any other normal day. I was doing work at my desk, while working on a few side projects at the same time. Every so often, during my days, I see what’s happening in the realm of twitter and other things interweb. Actually, we all know that’s a lie… I’m constantly monitoring [...]
Spinner’s End Graphic
This was done by the request of @MsPixieRiot for her band “Spinner’s End.” She was very specific in the style that she was looking for. She told me that she wanted something that looked like an old “Sorry, We’re Closed” sign and even sent me a few reference pics to work from. It helped a [...]
Downthreat Band Poster
I was approached by members of the band, Downthreat, and asked to create a poster and visual theme for them. They said they wanted something that resembled the general art of “Alice in Chains.” I think this is a close fit.
On the cards I chose Bleeding Cowboys for the font because it seemed to fit, [...]
Awesomnomics
Pretty much my first real poster made for that sexy, bastardy economics, Stuclach.
This whole concept is based off of a picture of him from Halloween 2008 (or was it 2007? … not sure). Anyway, he was dressed as a member of the Beastie Boys from the Sabotage movie video. I’m glad to say that he [...]
