Quick Post Festival

This poster has everything to do with Lord of the Rings Online and nothing to do with an actual event.
My Buddy, Lewis, got me playing it and, recently, I made a Hobbit character. I’ve been running around the Shire, completing all sorts of quests which are mostly errands other Hobbits are too lazy to do [...]

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 [...]

Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce

Somewhere on Tumblr, yesterday, I saw a picture of the infamous Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce and had to make something related to it. So, here it is.
Not saying it’s great, or anything, but the background looks kinda cool by itself.
Thanks to the Poluglot Vegetarian blog for giving me info on typography.

I Like Your Stiles – Take III

Per request of @PoeGhostal, I have done another version of the “I Like Your Stiles” poster.
Go Teen Wolf!

I Like Your Stiles – Take II

Per request of @PoeGhostal, I have done another version of the “I Like Your Stiles” poster, which will be published in about 30 minutes, but it prompted me to also do a Julia Stiles version.
Enjoy.

I Like Your Stiles

I got the idea for this when I was looking up a source on a graphic I saw and liked. The research tracking lead me to a forum that was full of many different photos, .GIF animations and such. I saw the tagline on someone’s signature and decided I had to make a poster. DONE!
This [...]

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 [...]

High Five Friday

Made this graphic quick and easy-like to go with #HighFiveFriday, the new #FollowFriday a lot of us on Twitter decided to start using.
All in all, it is pretty much the same thing, but #FollowFriday has become jaded and meaningless. Now, we have motivation behind who we recommend for others to check out, plus, it makes [...]

PopSci à la Stéphane Massa-Bidal

Yes, yet another graphic done in the style of Stéphane Massa-Bidal’s retro-futuristic designs.
After I made one for Newsweek, I didn’t want to leave Popular Science out of the fun! PopSci will always be awesome in my eyes because of being, well, scientific and geeky, and because of this guy.

Newsweek – Stéphane Style

I made this to a blanket (and, probably, frivolous) request from Newsweek’s Tumblr blog asking for a Newsweek version of the awesome retro-futuristic covers for nonexistent books based on popular web-based social networks by Stéphane Massa-Bidal. I hope that they like it … or at least look at it :-/
UPDATE: They loved it!

Murder by Gum … and Explosives

I admit that this graphic is kind of morose, but it’s much more toned down than my original concept. What’s it all about? Well, I can’t really sugar-coat it. It’s about a kid chewing on explosive bubble-gum and blowing his jaw off. Here’s where I first published the graphic and the news.

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, [...]

The Sit Down: Poster #1

A local band asked me to perform with them and I decided to use it as an excuse to try my hand at creating a poster for the event and for the band. It took me a while to decide what I wanted out of this graphic, but I think it’s a nice mix of [...]

Captain SHIELD

So, what if the world was launched into a state of anarchy? What if we all ran to our governments and asked them to protect us? What if we surrendered most of our free will in exchange for safety against anyone out to harm us, Americans? What if this lead to top secret government information [...]

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 [...]

Typing of the Dead

A simple graphic I made for a review post. It was pretty quick and easy, composed of pictures of various hands and groups of people I found floating around the internet. The center piece is from an Evil Dead poster, but I added a keyboard. I wanted to only use red, black and white. I [...]
