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 [...]
So, pretty much every time a commission is done, balance is required. The balance I refer to is not that of an artistic nature, really, but more of a what-the-client-demands-versus-what-makes-graphic-sense. Here is such an example.
I made a prototype poster and went through only four revisions before achieving the client’s desired finalization, which required incorporation via [...]
I believe that every person on the planet is linked. Humans are social creatures, and as such, we all survive the world, together. It is this notion that drives us to save not only ourselves, but each other, from certain damnation and is what allows philanthropic causes to exist. One such cause I helped to [...]
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.
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!
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
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 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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
