stuff i've been sitting on

I got into a phase where I felt compelled to hand draw, scan, then meticulously trace over in Adobe Illustrator every single instance of typography I made. This resulted in some fun stuff (as seen below in the 2nd and 3rd pics)
I drew the first image with markers, scanned it in, then digitally colored it in Photoshop. I don't think it's done yet and it may never be. I just wasn't happy with the letterforms. So I started to trace over the whole thing in Illustrator (you can see my progress in picture #2.

The third image is something I made during a time when I was particularly fascinated with signatures.
That last one is just some Lisa Frank fever.

Broken Hearted Friends

Designed a CD cover for Pilots & Errors' new CD "Broken Hearted Friends." You can listen and download for free here. I highly recommend it.

In other news:
Kentucky is finally thawing out. Spring here is truly something surreal. It's like those street scenes from movies we watched as kids in the early 90's. Lots of sparkly rays of golden light and robin's egg blue skies. INFINITE white petals and wild violets in every forgotten patch of grass. The highway medians are a purple sea and I love it.

Off to Tin Roof to eat a $5 quesedilla and drink cheap beer. Bye guyz

an untriumphant return

It's been a really long time, guys.
But it feels like even longer.
My lack of posts is due to a decreased amount of free time and motivation. I got a new job last October. I sit at a desk and work at a computer from 8 - 5 doing design for a company in a nearby county. So when I get home, my eyes usually hurt too much to even attempt my own personal projects. Gotta go get new prescription lenses soon.

Trav has a job where he goes in to work at 5pm and gets off at 9pm. This is pretty unfortunate considering I am just leaving the office when he's going in to work. We don't see each other enough, so we stay up too late in an attempt to be together.

I'll be 24 this Tuesday.

I am not always such a sad sack. I promise.

prints/shirts

As you can see from the hands on the girls, they aren't finished yet. But they're nearing completion. The picture with the hula hoop would be a 3-color print. The one with red-headed girls is only a 2-color. I'll be adding more detail.

1 and done!

Hey, fancy friends.
I'm doing stuff. Promise. I've just been [insanely] busy.
After 1 year working there, I decided to part ways with the University of Kentucky.

I'll brb, folks.

stuff!

Hey, you guys!
I have been working on the painting!






















I have also designed the album packaging for Pilots & Errors upcoming CD release called July. I'm currently working on an accompanying website. Fun!

Screen Printing

Hey guys. Stuff is getting done 'round these parts. I'd post it now, but I want to do a slow release; 1 new design every month for 12 months. I've got 2 images done right now, but I'm working on setting up a screen print studio so I can make them available in hand-pulled print form. It might take me a couple months to source materials and do this cheaply, but i'm all kinds of excited.
