Back posting


Been awhile since I last posted...
Doing some traveling and R&R....
Heres a new piece for you all....Just completed for a new company called "Harm" Industries...
They are an action sports clothing brand on the East Coast that target the Mixed Martial Art crowd
The Husky Head is their Corporate Logo. I added the Warrior helmets and chain element to symbolize Aggression.....This will be nice to see when its printed..

SEALs


One of my customers asked to re-create the Navy Seals Logo. They wanted to use the logo as a 3-D all Metal Plaque to use on their new product line targeting Ex-Seals and Active Duty. I decided to create everything in a Vector Format as its easily scalable and a bit more sharper for reproduction. I thought the end result came out nice.

New Design!


Heres a new design for a Tour company based in Los Angeles.
They specialize in Motorcycle tours around the world. They have about 35 locations w/ full functioning retail stores.  This one is for their Las Vegas location. I got a few more going but this is my favorite...fun to draw

New Design!



Heres a new one for a Kart Racing Company..
Obvious tribute to you know who..
I originally created as a Skull Character but they wanted a "Dragon" to match their Dragon Race Theme..
still turned out cool I think..
Heres the Punk Pink version and Munster Vintage Version...

Colt


A new pitch for this company called Colt Arms....The idea...Hand drawn Jester Skull in the background... this is just to give the design some edge....Highly accurate depictions of the Legendary Colt 1911 Original Gov. Issue...The Piece that started the 1911 craze and followers...Large Colt Logo in the background...

You might have seen them around...... 100+ year old company....Anyways...Colt lacks any sort of serious Apparel line and tee shirts...Its about time they capture the new generation of Fans....For those who don't know me I work as a Designer in the Military and Law Enforcement industry.....(as well as the General Apparel industry)......I hope me and my team get them online...would be exciting to design an entire clothing line for a richly historic and legendary company....Yow!

Decided to hit the local trails and do some DH runs...for those who know me I'm also into DH with the Six (Downhill Mountain biking).....theirs a local trail near the 405 off sunset and Kenter....the ride is quick but the trail is probably the best jump/pump trail in Socal......lots of pro riders hit these trails all the time....

theirs a huge 15 foot gap jump...wowzas!.....maybe some day when I get some kahonez......view at the top was nice....short steep fireroad to the top... bit of sweatin.....

New design in progress for this CO in HI....You might have heard of them if your from Oahu....T&C....The Idea is based around Hawaiian Culture and historic events. We are also going towards a raw Hand drawn look with a bit of modern edge mixed in. Heres the inking and pencils. Now I need to scan the artwork in and start manipulating the layout and background elements. I created a nice paisley pattern for the background. Mixed with some traditional elements and old school Hawaiian pieces...I should be finished by Monday....will post the final when I finalize the type and fonts....

Submissions to Tee Contests




Well I finally have some time to submit some tee designs to Threadless and a couple other websites..
known about Threadless for about 3 years now but never came around to submitting anything..
They've definitely stepped up their game and Prize!!....
I've noticed more high profile and professional artists are now getting in the game....Nice...Gives more credibility to Threadless and some of those other Tee sites...

Anyways check them out and vote if you can! Thanks!
