THE 3REE

I just received word that some of my custom type treatments made it in to this addition of Los Logos. I submitted about twelve pieces and have not received an update exactly which ones but actually don’t care! Just glad I made it in. These are just a few I submitted.

I decided to put together a collection of work for 2009. I wanted to start cataloging some of my work for reference / laughs (I’m never satisfied and usually end up looking back at my work and cringing!) Not a for sale piece just my own personal history. The work is both a blend of clients, explorations and some fooling around. I have 72 Type treatments, 13 illustrations and a bunch of apparel graphics. You can see the entire spread here.

I had an opportunity to design for RED a while back. I was completely stoked to do it and had a blast designing for them. I just got an email that some of the merch dropped at Hot Topic so if you are in to good music show some love and get a shirt! You can see more of the designs here.

I have been exploring all types of new styles lately with vector illustrations. Most of them you can see here. This is one I was playing with a couple of days ago. To be honest it fell far short of the idea I had in mind (it’s actually only about 75% done here) but was an excellent learning experience. My plan is to accomplish several illustrations per month until I feel like I have found my rhythm and voice.

I get requests all the time for certain types of custom fonts or custom letters and they are mostly for tattoo styled letters. Each time I finish the job I evaluate if the letters are worthy of developing the font (If I or anyone else would want it in a future design). The following four are all from past jobs I have worked on. All will drop in the store soon (making over my entire site and store so the wait may be a bit)

What’s new… I’ve worked on a variety of clients in the past month. From band merch, custom fonts, custom illustrations, some custom lettering for my friends out west etc etc etc. All in all it’s been an interesting couple of weeks. Above is a little glimpse in to the “LAB”. I have decided to cut back to just a few clients and start the process of re branding both the company and the direction I want to take it in. If you know me you know the plan is to design in and around the extreme sports arena. Setting monthly goals and refining skillz!

The move to cut back on clients is also strategic in giving me more time to develop custom fonts and custom illustrations for sale in the shop. Keep an eye out as I have several new updates already done and ready to launch!
