THE3REE Vol. 1

THE3REE — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 00:38:18 +0000

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.

Vector illustration

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.

Tattoo Font

THE3REE — Sun, 02 May 2010 20:18:44 +0000

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)

Custom illustrations and custom lettering

THE3REE — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:32:49 +0000

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!

Little of this and that

THE3REE — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:36:40 +0000

Over the past few weeks I have had a variety of clients. From main stream rock to country rodeo shirts. All in all it has been awesome pushing my skills in different directions and learning / playing with new techniques. With all the work it has taken me away from building custom fonts and building new illustrations but totally worth it.

FREE VECTOR

THE3REE — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 00:51:03 +0000

I have received several emails in regards to the release of new stock art and fonts. First off I just wanted to thank everyone who has purchased as well as those who assist with getting it all up and ready. Second thing is you need to trust me when I say the wait will be worth it. I have several new fonts as well as stock art coming soon that I have been working well into the a.m. to ensure I deliver only the highest level of products. While you wait I decided to give you a little something to hold you over FREE of charge. Visit the FREE VECTOR section of the shop to get the skull package and my latest custom font FRESH SLICE.

Vector collection

THE3REE — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 02:37:45 +0000

So I have been hard at work building pages and pages of vector. My goal is to offer the standard pages of what I call “second stage” pieces (these are the fillers everyone uses to assist the design) as well as main focal points. Most of the vector illustrations or stock art I see out in the market are poorly executed and over priced. My intention is to offer the high end vector pieces like skulls, lions, eagles etc. That any designer can use as the main focal point. Most of the illustrations take about three to five hours to complete and are loaded with detail. I plan to launch the store in the next weeks as I finish up some custom fonts and other vector illustrations that I want to offer so check back soon.

Custom Fonts

THE3REE — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 15:58:26 +0000

In all the work I am doing lately customers want more of a custom feel when it comes to the shirt graphics. It is almost impossible at that point to use just a standard font (which I am rarely a fan of anyway). Each time I build the treatment I can’t help but to push on and finish the entire alphabet. This assists me with future projects needing custom fonts or straight custom lettering. When my shop is up I will be offering both clean sharp fonts as well as the above two. Follow up soon as I am getting ready to launch.

Stock Vector Collection

THE3REE — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 21:04:24 +0000

I am working on some high end stock vector images that will be for sale in the shop soon. These pieces will range in the subject matter but one thing will stay consistent… The detail! My goal is to have at least ten custom fonts and ten high end vector pieces. I will also be giving away some stuff as part of the grand opening of the shop so stay tuned.

Vector illustration detail

THE3REE — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 22:03:11 +0000

So I was explaining my last vector illustration to a friend and he commented it was hard to see any detail based on the size graphic I posted. I explained that I was still working on it and the detail was taking me close to 3 hours so his response was… “post some detail”

In the future I will ensure that all my posts showcase the art a bit better. I am in the process of finishing up some other vector illustrations (Tiger, Snake and an Eagle) Stay tuned!

So I have been working on some high end vector art that will eventually be for sale in the shop. All together I have about 10 illustrations done and thought I would post one to give you a look and get some feedback. Not sure all the illustrations will make it to the shop though. I want to hold some back for large pieces I am also doing and will sell as posters.
