Los Logos

THE3REE — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:54:26 +0000

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.

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

THE3REE — Fri, 07 May 2010 01:55:34 +0000

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!

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.

Custom lettering again

THE3REE — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 21:09:03 +0000

I have been hard at work developing new fonts for the shop (late nights). Most should be available in a couple of weeks or so. Some of these can be seen better here. In addition I have decided to give some of the better fonts away this time so stay posted.

Custom lettering

THE3REE — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:40:46 +0000

So I decided that it was time to take my custom fonts to the next level. This time I started with some real objectives for the font. Once built the custom font had to flow like a script font (one letter leading to the next). The second objective was to have a word or phrase appear as a complete graphic after completion. I didn’t want it to look fragmented in any respect from the flow of each letter in unison to the next or an individual glyph by itself. The last objective was to reach beyond the all caps version. In some of my recent type treatments seen here I have been refining those skills to achieve a font like this but never felt like the lettering had the potential to go the distance. As I complete any custom lettering I always ask myself “can this be a font” and often the answer is no. Most treatments I do just work for that word or phrase. I build with a narrow plan of just completing the word and never look beyond. Starting with objectives has really opened my eyes to how I have approached a “build” in the past. Moving forward “objectives” will be the foundation from which I start.

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.

CUSTOM FONTS

THE3REE — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:39:34 +0000

I am in the process of developing several custom fonts that will be for sale in THE3REE shop soon. My desire and focus is to build fonts that have more of a “designed” or “custom” feel to them. Too often when I am in the process of designing for clients I find myself moving far past customizing fonts in my library and fully creating original type sets check here. This led me to the conclusion that if I needed more custom lettering then so does every other designer out there. As I develop these font packages I will soon be adding more hand lettering styled fonts to the bunch. Stay tuned!

Still a TON to do

THE3REE — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 01:55:28 +0000

I still have a ton of work to do on the site. I am working on my project management interface, THE3 shop, all of my social networking sites and a ton of other behind the scenes stuff (for sale items and some client work). I am honestly excited to watch it all come together. For now here’s the latest fonts that will be part of the shop. I am attempting to create fonts for designers who want more of a “custom” or “modified” feel to their graphics rather than just the same old type!
