Nothing lasts forever


This is the exact layout I had in mind for this flyer all along.  The bird was drawn in pencil, inked, then painted with watercolors.  The layout was done in Photoshop.


The drawing on the left is the original drawing.  I didn't want to paint on it, just in case I wasn't happy with the job I did, nor would that paper be good for watercolors.  I scanned it and printed it on better paper, made one version that looked terrible, then did another that you see here on the right.  

Static-X, Prong, Davey Suicide, 9Electric, Linework, Nation, Ejaculation Of Serpents show poster

11x17 poster for Static-X, Prong, Davey Suicide, 9Electric, etc., in Huntington, WV.  All the text and Wayne Static himself were drawn by hand, then scanned into Photoshop.  Things were moved a bit, I removed his body (I was never happy with it) and then added the background image.

 Final drawing and band name text before scanning them into the computer.

The beginnings of the drawing.

Flyer patrol

I've been doing a lot of flyers lately.  Some have taken a while, some have not.  


Simple flyer.  I would do a lot more minimalist work if it were fitting for more events.  I love this picture.  I had to mess with the kerning a bit because of the way the font was set up.  


I love Judge Dredd comics.  This is a scan of one of the covers.  I did some color enhancements, layered the background, took out the "DREDD RULES" logo, and changed the text a bit.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is my favorite movie, period.

Existing artwork from a 1945 article, from Mechanix Illustrated, on space exploration.  I had to do a lot of cleaning on it to remove text, even out the borders, and make it look like they were never there.  

Originally a cover from Juice Magazine from back in the 90s.  There was a lot of text to remove.  We needed a quick, punk rock flyer and this is what came out.  

Death Comes Ripping, Part II

This started as a mash-up I made for my Facebook page and it turned into a much bigger thing.  T-shirts, buttons, stickers and posters were made.  A lot of people bought them and here are a few pictures of all of it.


Buttons.

Jewel City Rollergirls roller skate sticker

  

3" sticker design for the Jewel City Rollergirls


I created a ring that was the exact size of the ring on the original wheel, cleaned out all the original text, then altered it to reflect the Jewel City team colors.  After that, I simply added the text and jewels.

I removed the bottom wheel, duplicated one side of the top wheel to give it a bottom, then took the girls out.

Jewel City Rollergirls "Long Live The Jewel City" t-shirt

Straight to the point.  Big print on the front of a tshirt.  I'll have pictures of the actual shirts very soon.

Jewel City Rollergirls unused skull and crossbones

This flyer was made for the Jewel City Rollergirls but it wasn't used because the old coach didn't like the use of skulls.  I was really happy with the way the skull and "crossbones" turned out but not thrilled with the flyer.  It technically wasn't finished since I got the word that it wasn't going to be used.  I drew the skull and crossbones by hand, scanned them into Photoshop and did everything else there.

This is the skull sketch when it was just about finished.

Your eardrums will explode

I run another blog called "Exploding Eardrums" that features music from West Virginia, old and new, rare and mainstream, and this is the logo.  I've been involved with music in WV for years and I realized that there is a lot of material that's slowly becoming impossible to find so it was time that I started putting it all online for free.  By the way, it's all legal to download.
