Hard Times, Awakening The Revenant, Let The Guilty Hang, Nation, Bad Terms, Ancient Shores, Last Level, Station(s), and Last Days Of Sun show poster.

After it was scanned into Photoshop, I colored it and added text.

Inked in and ready to scan.

Still in the process of drawing it by pencil.

Girls make the world go 'round

This is a found image with added text.  I'm really happy with the layout of the text and I've always loved this image.

Nation buttons


The black, red, and white button was completely done in Photoshop while the "banner" button was hand drawn, inked in (seen below), and then scanned into Photoshop for coloring.

Original drawing in pencil at the beginning of the inking process.

Last Level "Defend Cybertron" t-shirt

The final product design.  Hand-drawn, scanned, cleaned up in Photoshop, lettering added in Photoshop.

...traced it out on tracing paper.

I drew Optimus Prime's ion cannon then ^^^

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.

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.

The t-shirt, button, sticker, poster pre-orders - ready to be packed up.

Thanks to Billie for buying 10 of these then taking this amazing picture of her family wearing them.

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.

 The original photo.

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.

Death Comes Ripping

This was just for fun. Misfits skull + WV = ♥
I'd like make t-shirts out of these but I have to figure out a way to do pre-sales first.

The Disappearing Man APPEARS


I like the confined space of a 1" button design.  It has to look good enough to catch the eye but the design has to translate well on the small space and not look cramped.  A little trivia about this first button...  That's Paul Rudd.  


That's a nice looking hat.  You can't tell me it wouldn't look sharp with the right suit.

I love text-based designs.

Jumping hurdles

Here's the finished product.  Do you want to know how I got to this this?  Let's go on a little trip...

First, I saved this picture of them I found online.  Thanks, Erin Caruso.

Next, I cut all the background out of the picture then added the headstock to his guitar and the right side of his right shoe to the image.  I also used a halftone effect on this part of the flyer (not shown here - only in finished product above).

After that, I simply drew some lines with a Sharpie and scanned it into Photoshop.

Lastly, I painted a piece of paper with acrylic paint and scanned it into Photoshop.

After it was all said and done, I pieced it all together and came up with the final version that you see at the top of this post.  TA-DA!
