Malicious Intent (WV) t-shirt

The final design, printed.  I wasn't as excited about the font choice but it was exactly what they wanted, so we went with it.  

This is a close-up of the beginning of the inking process.  I drew out the rough design in pencil, inked it in, the scanned it into Photoshop for the addition of the band name.

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 ^^^

Mixtapes on CD from m4as

I used to be part of a group of people that would mail each other mix CDs based on the kind of music they liked.  I sent out three of them (one is listed earlier in this blog.  Here are the other two:

I replaced the 50ft. Woman's head with my friend Sydni's head ( because the CD was for her), recolored it a bit and added texture to make it look more like it was part of the painting.  Then I tried to make the title of the CD look as close to the movie font as I could.

The original poster for "Attack Of The 50ft. Woman".  

I removed all the original text, kept the look of the paper, then added my own text.  The "WJ" simply represents the initials of the person who was getting the CD.

Original WW2 ad for Bell Telephone.

Dead girls can dance

It all started with the girl jumping.  I always thought it was a cute picture.  Then I just haaaad to go and add that skull to her face.  I created the circular design with a little patience and some brushwork in Photoshop.  Since the girl and the skull were a lower resolution, I added a halftone to clean them up a bit, plus I liked how it looked.

I found this skull on the internet the got busy with warp, distort, and skew in Photoshop.

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.
