NEW BLOG

2009-11-11T11:49:00.001-08:00

I've decided to move my blog to my website rather than having it as a separate blogspot page. I might still update this periodically. Most new stuff will probably only be posted to the new blog though. You can view the new blog by going to my website.

The Great Turkey Chase

2009-10-29T14:08:00.000-07:00

I just did the poster for the second annual Burlington Great Turkey Chase. I'll post pics of the spoke cards, maps, etc. after the event.

Event info:

The Great Turkey Chase, part 2! will be a food drive and bike race. Registration will be free, but people need to bring around $15 to buy food along the way. Each of the checkpoints is a grocery store, and there will be a shopping list instead of a standard race manifest. Receipts will prove you made it to all the checkpoints, and since most receipts are time stamped, we can make sure everybody played fair. All the food will go to a local food bank when the race is done, just in time for Thankgiving!

Mod in Snowboard Magazine

2009-10-15T14:09:00.000-07:00

This is a little late, but the Rome Mod won a "Platinum Pick" award in this year's Snowboard Magazine Buyers Guide. Kinda cool...

Glas Apparel Artist Profile

2009-09-30T11:04:00.000-07:00

I've done a couple of tee and cap designs for Glas Apparel. They just featured me in the contributing artist section of their website.

New shirt for Burlington bike club, Skidmore Academy... and by "club" I mean "a few random people that I ride bikes with"...
Bottom: The screen exposing in the back of the apartment. Pretty ghetto setup...

Rome Addictive Collection on Hypebeast

2009-02-03T07:05:00.001-08:00

Hypebeast had a post about the 2010 Rome SDS Addictive Collection. My board is the one with the Zombie on it.

Check it out at http://hypebeast.com/2009/01/rome-sds-addictive-collection/

new tees

2009-01-15T16:11:00.000-08:00

Here are two new tees. The first one I actually did a few months ago. It's partially printed with glow in the dark ink. The second one is much more recent. I wanted to experiment with fading two ink colors together in one screen.

Fuel Propaganda Shirt

2008-10-31T05:40:00.000-07:00

I've been meaning to post this for a while but never got around to it. New tee from Fuel Clothing.

Zombie Elvis

2008-10-08T09:01:00.001-07:00

I just got my hands on some glow-in-the-dark screen printing ink. I've also been pretty into drawing zombies lately, so I figured the two went together pretty well.

skate deck

2008-09-08T06:22:00.000-07:00

A new skate deck that I worked on last weekend...

Haulin' Ass

2008-09-08T06:20:00.001-07:00

I'm a little behind on this one... This was the tshirt that I designed for the Rome SDS summer sales meeting 2008.

Under The Influence Poster

2008-08-25T09:43:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't posted anything for a while. This summers been crazy... This is the poster that I made for the dual premiere of the Bluebird Movie and No Correct Way (the new Rome movie)

New Shirts

2008-05-27T09:36:00.000-07:00

Two tshirts that I silkscreened fairly recently.

B.Dolan Website

2008-04-14T08:00:00.001-07:00

Musician/spoken word artist, Bernard Dolan's new website. I worked with him to design the graphics and layout for the site to tie in with his new album.
Check it out at http://bdolan.net.

Scissors

2008-04-09T10:35:00.001-07:00

My newest screened project. Two color silkscreen on polkadotted hoodie

Spring Break Shred

2008-03-31T08:28:00.000-07:00

A quick movie that I put together of footage that my brother and I shot over his spring break. For one reason or another, we only got to film for 5 days of the break

arm stripes

2008-03-28T07:59:00.000-07:00

A shirt that I just made. The idea was to have something that resembled a striped pattern from a distance, but that became something else when viewed closer.

Robot Rampage Tee

2008-03-23T19:24:00.000-07:00

A new shirt that I recently made for my brother. He's usually a big fan of robots and/or rampages, so I think it went over well...

Snowboard Movie

2008-02-18T08:52:00.000-08:00

A short snowboard movie that I put together of old footage that I had. I haven't had a chance to film any newer footage, so none of this is from this season.

More Stripes

2008-01-30T07:53:00.000-08:00

Graphite, acrylic, and paint marker on gessoed illustration board. Just experimenting with the contrast between rendered volumes and flat patterns.

Stripes deck

2008-01-28T07:19:00.000-08:00

A new skate deck that I've been working on. Acrylic and graphite. I'm not sure if it's done yet. Originally I was going to add text with "indelible" somewhere, but now I'm not sure.

Board Graphics in Action

2008-01-02T13:14:00.000-08:00

This is my current desktop wallpaper. A photo of my brother rolling a backflip on his newly painted deck.

Snowboards

2007-12-29T07:51:00.000-08:00

My brother and I were getting tired of our old snowboard graphics, so I redid both of them.

Christmas Cookie

2007-12-28T08:03:00.000-08:00

INDELIBLE

2007-12-26T08:29:00.000-08:00

INDELIBLE is my newest project. It's basically a label that I will be using on tshirts, skate decks, etc. Eventually, I'm hoping to make a website for the project and potentially offer some of the designs for sale if there seems like there is an interest for them.

These are the first batch of tshirt designs that I've done under the label. I was waiting to post them to the blog until after christmas, since all of them were gifts to various people...

Weather

2007-11-28T08:46:00.000-08:00

Some people just like to complain.

New COEX posters

2007-11-08T19:51:00.000-08:00

Here are the other two posters for my submission to the "smart design" themed poster show that SCAD will be bringing to the COEX convention this fall/winter.

These posters continue the theme of the first poster, visually exploring overused graphic devices.

One of them comments on the cliche of "thinking outside of the box", while the other one takes on the use of a puzzle piece as a symbol for the solution to a problem.

tshirts

2007-10-29T19:30:00.000-07:00

I'm silkscreening tshirts as part of my self promo for my portfolio class. I've narrowed it down to these three designs, but I'm not sure which one to go with.

Business card silkscreen

2007-10-27T21:01:00.001-07:00

I'm attempting to silkscreen my own business cards. I'm not sure whether I"ll be able to get enough detail in the text for the cards to be usable. We'll see...

Kids These Days update

2007-10-17T11:31:00.000-07:00

Here are some photos that a friend took of my final posters at the Kids These Days show. As you can see, I abandoned the colored backgrounds that were in my originals. This was because we decided that everyone's characters should be on a white background to keep them consistent.

A Beautiful Burden CD Package

2007-10-15T18:30:00.001-07:00

This is a cd package that I recently made for my portfolio.

A Beautiful Burden is my friends new band. As far as I know, they don't have enough songs yet for an album, so this is kind of a hypothetical package.

Visually, the package is meant to be somewhat of a deconstruction of 30's gangster/murder/film noir movies. The illustrations all depict elements common to these genres such as tommy guns, femme fatale figures, and violin cases.

Each illustration is designed to only use two colors so that the could serve double time as graphics for silkscreened tshirts.

COEX rough

2007-10-13T10:46:00.000-07:00

The theme for SCAD's poster show for COEX (Design College Expo) is "Smart Design". Basically we just have to make 11 x 17 posters with our interpretations of what "smart design" is.

This is a rough version of what I have so far.

I'm hoping that the concept makes sense to people.

The idea is that a lightbulb is an obvious/stereotypical depiction of an idea. Therefore, by smashing the lightbulb, the obvious idea is avoided.

Fuel Photos

2007-10-10T14:48:00.001-07:00

I just got some photos of some of my actual designs on some of Fuel's models. Here are two of them.

Fuel Clothing Designs

2007-10-08T12:59:00.000-07:00

Earlier this summer I did some designs for Fuel Clothing. I just found out that a bunch of stuff came out with my graphics.

you can see them by clicking HERE

or by going to www.fuelclothing.com then clicking on "new product"

The "Distressed America" and "Skully Flame" designs were mine.

Some of the colors and placements are a little different from my original designs, but needless to say, I'm pretty excited...

Kids These Days

2007-09-29T12:39:00.001-07:00

These are rough versions of the characters for the "Kids These Days" show. I'm not super excited about the name of the show since not all of our characters are necessarily kids. I guess I'm a little shaky on the intended meaning of the title.

octopus bath

2007-08-02T20:09:00.000-07:00

A quick sketch that I did the other day. I'd like to use it for something, but I'm not sure what...

silkscreened deck

2007-07-25T20:12:00.000-07:00

This is actually an older deck. I made it this spring to experiment with silkscreening on skate decks. I think it still looks pretty cool despite the fact that I really just randomly printed on it a bunch of times for practice.

BFG Deck

2007-07-25T19:56:00.000-07:00

This is the deck that i painted for the skate deck gallery at BFG. I had a hard time deciding on what do do for my deck, but in the end chose this one.

The photo's a little blurry...
