If "Metal," was a cartoon character what would it look like?

This little guy will be your best bud but, in the pit?...

...NO MERCY!

He won't think twice kicking your teeth in!

Let it be know! I submitted this little guy on Patch Together a site where Vinyl designer toys can be voted into existence. It's kind of like "Threadless" for toys.

I wish I had a little more time to really tighten it up but some times "it is what it is."

FYI "SKUL" is our stock ticker.

I had to spice up a boring Excel document that had a grid of the performances and make it into a poster.

I thought it would be cool to show it like it was a play list from an old cassette tape. My art director dug it.

Here is one of the headphone families I designed. It'll be out some time in 2011. It's inspired by the early Rock Poster Movement. It focuses on the element of visual texture and the bombardment of imagery in society. It's an evolution of one of the lines I did last year with some neon green thrown in the mix.

I was a little bumbed 'cause after I sent it off to production, the poster got cropped funny. I referenced old 1940's tin robot boxes and packaging. I really mucked up this guy to make the poster look ancient.

An old painting I had laying around. Thought I'd put it up in the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll.

I painted on top a photo. Its down at Nobrow in Salt Lake City. When I was a kid my brothers and I turned some of our "crap" baseball cards into "Monster cards!" We'd erase the faces of the player and Draw on top of the existing photo. We'd do our worst turning them into all kinds of colorful monster. Bats became battle axes and Swords skin became green and we even grouped our "Monster Cards" into teams. Those were the days.
I wish I could find one of those cards today. To me they'd be worth more than my Ken Griffy JR rookie card could ever be.

Comic Con VS Mini

2011-07-25T21:48:00.000-07:00

Here's the mini comic I did for Comic Con 2011.

I thought rather than have a biz card a mini comic could work as both.

The Comics is a trifold with six 5"x7"sections.

My friend Derek Hunter (Lobster Lad, Pirate Club) helped me out with the printing.

I Only printed up 100 of em.

I worked on this after work and it took me about a week.

Above: First Version of the Colors.

I switch the back ground color to a red to help my characters standout out.

Also, I rendered them out a little more.

Above: The Pencils

Below: Thumbnail roughs.

Here's where I was seeing how far I could push it. I wanted the cover to be really dynamic with all kinds of action. I tilted the characters and Really covered the title up. I still feel like this has all kinds of energy but I needed more of a standard format.

Because the format of the mini comic would be a distant step from a standard comic, I decided that I better make sure the cover was more recognizable as a comic cover.

So I Gave it the flat upper cover panel like the old comics and more of a standard Branding box

This is the thumbnail I stuck with. It's a little less dynamic but more recognizable as a a comic cover.

All and all it was a fun Challenge and a lot of fun.

Just in case you want to look at a bigger versions the pages. This is the print format.

Batman Beyond

2011-06-08T09:20:00.000-07:00

Oldman- Wayne... Who wouldn't think Batz would end up a feisty old man still in the game, beating people over the head with a cain. He's ancient and weathered but still can KICK SOME A$$. I love it.

McGinnis- very different batman personality. Kind of like Peter Parker always cracking witty jokes.

Ace- Dog super heros...not a fan....however...I think the best carnation of Ace The Bat-Hound is in Batman Beyond. In fact I really like him. Why? Cause he's just a normal dog that hangs around oldman Wayne. No costume(#1 reason dog super heros suck...costumes.) On a occasion he get in the mix and starts biting people but that's only when the fight is brought to his old Geezer of a master.

Love this series. It meshes well with the batman Mythos.

Here is the digital rough I first did for him before I dived into the painting. He came back and said he wanted tentacles with speakers instead of suctions. I liked the arms but gotta comply with the man with the money.

These designs got cut. They're too masculine. back to the Drawing board. I thought the concepts where good but the girls need some thing that makes 'em feel all nice with sugar and spice. Not very many gals want to wear a piece-o-meat on em....(besides lady Gaga of corse)

One thing to note when designing Women's Tees...

be aware that your design should be symmetrical.

Other wise they're boobies will appear lopsided.
