Sun Mountain

This is a piece that I made a while ago, which will tentatively be used for a pal's album artwork, but for now I just had it printed on canvas. 

VietZom Grrl

I've been working on this one for a long time. I think I'm finally satisfied with the final product:

Close-up

It went through a million iterations. Here's some pictures to convey (part of) my process:

Layers: Not just for Adobe

Trying to find a good color scheme.

Everybody 9

 

The time has arrived for another one of my bi-annual mix cds: Summer Time.

Citation of references for inspiration of cover design: Summer time, warmth, frisbees.

Limited, hand-numbered run of 30.

Get one for yourself to see the TOTALLY KILLER tracklist!

Melancholia

I learned myself a new trick! In order to get the hang of it, I decided to make a mock-movie poster. I've seen the likes of Graphic Design giants such as Olly Moss and Tomer Hanuka do their takes on movie posters (Yes, I chose the same movie as Tomer but what can I say, it's an awesome movie!) to which I could never dream of comparing, but in spite of that I decided to do my own modest little version of one.

Really minimal and it kind of gives it a sci-fi vibe, but it was a quick little project.

Uptown Art Fair 2012

Hello, it's me. It's been a while, hasn't it? Have you been thinking of me, like I've been thinking of you? Fond memories... Passion filled rendezvous... Heart-wrenching goodbyes...

Woah woah woah, got a little side tracked. Anyways, I came up with a submission for the Uptown [Minneapolis] Art Fair t-shirts this year. It's simple, but I wanted to appeal to a wide demographic. Hopefully I win! But no hard feelings if I don't, I had fun making it.

The font was designed by Måns Grebäck, and I added the reflection-type flourishes.

A quick mock-up.

Handwritten Notes

  I don't know.

I always get these strings of words stuck in my head and I feel like they should be manifested somehow. "Handwritten Notes" is one of those said strings.

Maybe someday if I start a correspondence with someone after I'm famous, I can make this a cover of a short book or something. Or something.

Sophia

I took this photo of my friend, Sophia, a long time ago in a friend's studio complex. I decided to use it as design exercise today. I love portrait style photos.

Better Early Than Late

As stated in my previous post, a lot of the images I make go through a long process of changes before the final product. Sometimes they are minor changes. Sometimes they are major. This is an example of the latter.

For Maggie, from Jeff.

Update:

How fitting that I'd come up with yet another iteration. I'll stop after this, I promise;

"Something About Beauty"

Revision

Cyclops

This is an illustration I made just for fun. I need to keep designing or I'll die -- like a shark -- even though I'm in the middle of moving into a new place. Without further ado;

Destroy Rebuild

When you have no preconceived notions about how something should turn out, it's hard to tether yourself from completely going in all sorts of directions. This, I suppose, would be in exercise in going said directions [all sorts.]

 Got a little crazy with the last one. Click to see larger images!

Americant Dream

A design that I was playing around with; 

Which may or may not be manifested more tangibly as a screen printed tee in a line that I'm starting soon. Keep your eyes peeled for more on that to come!

The wonderfully grimy display font beneath Bebas is called Nightbird, just FYI.
