dressed in value logo design

my friend and designer ricky irvine, commissioned me to design the logo for his company "dressed in value".  ricky desires the attributes of a lion: bold, courageous, kingly, and digesting raw flesh.  but he is also a self-proclaimed  timid person, so... this image attempts to convey these contrasting emotions, all the while establishing an identifiable mark.

i enjoyed making it.

my excitement and my favorite shirt

i am working on a cd package design for my friend Andrew Stonestreet.  his new CD is great, and i just sent him the work that i have done over the last couple of days.  i hope he is as excited about what i sent him as i am... i think they look great.  i will post the artwork when its finished.

this t-shirt was designed by CSDIV.  a friend/encourager of mine.  Stanley(csdiv) is one of the many influential designers represented in my work.  we printed these shirts on brown T's about 2 years ago... i didnt like the shirt choice... so i snagged an extra white T, and printed one for myself.  i like it alot.

on your left cycles

this is a proposed tshirt design for on your left cycles.  a small, biker owned, extremally down to earth bike shop in louisville.  i designed their logo, which is sampled in the t-shirt design.

turkey hunting

i have never killed something in my life...  it is a totally bizarre and surreal thing.

this past weekend my brother and i spent time at cabin, walking around with shotguns, looking for turkeys.  i was successful.  after killing it, i had to take it apart and put it on ice.  i have a renewed appreciation for meat...  death in any form shouldn't be taken lightly, and i intend to savor the meal in which i eat that turkey.

also, i have recieved a few jobs recently... i have been very distracted from design in the past two months... but am working to make more things in the immediate future.  so for you that are interested, i should be updating my blog more often.
