new logo for pedale?

Making design for yourself is tough.  A designer will naturally progress in skill and experience changes in taste.  This makes creating a long lasting brand for yourself very difficult.  I  have always found fault in my logo, website, business cards, etc...  Which makes promoting myself impossible; for example, i may have a pocket full of business cards, but i dont like how they look anymore, so they will stay in my pocket.

With that said, i have made a attempt to create a better, hopefully more timeless logo mark for myself.  The pictures above shows what that logo would look like on a potential business card. Any comments would be sincerely considered.

quills sssssshirt

Nathan from Quills Coffee asked me to layout a new shirt for his shop using an illustration from Douglas Miller.  i am happy with how it turned out.  the psychedelic lines, hand written font, and wispy banner all work really well with Douglas's fine illustration of a deadly cobra holding tightly to one of Quills signature in-house red cups.

devotianal art

this illustration emphasizes the weight of Gods word on jeremiah as he shares very difficult/heavy revelations with israel in jeremiah 26.  we too have Gods word through scripture and need to feel the weight of its responsibility; at the same time we need to walk in the freedom of Gods word.  We need not be concerned with death, judgment, or a general fear of people, but seek first to do as God commands(which is ultimately for our good)

brooks ritter t-shirt

brooks ritter released his first album a little less then a year ago; the title of the album is "a horse fell lame".  the album seeks to express the incomparable God of scripture with a weak insufficient self.  As a response to the nature of the album, i decided to create an image that identified everyone(brooks ritter included) as "lame".

the image is off to print and will be for sale at his october 29th show with Sarah Watkins.
