JULY SKETCHBOOK PICS 2006

So it's about time that I made another post. Apologies to all, I had some technical difficulties. Expect frequent posts from now on.

I am working on a hoody design, I hope to have them completed by the end of august at the latest. I will post some of my sketches for that really soon.






This is a stamp ID that I am working on. I'm excited to get it finished to show off the finished product.

MAY SKETCHBOOK PICS 2006

I think of a sketch book as my paper brain, everything goes in. For me it is a really honest representation of struggling through the beginning stages of my ideas.
I am going to try and post in the sketchbook section at least twice a week, so check back often.

Rumors Skate Deck Drawings

Rumors Skate and Snow approached me to design a skateboard deck for their shop. There was a fairly tight time schedule, but I was able to develop a few different ideas for the shop to choose from. In the end the Vamp Sketch was selected, I developed it further and it went to print.




"Kong Deck Sketch from Sketch Book"
Ink, Pencil Crayon and Marker on paper
8"x11"
Notes: A quick sketch with a focus on motion, colour and contrast.



"Rumors ID Type"
Graphite and Pencil Crayon on Tracing Paper
aprox 8"x11"
Notes: This is a type that I was working on to accompany the War Worlds Image if it was selected. I will post a cleaned up version on soon. This may evolve into a T-shirt design.



"War Worlds Deck Sketch"
Pen and Ink, Acrylic Ink, and Pencil Crayon on Illustration Board
9"x14"
Notes: This is the sketch that I was most pleased with. I believe this kind of approach could be quite successful applied to another application.

Notes: Super rough to address layout and colour.



"Vamp Deck-Cleaned and Inked"
Pen and Ink on Illustration Board
