I make things..

This is probably the first summer for as long as I can remember where I haven't been working full-time - which is good cause I'm staying more focused and its forced me to use my art-powers to make things that will generate money so I can drink beers and run around like an idiot. The stuff below is really recent - TONS more to come. Some VERY exciting and slightly more serious projects on the go right now too - coming soon.

airbrushed t-shirt.
custom sneakers - bebop/rocksteady
I did these guys awhile back - thought I'd share them anyways.

Kinda funny...

About 2 years ago I entered an illustration into a contest at work that would be published into some sort of colouring book if I won - incidentally, I won and was chosen to appear in said book. Now, I had actually forgotten all about the whole thing until the other day when there was a package waiting for me in the office with a few copies of the actual books. The quality of the book isn't all that great but seeing an illustration that you've created in print is always a bit exciting just the same. Upon thumbing through the book I had to have a bit of a laugh - taking account of yet another real world lesson learned! Probably wouldn't do anything like this again - but this time around we're doin' it for the kids! Oh yeeeah!

Breezin'..

Lately I've been keeping really busy with my few summer courses and even more summer-type activities to care much about posting anything on here. I haven't got a case of the 'lazy's' yet though - there's a lot going on that I've been working on that I will eventually make a point of posting up later on. Right now I'm really excited about drawing from life and doing those types of studies - just cant get enough of it! Here are some of those drawings below -


In other news, I've been asked to take on a few really great jobs that I'm REALLY excited about - more on this later as the bugs are worked out!! Oh and check this sweet bike I found in the garbage the other day!

One last thing! - I'm starting to do airbrush t-shirts again just to make some summer loot and have fun doing it - so if you're a person reading or looking at this blog and you're interested in having a custom one made for you by me (and you've read this far down the page) then please contact me on here for pricing and details!!
