My good friend Jon (bowmertz) Is having a little Oktoberfest shindig this next weekend, to share some of his delicious home brewed beers, always a great time, I'm really looking forward to it. So he asked me to make up a shirt design for the event, the only creative suggestions he had were "Bavarian Checks", so I put them in the shield, the above is the finished project.
In order to create this, I asked my lovely wife amber to draw an eagle holding a shield (below). Then I traced it in illustrator, and added a few embellishments and text, viola! instant tee design. It took her 5 minutes to draw, and then myself a couple of hours to complete the rest. Go team go.
These are pretty much the same style I've been using for a bit, but as I mentioned before, I just want to keep a diary of my work, so here it is, more work. I'm working on a bad ass flash, rocktober, lightning image, hopefully that will be done next week and I can put that up.
I thought I would put these up because to give this blog some new flavor. Just finished them yesterday. If your interested in the offers go to activerideshop.com and help keep me employed.
So Summer is over, It feels like its time to go back to school, even though its been quite some time since I've been out. My birthday is this Sunday. I always remember dreading it and looking forward to it at the same time, just because school was nearing. Ahh the good old days. Sitting around all summer, jumping on the trampoline, skating, playing music, climbing mountains, that was so much fun. Amber and I bought bikes last night with some of our wedding money, so I'm looking forward to reliving my child hood a bit, riding around on those. Can't wait to go for a ride tonight! I'll probably get one of those "If you can read this, the Bitch fell off" shirts, just to be more bad ass.
I added a little twitter thingy over there –> so now I can have my micro blog with my mega blog Yeah! I’ve been making all kinds of VMPR designs, but I don’t want to post them until they are printed, because I know how t-shirt guys are. Art thieves! Even if it is only Jeff and Andy who look at this, someone else might roll by and crook on my thoughts. I just got all gangster slang.
Oh and Amber and I just got back from our honeymoon so I’ll probably post a few of the photos on here in a day or two, we got some really great shots from our adventures.
