Clover Illustration

Festive St. P logo for Active
So I found this tutorial, over on vectips, on how to make a clover in Illustrator, came out pretty cool. Then I took the clover and mated it with the active logo, check activerideshop.com on Tuesday, March 17th to see it in action!

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.

Skate Sign Mock up
I made this sign for our parking lot here at active, but its not so much the sign I'm excited about, as it is the gloss. I was just experimenting in photoshop trying to make this thing look shiny. eh? Thanks for sharing. Anyway, I think I might have figured it out, I'm working on the VMPR Myspace page and trying to make it really shiny too. I'll post that up tomorrow.
A while ago I was asked if I could draw, and then asked to design some tattoos in the vein of sailor Jerry. This is what I came up with. Yeah more stuff for Active, it is where I work after all.
