    Mohawk’s Hockey

    Posted in: Fluid, Projects, Screen Printing, T Shirt Designs

    I was presented with a new design request. The customer supplied a rough sketch with an idea for a hockey team mascot.

    Through an initial rough sketching I came up with two layout options for the mascot.

    Sweet Pain Tractor Pull

    Posted in: Fluid, Misc Art, Projects, Screen Printing, T Shirt Designs

    My latest project was a fun one. Cartooning a tractor pull vehicle. Was pretty much given full artistic rights to do what ever I wanted. The only specific instructions given were that the customer wanted the rat fink look without the bulging eyeballs and nasty looking driver.

    First up is the customer supplied photo of their vehicle.



    My first rendering turned out great yet wasn’t cartooney enough for my own likes yet I went ahead and worked up a quick layout just in case.




    This one is the golden one, lol. Fits the cartoon style the customer was looking for.


    Both designs are 100% vector created in CorelDRAW.

    Stags Unleashed 2011

    Posted in: Articles, Fluid, Screen Printing, T Shirt Designs

    I took on a RUSH job Friday afternoon that was needed by end of the day, Monday, for a new client. I sent three proofs Monday morning around 11AM. The client was extremely happy with the proofs and sent them to his client for their proofing and approval. A couple hours later my client replied, saying “they loved #3″. You have to love it when a client is happy with the design and has NO changes or edits. Wish I had more like this one….

    These are the instructions for the job from my client.
    I had a question regarding possible t-shirts for a school event. I’m on the student association at xxxxx University, t shirts for a spirit week event. They would be red shirts, with white font saying “Stags Unleashed 2011″. Under the logo, we were imagining a fire hydrant with 2 leashes attached to it. At the end of one leash is a little dog, sitting nicely as if they were waiting for their owner. The second leash does not have an animal at the end,, as if the animal broke off, or got “unleashed.” Standing nearby the leash would be a muscular, jacked up stag who broke off of his leash.

    Here are my layout submissions

    The design was separated as a 3 color print. White underbase, Black and a Highlight White. I am excited to see the final shirt.

    Art Created in CorelDRAW, separated in CorelDRAW and sent to client for film output in CorelDRAW. I Love it when my clients use CorelDRAW. Feel the love!

    The Shannon Burke Show

    Posted in: Articles, Fluid, Inspiration, T Shirt Designs

    While listening to the Shannon Burke Show tonight on the Bubba Army Radio, radioio.com, there was mention of needing a t shirt design. Just talk amongst the radio guys. I needed a break from the normal day to day artwork and decided to play around with an idea that came to mind. Here are 3 variations of my idea for a t shirt design for The Shannon Burke Show, @TheShannonBurke.



    I was going for more of an updated biker type look yet not too dark.

    Posted in: Fluid, T Shirt Designs

    The show was a success with some very sweet Mustangs. The shirts were a hit and the print came out great. GATSCO did a an awesome job in such a short timeframe. Printed as a 6 color spot print.

    Also was surprised to see an old design I did for the club back in 2005. Ah the memories…..

    Congrats to a successful 2011 show MMJAX!

    Long day today with some serious art. Had to vectorize a couple logos for an event sponsor layout and color separate all within about an hours time in order to get the art approved, separated and to the printer as the event is this weekend. All this plus my normal work load of separations and film output. Ahhh the life and times of a Screen Printing Artist.
