2013 Work + Sketchbook

This year I've been able to work on a few fun projects. As with a lot of projects though, some can't be shared. I was able to help out doing some non-profit work for the Kansas City Quills and redesign their logo and put a postcard together for an event earlier this year.

It isn't often that I get to do t-shirt designs, but Thunderbeard apparel provided me with a quirky opportunity back in May. Plus, it was my first real time drawing men's hair/facial hair.

In between freelance work, I've managed to get more personal work done. Unfortunately for my blog, Instagram is a much faster way of sharing these pieces (without having to worry about scanning and editing). I tend to post immediately after I finish, so check out my profile for a more up-to-date view of my creative happenings.

I need to learn how to hold things straight, eh? Best of the shots though.

Side Project : Cool Calm Pete

Hello, hello.

This marks the first side project of the semester. My music branding teacher proposed an extra credit idea the first day of class about wearing band t-shirts everyday of class for the entire semester. We have yet to know what the "prize" is, but the rules are as follows:

1) You may wear a shirt no more than twice.
2) If you'd like to wear it more than twice, then it has to be the same shirt for the rest of the semester (no washing).
3) You are free to make your own shirts.

Here is the first of 4 shirt ideas put into action.
