VOID Magazine – T-shirt
Surf, skate, music, fishing & eateries… VOID magazine covers it all, in North Florida. I recently ran in to Tye & Aaron (founders of V.M.) in the line-up… though none of us had worked together before, the conversation had come up several times, and seemed like something we were all interested in. So between sets of thigh-high summer mush, we started kicking around the possibility of doing some shirt designs for VOID. I was so stoked on the idea, I couldn’t wait to start sketching. It wasn’t long before before I had a rough line drawing for what you see above. I’m a huge fan of anything detailed/intricate, and given V.M.’s wide rage of coverage in NorFl, an “everything shirt” seemed like a natural fit…
If you haven’t already, check out the new issue of VOID in stores now, & don’t forget to show some V.M. love by picking up one of these crispy fresh tees’, available on their site.

Native Sun – Tummy Friends Tee
Here’s a fun tee-shirt project I worked on a while back at The Robin Shepherd Group for Native Sun Natural Foods Market. The goal was to create a few shirt designs for their staff that would reflect the friendly atmosphere of Native Sun as well as convey the benifits of choosing natural foods. Though the shirt was never produced, it was still a heap-ton of fun to work on… hope you enjoy!

Halftonedef – Type Treatment
A while back I started messing around with some business card designs for Halftone Def Studios… I had a loose idea of a looping type treament in my head for the front of the cards, but nothing sketched out & no formal plan attack. About half way through process I noticed the shapes of the letters looking very worm like & decided to expolre that direction. The resullt is what you see above. I’m pretty sure this won’t be making it on to business cards, but there is talk of T-shirts & possibly skateboards in the works. I’m sure I’ll eventually make it back around to my original goal, but for now I’ll settle for an interesting example of where designs will wonder when there are loose goals & no deadlines. … hope you enjoy!
Whaleface – Tee

Whaleface Tee
Here’s a tee design I just finished up for the band, Whaleface. The melodic hardcore rockers are setting up for a mini tour of north Florida & will no doubt make their way through the greater southeast region of the U.S later this year. But before they set out to conquer the music scene they needed a couple of tees to peddle at their shows to help pay for gas, beer, peanutbutter & Twizzlers. If at any point today you’re thinking about grabbing a cup of joe or Red Bull to wake you up from your weekend weariness, I highly reccomend givning Whaleface a listen instead, for a quick jolt of jarring raw energy. First show kicks off this Thursday, August 13th at the LandShark in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
