Good Life Website

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Today we launched the new website for Good Life Tattoos & Piercings. Steve-bear and I collaborated to bring a full website, complete with artist portfolios, and a complete back-end CMS system, so the artists can update their portfolios whenever they want. These guys are definitely one of the best shops in Ohio, so be sure to check out their stuff.

New Arrah and the Ferns Shirt

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Here’s a new shirt I just sent out for Arrah and the Ferns, to be sold on their upcoming tour, in support of their new record. I’ve been drawing a lot more lately, a lot of sketchbook doodling. So for this shirt I made some hand-drawn type, and little extra hand-made bits. I really appreciate the use of non-computer generated art within the graphic design medium; I think that’s a key characteristic of my work. That, and it’s just nice to step away from the computer for a while.

Gifts From Enola LP’s

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

I just got these LP’s in the mail via the label, and the tour copies from the band when they passed through town last week. And i wanted to post the details up here, to show how well Pirates Press did of manufacturing these records. Specs include: Spot Color printed Poly Jacket, Die-Cut Outer Sleeve, Full-color Inside Sleeve, and three different colors of vinyl (all shown below).

Good Life (part 2)

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Meet Rickshaw Willie. I mentioned a few months ago about doing some new stuff for Good Life Tattoos & Piercings. Well, if this isn’t guerilla advertising, then I don’t know what is. Willie’s bike is a moving billboard for the shop, sporting some 4 foot banners that I designed to fit his custom-built rack. Additionally, below, Jesse just got in his new business cards, which I designed to symmetrically match Brian’s cards that I did a few weeks ago. Next up will be a full website.

The Attending

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

My long time friend Corey is starting up a new band. After sitting on a set of songs for quite some time, he’s ready to dive back into the music biz. His new music is under the name The Attending, and this shirt is the first piece in a line of work for my old friend.
