This is my new design for Woot's "Faster, Higher, Stronger" theme. He had to save up his ink for a while, but it was worth it. Hope you like it!

This is called Rabbit Hunting and it placed 21st in the derby.

The Class of 2009 Collaborashirt

This Lemur was my character for Woot's 2009 Collaborashirt that was printed as one of the 50 guests to the new years party. He's on the right side on the second row from the bottom.

Events in 2009 Illustrated

The new theme for Shirt.Woot is "Events of 2009 Illustrated."
I had a hard time thinking of any good ideas on this one, but this is what I got:

"Eclipse"

On July 22, 2009 the longest solar eclipse during the 21st century took place. I came up with a more abstract interpretation of the eclipse image.



"The Bully"

It was reported that the type of bird that caused US Airways Flight 1549 to crash land in the Hudson River on January 15 were a migratory Canadian geese. After the rest of the geese heard the news they gained a new found fear of engines protruding from airplane wings which never seemed to be threatening before. Some geese use this to bully others. The audacity.

Color Separation

In response to a comment on Woot, here is how I separate colors for the print ready file. I'm sure there are far, far better ways of doing it, but this has worked for me so far.

In photoshop I usually end up merging all the layers together.

Then I create a new layer for each color I need and grab the Paint Bucket tool with about 10-15 Tolerance and the All Layers box checked. Next I color pick each color and fill with the bucket into each new layer (the All layers box will allow the new layer to be filled with the selected color based on the color on the original design that you click on). Clicking the bucket tool twice on the same color pushes the color out a few pixels, as does increasing the Tolerance.

Again, this way is far from perfect, can’t handle extremely sharp angles, and takes some finagling on complex designs, but it’s what I’m used to and if anyone knows a better way I would be glad to learn.

I hope this is what you were asking. Photoshop is all I have ever used so I have no idea about any other software.

Here's my new design for Woot called "Destructive Frolic."

Saturday, November 28, 2009

This is what happens if you are forced to draw a self portrait showing two aspects of yourself.
Basically, it's the kinda quiet and closed off side that many people see, and the inner working controlled chaos inside my head.

It's pastel, not my favorite, but kinda fun once in a while. I've never rinsed off my hands so many times in one day...no...i don't think i have.

This is my new design for Woot called "Inspired By O Christmas Tree"

When all you can do is survey the world from the ground, you have to celebrate Christmas the only way possible...by decorating a shadow tree. To bad you have to keep shifting your decorations as the shadow tree slowly moves. But I guess the upside is the fact that you can decorate all the land at night!

You can vote for it here.

Sorry, this is kinda random, but I thought I would share a stop motion video I made for a class.
It's basically a story about my sketchbook and it's abilities in a dream. It features music by Owl City by whom all the music rights are owned.

It's called "The Window" and I was inspired by this awesome shirt from DBH.
I finally put it up on Threadless because no themes ever fit it on woot.

My design on Woot for the theme Sun. Now I'm just hoping it's not rejected because the halftone is too small to print. If you would like to vote, click HERE (you have to have made a purchase on woot before).
