One mans trash is another mans gold…

So I spent part of my day today cleaning out our garage that has been dirt filled, dusty and chalk full of spider webs and other fun things.

When we first moved into our house the previous tenants left alot of trash here and we had the lucky job of getting rid of it. There were a few things in the garage (that smells like old socks and a dirty grocery store) that never made it to the dump because I didnt feel like making more than one trip. Needless to say and to stop with the jabber. I took some spray paint and painted over an old table that had “JEFF + BROOKLYN” poorly carved in the surface and then took my one of my trusty Molotow markers and doodled on it. It was a fun 5 minutes and we will most likely use it somewhere in the house. Take a gander yourself….

I am working on a few projects right now that I am excited about. My poster from a few posts back has been pushed off for a while to do some other things and to take a break from all the thinking it was making me do.

I also did a design for Chiodos a few weeks agao that I forgot to slap up here. I was pretty rushed with this design but I feel pretty good about the overall outcome considering the time frame I had. I could have done better though, but thats what we all say.

This weekend I worked on a project for my friends Dignan from Texas. They wanted a poster to promote themselves at Cornerstone Festival at the end of this month. I hand drew this design with microns, pencil and brush pens. Its over all size is 11×17 but the orignial drawing is 18×12. I had a little help from my partner in crime, who helped me out with the color treatment and some touch up. Over all I am very satisfied with the way it turned out and I am looking forward to doing more illustration work in the near future.

I think im going to start doing a weekly thing where I post a design that Im really into and one that im not so much into. Just a small attempt to strike conversation and contraversy amongst the new people that visit my blog world.

Enjoy your week friends!

I have been way to busy to make any kind of update and I finally have a chance.

Ive been working on alot of new techniques and messing around with different materials. I bought some new brush pens which I am really liking. Hopefully by the end of this month I will have some big projects done and I will take some pictures to put up.

This is a drawing I did tonight real quick with microns in my sketch pad. Im sure it will get used for something once its finished. I had to take a picture, because my scanner isnt big enough so the quality isnt that great.

Enjoy!

So last week I started working on a 18″ x 24″ poster. It will all be hand drawn and ill either use water color or acrylics or maybe a little of both. I am currently drawing all of my ideas up for the poster. Its going to be a scene with a lot of different characters in it. It will more than likely be a large city scape. Here is one of the characters that I did a quick draw up of a few days ago.

I’m hoping to have the poster done in a few weeks, but time is not a very good friend to me most of the time so we will see what happens.

I’m planning on doing some silk screen projects in a month or so, just to experiment with something different for once. I also am working on a giant piece that is made of clear 1/4″ acrylic and will have colored vinyl applied to front surface and possibly have some sort of back lighting. I figured I would take advantage of the resources I have gained with my new job and try and make some cool stuff. Including some over sized vinyl toys.

Hopefully I am going to be doing an art show with some friends of mine sometime this summer but I post something about it when or if it does happen.

Here is a water color experiment I recently did. This was drawn with Micron Pens and on 8.5″ x 14″ Matte Card Stock. I used generic water color paint. Ive been messing around with different types of paints and mediums lately. Ive slowly learning that painting is definitely something that takes patience. You should go check out my friend Trey. He makes cool art too.
