Go get em'

Here is a T-shirt I designed for HipHopDX. This was a great opportunity to work with some really cool guys, the art director of this project is a trend setter and to have some of my work connected to him is a privilege. I got paid to do some hip hop related work! Nice. I really like the way these t-shirts came out. I got my shirt, go get yours. Click on the link above.

Comic Cruise

I wanted to show the process on how a illustration comes to life. The piece below is what the direction that the art director wanted to go. It was intended for a comic cruise during Comicon. Its a dark piece but it turned out to be a great piece.

The illustration below is my first go at it with colors. I lightly laid it out and I intentionally did not built up. I wanted to show the art director its potential, object placement. Its a light piece, this is what I would imagine a boat cruise to look like.

This is the sketch, I tried to get it as tight as I could. I do not like sending rough sketches to art directors, it lowers the back and forth changes.

I like to give as much variations to directors as I can. I like to attack angles, placement and size variations. The more the better especially since its pencil and it doesn't take long to redo.

Overall this was a great assignment. Its awesome how we all meet really great and cool people in our journey. The art director is a cool guy but now I even consider him a friend.
