Day 30: EOD

I spent a little more time on the EOD design tonight. I think the arrangement is working. Threw some color in just to settle it down a bit. Don't take the color choices too seriously yet.

DAY 29: Shhhhh....

Doing some more work on my top secret brand idea.....shhhhh.

Day 28: EOD rework

Per request of my buddy, I have axed the wings. Today I spent some time reworking the banner and putting more emphasis on the lightning bolts.

Day 27

I am back on the EOD design and I’m making some great progress. I think I finally have the black line work done. I am currently playing around with some “simplistic” shading techniques suggested by my friend Max Grundy. I must say, I think I like it.

Day 26: Artist Highlight

This weeks’ “artist highlight” is Paul Richardson from the UK. He’s more of a mastermind and business man than artist as he has another guy by the name of Si Mitchell do the art work. I just recently met him online and have been asking him a ton of questions. He has a cool product line coming out next week on February 1^st. I asked if I could do an “artist” highlight and he was more than happy to provide me with this little tidbit.

"If you like breakfast, limited edition clothing or t-shirts packaged in juice cartons then TBCLUB is the clothing brand for you!

TBCLUB (The Breakfast Club) is a UK based, limited edition, breakfast themed clothing brand with a difference. The brand is run by Paul Richardson and Si Mitchell who have a mutual dream to see clothing packaged in food boxes! A lot of thought, effort and time is put in to every aspect of the clothing brand. They do all the design work and screen printing themselves by hand and then package the items in to custom made food themed packets which relate to the design. All t-shirts sold are issued with a collectable recipe card, customer loyalty is then rewarded by issuing free gifts when specific recipe cards have been obtained.

Every item produced is limited to a specific quantity (such as 25 or 50), once it has sold out it will not be printed again. So, what are you waiting for? Head over to www.tbclub.co.uk now and join the club!"

Day 25: Brainstorming

Tonight was all about brainstorming. I have this great idea for a product line….I think. I don’t want to give too much information away, but it’s going to be a ton of fun. So keep looking for hints and hopefully we can start moving in the T-shirt direction before too long here.

Day 24: Back to the Vault

Unfortunately work is calling again tonight, so once again, I am digging into the archive. This was done around the same time as the one I posted Monday. However, unlike Monday’s, this one was mostly original. I say mostly because I did look at resources for how to do the water droplets and I think I loosed a mushroom or two. This was also created using colored pencil which has always been one of my favorite mediums to work with.
