bicycle times finish?

here's where i ended up. not sure yet if they want any revision on it.

bicycle times cover progress.

i've been fortunate enough to be creating a cover for pittsburgh based magazine bicycle times. a good friend of mine that i used to work with is now the art director of the magazine and i have been working with him to get this where they need it to be. he basically left the theme up to me and i'm not quite sure why i decided to go in this direction, but it makes sense to me i guess. i like riding and it's my first cover gig, so i'm just running with that. i believe this is distributed out and about most of the world, so that's interesting. here's where i'm at thus far, i wouldn't doubt some colors being adjusted , but i'll probably keep mostly with what i have going on. the second version with the jagged background lines was nixed, which was a bummer. until then.

tee.

printed off a few shirts of a design that i threw together some time ago. thought that these would be perfect for sassy pre-teens, just like the figure modeling this one here (my sister). i'm thinking of setting up an online shop of sorts to sell these and some other things, but i still have about ten or so of these left, mostly girls cuts.

reworked poster

that last lotus poster didn't completely fly with the band, so i was asked to change some things and since the first show had sold out even before the completion of this thing, they added another date the day after. my own group that i'm involved with has a gig coming up in the next few weeks as well, so i put together a quick flyer for that from some sketches that i had around. bing!

lotus poster.

this is another poster that i recently completed for opus one productions, who represent the well-known electronic/jam band lotus. i wasn't entirely familiar with their music before this, but while i was working on my conceptual ideas for it, i began listening to them and enjoyed what i heard. so here's what happened. the idea of a philly skyline was mentioned to me along with the desire for bright colors.

posters, posters, posters...

here are a few posters that i did for opus one productions, here in pittsburgh. didn't know much about any of these guys, but i did take a liking to medeski, martin & wood. i think these turned out fairly well despite the short time i had to do them up. i'm doing working on a new one now for the band lotus. its for a new years eve show in philly. i was also recently in a group show with some of my co workers at excel sportswear. the turn out was surprisingly well the whole way through and i was fortunate enough to sell a few prints.

some stuff.

these two portraits i did for the online magazine, urchicago.com. they are both to accompany interviews with the artists. they are both quite impressive at what they do in my opinion and i surely do enjoy their music. the adulture piece i did first, but i feel that the mayer hawthorne one has a somewhat better look about it. and then i gots a preview of something i'm working on now of lil' wayne.
