Slowbucks

The guys in Dip Set (the rap group) were apparently shooting a video on Friday all day. Guess they were all wearing these new "Nebula" sneakers (no clue). Anyway, we got a call at my job seeing if we could produce 5 custom shirts for the shoot, that matched the sneakers. Since I handle their account I was asked to design something for them so I put this together. They wanted more nebula but I insisted that it would flatten the image if there was more, so I chose to have a bit more negative space than they wanted, but I believe it adds dimension to the piece.

This is a 6 color screen print using, purple, blue, magenta, white, black shimmer or black and a black under base. I am very pleased with the end result and they seemed to be to. Hopefully we see this music video soon so I can post it.

Elephant *Update

So, stippling takes forever and I think this may take a bit longer to produce than previously expected. These wings are huge and the small wings were time consuming enough. Regardless, I am proud of the outcome so far. I added a bunch of Alchemy symbols and a sort of border, still have more to elaborate on but it's looking good.

Elephant Head

There is something about the elephant skull that is really strong and ethereal. There are some religious over tones in the image but I didn't want it to be particularly obvious. Still needs more ink, then color, may screen print a few and use the image as the cover for my band Headsnatcher's EP (not decided). Either way this is fun.
