I'm back from my vacation to Disney World in Florida. I got a bunch of photos of me with Roman at 2 of the parks. He came with me to EPCOT and to the Magic Kingdom. Once I get the photos downloaded from the digital photo service we used at the parks I will post a few of them.

#1


This was a quick idea I had for the L3SS challenge. It's not minimal in the make basic shapes kind of way but more in the try to convey the idea with as few details as possible.

#2
This was a random and quick idea I had for the L3SS. I thought that I better just get it out of my brain so I can sleep.

I submitted another 4 words design for the fun of it.

Version 3. Added a lot of extra details and fine tuned the line work. I think this version is done but if you see any outstanding issues or things that just scream to be changed let me know.



Version 2. Updated the interior art by add a bunch of Summer Back Yard fun type items.

Still needs some clean up / work.

What do you think?

4 words: "Jump In Head First" - Version 1


It's time to Slip N' Slide and enjoy the fun of summer, so go ahead and Jump In Head First.

What do you think of the design so far?

Here is the original Sketch:

Version 2 vectors

Sketch


Here is one of my ideas for the GAP challenge. It is a car door with a heart in the upper corner of the window. I feel like I have more work to give the illustration more life but I wanted to share the idea and get some feedback. Titled: "Get In"


Here is the sketch for "Get In"


I have a few others in mind but nothing started to show. I hope to get a few good concepts in for this challenge.

What do you think so far?

I haven't been buying a lot of shirts lately but I think I now own all but 1 of the Zip Pouches for my markers. Threadless needs to print up more Zip Pouches and bags and such. I would also buy a Messenger bag with "Tools of the Trade" on it in a second. Also any of my designs printed on any other product would be great.

Thanks,
B

Here are a few ideas. If these were printed on the Zip Pouches, I'd Buy Them.




Who is with me?

Submitted:


Art concept for a t-shirt design. Title "Slightly Imperfect" which is a play off of those tags on clothing products found at outlet malls and places that sell imperfect clothing that the factories don't want to just trash.

Now with the little blue creatures I'm not sure if the title "Slightly Imperfect" works for it... what should I call it?

Here is how the blue creatures version looks on the tee:


Updated 2-29-2012 and choices: A, B, or C?

A: Shirts only


B: Shirts with mouths


C: Shirts and Blue creatures with new eyes.



UPDATED version 2-28-2012 (click it to view it larger)



Version 1


I'm thinking about adding a Glow layer of some strange creature heads and limbs that are wearing each shirt, but I'm not sure of I can pull it off well.

What do you think?

Here are my 2 "failed attempts" at making creatures for the design. I call them failed because I don't like either. I stink at characters/creatures.

I now present to you my photoshop'd Roman adventure blog. (I'll be posting his entire adventure that I create here in this blog)

ROAD TRIP!


*Ok, maybe letting Roman drive was not a good idea.


I guess it is time to start Hitchhiking.


This couple looks nice. I'll just hop in the back and catch a ride with them. I don't think they will mind.








Maybe Not!


Ok this family seems alright. On with the trip. Let's see some sites!


We stopped for a bite to eat. The Fish was great! Too bad the sign was not edible.


Then it was so awesome... we stopped at one of those Mermaid themed attractions and got to swim with the mermaids.


Met some nice ladies in the city...


...before jumping on a plane to some where warmer.

The airline food was pretty good.

Had an extra long layover in FL so I tagged along with a family I met on the plane for some Fun at Disney.


Just had to get a photo of me with all my Disney friends.


Well that was a fun time. Now back on the plane, get some sleep, and on to my next destination. Not my best moment... I think you caught me drooling.


Finally got to the beach. Now it is time to kick off these flip flops and hit the waves.


Ahhh. Enjoying some time in a hammock at the beach.


What a trip so far! I was a little hungry so I thought I'd try my hand at some fishing for some tropical fish.


After catching nothing all day, I ran into an old travel buddy of mine. T-Gnome


This morning we drove in-land and went white water rafting. It was awesome.


Then I met up with the HELiPRO team for a flight up to the top of an active Volcano. First we had lunch and the sandwich was great.


Seeing the Volcano up close was great until the pilot got a little too close to the action.

Not sure who is going to fly us back. I might have to give it a try.

This doesn't look that hard. I think I got this. Hey look the ocean!


BAM! I'm OK! The landing part is a lot harder than it looks.


Since I was already at the beach I waited around to see the sun set. Met a nice family and we all walked along the beach as the sun set.


Now for a short break from the current adventure to visit a few famous friends and share an image from our adventures together.

Me and Indiana Jones on one of our adventures together. He always gets us into the most precarious situations. RUN INDI, RUN!


My sweet tooth is always satisfied when I stop by my good friend Willy.


It's always good to see my young Jedi friend Luke when I stop by Tatooine.


Hope you enjoyed this little side trip.

Went out to see some of the Mayan Temples today. Then the strangest thing happened. I was abducted by Aliens!


They took me to see a few of their favorite hot spots around the world. We started with some Pyramids in Egypt.


Then we stopped over at Stonehenge where I pretended to be huge in the photo.


We just had to swing by Highway 375 in Nevada to get a photo.


Then they were nice enough to drop me off in NY City to meet Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.


Next thing I remember I was in NY City and I was splashing around in the Fountain out in front of the Radio City Music Hall. Started the day seeing the Mayan Temples and ended the day in NY without any idea how I got here... Weird.


This morning I got up and grabbed a hot dog at a local street corner vendor.


Then I jumped on the subway to get to my next NY sight seeing destination. Oh and I bought a new hat.

I think the group of old ladies were checking me out.

Note to self: Always hold on to your hat when riding on top of those big Tour Buses.


Stopped by the Park and rocked out with the local band that was playing there. I play a mean triangle.


It is never a good idea to ask a random stranger (especially if they have been drinking) to take your picture. They almost always come out blurry.


I just had to meet up with some friends while in NY and have some pizza before flying off to tour Europe.


Met up with some of my Road Trip friends while they were on Vacation in Europe. I love these people.


While hanging out with the Griswolds we all got matching hats with our name on it and then we visited the Eiffel Tower. The view was great from up there.


Then I headed up to Switzerland and met some really hot Swiss Ladies and a real Swiss Cow.


This was the Swiss Cow. :-)


After hanging out with the Swiss ladies I headed up to the mountain with the guys for some skiing.


I got some air while coming down the mountain. What a rush!


My good friends the Griswolds picked me up in their rental car and we headed to "Somewhere in Germany."


We stopped by a local pub and I met some awesome German Ladies.


Afterwards they were nice enough to drop me off at a German Castle that was giving tours.


I was able to go into the Castle's Tunnel System for a once in a life time tour.


Saw a ghost and got the heck out of there.

You can sure bet it will be a once in a life time tour because I'm never going back there again.

Stopped by Greece to see the Parthenon and my friend Red Bird.


He has some anger issues...


Headed off to Africa to go on a Safari. We saw a mother lion with her cubs.


When one of her cubs ran off I took it upon myself to jump out of the jeep and carry the little cub back to her mom.


She was not very happy with her and gave her such a lecture.


What a day in Africa. Finished up the tour and had a glass of Champaign as the sun set.


Roman Arrives in Texas. No Photoshop needed.
