Kreative Juice Box Logo Design

I decided to add a flashy logo and colorful look to my freelance enterprise. I bring to you..... Kreative Juice Box. Yep. It's where all the juicy stuff happens. A play off of the always alluring and sometimes hazardous synapses of creative idea and thought tucked neatly into a nice little squeezable box. Slogan you ask? "Let's get em flowing" is kinda what I had worked up. It has a tie to the name and is somewhat subliminal in nature. Giggity.

Blue Moon Band Poster #15

Holidays always give an opportunity to intermingle ideas, shapes and colors where they might not have been conceived of otherwise. So here is St. Paddy's Day poster design using a great color scheme accompanied by a collage of shapes. The hardest part is proximity to tell you the truth. But it worked out in the end. My favorite part has to be the use of one of my texture pics in the background.

Bear Graphics' Saturday In The Park Ad

This is an advertisement for a local publication called The Weekender. The Bear Graphics ad was for the upcoming Saturday in the Park Event on the fourth of July. The guitar was actually drawn custom in Illustrator. The pearl look on the headstock of the guitar was actually another picture that I took of ad oily puddle that I dropped on in photoshop, I figured it would be a neat addition. The wood grain on the side was also overlayed. And of course it looks great when it's not a low res jpeg. Below is the mesh lines just to prove it is a vector drawing.

Chimney Fish Logo Spread

And here is a mock up that I presented to a "never was" client for a local rock and roll band. They never did get back to me and that is sort of disheartening. But hey, time moves on. So. On that note, the fish graphic was custom drawn and then brought into illustrator and redrawn. I wanted pale colors and I tried to use a font that represented the graphic well. I wanted something fun and that had a sort of illustrated look. Too bad though, I would've liked to have a

t-shirt with one of these on it. Below is the idea in pen before the logo redraw.

Blue Moon Band Poster #4

 You might recognize the guitar neck from the one I did for the Shayna Baszler website. But since that wasn't being put to good use I decided to make a sweet poster for the Blue Moon Band. Once again, all done in Illustrator minus the wood grain. This poster makes me smile cause it's so simple with the information. Get's the point across and looks nice to boot. Click the image to get more detail on the custom drawn strings. There were so many paths I had to rasterize them just to work. Haha. Whateva.

Elie's Mexican Restaurant Concept

 So the beautiful and talented Sandy Welch decided to take up a dream of hers and start a mexican restaurant. The only problem, no logo or trendy pepper dude. So I took to Illustrator like a crazy patoonia. My dad actually penciled a pepper dude with sombrero and margarita. I brought it into Illustrator and brought him to life really. 110% vector art in Illustrator. Gave you the lines to prove it. Haha. And if anyone says the margarita should be green i'll slap them and then admit defeat. I wish my dad would give me more little vegetable dudes to do. Just speakin from the heart people.

Shayna Baszler Website Intro

 This is the intro to the Shayna Baszler website. There was a lot more besides what i've put on here, but these were the most interesting of the bunch. This one is a classic rendition of the typical death comic scene. Done by everyone in one way or another, but I tried to make it specific to Shayna. This depicts her Skull Throne which gives ode to her famous quote "Another skull for the skull throne" after she thoroughly dismantles her helpless victims. Haha. Sorry. Never got a chance to put her in the thrown, as was also the fault of people responsible for the site. I should send her this stuff though so she has it at least. Never was paid a dime either. Haha.

Shayna Baszler Custom Guitar Neck Design

And here is the guitar neck that was done custom for the Shayna Baszler website as well. I wanted more than just the guitars themselves. I wanted to push myself in Illustrator and work up some detail. Everything is vector including the strings, which were drawn bit by bit. Well, okay the woodgrain was an added touch that i wasn't about to go into. But honestly everything else was drawn in Illustrator. So this is my custom guitar neck with sweet pearl spades instead of dots. Click to enlarge. 

Shayna Baszler Custom Guitar Design

 So Shayna is an incredible guitar player and brings her guitar with her before fights, so having it on the website was a no brainer. Her actual guitar is a Flying V that is white, but I did both colors for reasons that escape me. But the important thing is that these babies were drawn 100% in illustrator. And she loved them.

Shayna Baszler Playing Card Design

 This was a piece design specifically for an area female mixed martial artist by the name of Shayna Baszler. I was always a huge fan of hers from watching Bodog Fights and eventually Elite XC. So doing her website was awesome to say the least. This was a propaganda style piece reminiscent of a Shepard Fairey work (hardly), that was eventually made into the cover of playing cards for the site. And unfortunately I think the site is pulled down due to another person's failure to cooperate with people associated.
