Sweet. I'm actually getting into setting up a screen printing operation, so I won't have to go through anybody else to get shirts, posters, prints of my sh*t made.

Here's a thing from a few weeks ago. A little explanation: my friend and I came up with an idea that both solved the dilema of her wanting to drink and enjoy the music festival, and still write reviews for the bands. I accompanied her like a photographer, except doing onsite sketches, then going back and refining them later. If you're interested, read the sh*t out of the review. It was great fun, and got a lot of incredible feedback. http://www.eachnotesecure.com/drunk-music-...usic-fest-2011/

Some of my favorites:

I want the first one on my shirt!

Really good stuff.

Started a shirt design for the Cincinnati Roller Girls. The black's going to be negative space, as the shirt's going to be black, but I can only use three colors. Red White and Blue work?

[JuVeNiLe]

whAT are the roller girls colors? nvmind looks like they are blk n silver. i'd go with those and white.

wish i'd have stumbled upon this topic earlier, unique style man.

So is this basically going to be a white rectangle on a black shirt? Kinda feel like your cool border is going to waste if that's the case. Have you thought about making the border white, and switching the rest to black/negative space?

Like this:

[Moonshield]

I have. I still like the idea of the black negative space border/linework. I have options now though.

I'm still messing with some of the border and background stuff, but that's the basic idea.

i prefere the look of the second one, much more puncy with the image.

[Moonshield]

Yeah, more and more I tend to agree. That said, I've finished and submitted! Let's hope they like it.

[Moonshield]

Babump.

HP Lovecraft that sold before it was even finished. I'm selling prints of it on my etsy site now.


Now onto a Tolkien one. Thoughts?

The Dark Tower

[*MURDOC*]

As usual, I'm having trouble finding anything I dislike about your artwork.

The colors in all of them are fantastic, in the last one, I really like the contrast of the muted, sandy desert to the bright deep sky, in the middle it looks like the crest of a huge sandstorm.
I also like the way the tower itself is all dark and ominous, almost like a silhouette, but it still has depth to it, plus I dig the change in design from the more angular modern bottom to the wicked-looking top.
sh*t looks straight up sinister.

One thing I noticed was the dark spots to the right of the tower, were they just a mistake?
Just curious.

They all really look excellent.
Great work as always, awesome atmosphere you work into them, it's badass.

[Moonshield]

Hah, yeah those are where ink drops hit and my hand smudged them. Ink is a sh*ttily permanent medium, unless you want to bring white paint into the mix. And thanks man. I'm planning on using that to make a sort of Dark Tower mock movie poster, the one above that as an "In the Mountains of Madness" thing, and some more horror books/movies along the same lines.

New show poster I'm working on. Going to add simple colors for a possible screenprint, but right now just going to give it that screenprinted feel.

Edit: Here's a colored version.

[VideoPoker]

Killer stuff, dawg. Everything looks awesome.

For the crazy space mushroom, I'd add a couple cracks in the rock radiating out from the base. Kind of like it's punching its way through the rock. Might tie it to the ground a lil better.

[Moonshield]

Good call. I added a shadow made by the cap on the ground too. Kept it simple and I think it's finished.

As opposed to requoting a huge image, have/will you print this one? Would definitely love to hang it on my wall.

[Moonshield]

I printed a copy up for a small art showing here in town, but am planning on printing more. I put it up on my Society6 page as well as my Etsy store, but we can def. do a deal if you want to circumvent those things. My printing size is limited (the original is 10x18), but you can get it from the society6 page as up to 17x28.

Started drawing a new shirt design for my bands: Cirith Ungol. Should I throw in a Nazgul somewheres?

[Moonshield]

Just finished a few things, and still working on that Cirith Ungol tshirt design.







I also recently finished doing a new DRUNK MUSIC REVIEWS. Some highlights:

Hellz yeah. I seriously love your watercolours, man

The t-shirt design for your band is awesome. The tower rising above the circle border totally makes the image for me. The only thing I'm not sure about is the flying raven. It seems kinda tossed in there. Maybe a second one flying around further in the background would help?

And the finished space mushroom is absolutely boss.
