Slippin into the couch

Been slippin' on this for a minute.
School has been busy. I finished color theory and now am onto typography. I finished my 1st project and have begun the process of comping fonts. Basically freehand drawing the specific fonts only using the pica scale for measurement. Challenging to say the least.

Not much skating has been going down but I have been out riding my bike a few times. Actually just got back from a quick ride downtown and back up the beach path. On my way past downtown I stopped off at LB Fixed Gear to check out some bullhorn bars. Too pricey. Anybody have some 36cm bullhorns they want to part with cheaply? Or some old drops that I can chop? Little help people, c'mon.

Below are some of the finished projects from my color theory class plus the 1st project from typography. Any comments or criticism welcome.

Sin piece is colored pencil on paper. Drawn from picture Sandra took in the Neon graveyard in Vegas.


Needle is also from color theory. It is radiograph pen on paper. This was my favorite piece I made in the class.


Bounce - 1st project from type. Descriptive text. Pencil and pen on paper.

Colors

Today I started my final project for color theory. We are designing skate deck graphics! I already came up with a name for my company, PLAY and have begun designing the graphics. This is right in my wheelhouse (right Sandra!). I have a bazillion ideas flying around the space between my ears. Once the designs are finished up and ready to submit for review I will post some. Even when I was younger I always loved really basic stylized board graphics and I plan on using that style through my line. Today was spent working on logo decks. So far I have 4 or 5 that look pretty good. Wish I some extra cash so I could actually produce a few of these. One day maybe...

On another not Sandra and I got some screen printing supplies and are going to start making shirts and prints at home. Look for some PLAY designs in the near future.

No youtube clips for you today. Just get out and enjoy the summer. I'm going for a bike ride.
