This is my homage to the great artist of my skateboarding youth, Jim Phillips... my take on his classic Santa Cruz Screaming Hand is a little chubbier and little screamier...
Have a great Halloween everyone! and remember... Halloween is about being scared so no going out as a Princess, or celebrity or some other lame costume unless you are a mutilated Princess or celebrity or whatever...
Yesterday I whipped up a poster for a play my friend Cliff wrote and is putting on. The premise of the play is about a young girl who is a porn star who mutilates her face and only then starts to see the beautiful person she really is.
Well, I guess it is a bit of artwork. This winter I bought a 1978 RD400 that was in pretty poor shape and spent the winter (with a huge help from my friend Alix) rebuilding it. Finally put it all together and started it up. The final picture shows the bike as I bought it, my Photoshop mock up of what I wanted it to look like and finally how it turned out.
Well... another idea kicking around in my head that I finally put to use. Taking a little wood panel, countersinking some earth magnets into it... painting it up and hanging it by the door to hold my keys. I think I am going to make a bunch of these if anyone is interested.
Happy New Year everybody! it's been awhile... First project of the new year is some cookie packaging for local personal trainer and entrepreneur Marshall Tully. He was looking for an economical and green conscious way to package his high protein cookies. I went with a band idea which uses minimal paper (recycled) with an Indian flavour to reflect the flavours of the cookies. The band wraps around the cookie bag and attaches with simple staple. The illustrations are Indian influenced and I think they work well with the overall concept.
