Grafik Armor / For Snowboarding Contest

A week ago tonight I was scrambling around trying to knockout four designs in four hours. Typically, procrastination has never served me well so I shy away from it. In this case, however, it landed me on the first two pages of the contest’s official website. Well played on the part of dumb luck. They’ll be announcing the winners on Twitter tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted. Here’s what I put together.

Mary Lessing
MaryLessing works in one of the most complex styles of painting I’ve ever witnessed. She first creates a composite by carefully drawing one delicate cell on top of another. She then meticulously paints in each cell with an appropriate shade of gray until her web of shapes becomes dimensional. A color wash is sometimes applied [...]
The Tone Matrix
I came across this on the iso50 blog today. It’s absolutely incredible and the best part is that because it’s basically a pentatonic scale (so I believe) you can’t really mess up. Simply click on the squares in sequence or drag your cursor across the grid and listen to the melody you’ve made. I was [...]
Digital Mixtape Vol. III
I’ve been compiling this mix for a while now. Some of these songs go back into the early 2000′s. You’ll notice that I’ve kept a loose mood in this compilation. It’s all Indie, but some of it is tinged with twang. Have a listen… you’ll see what I mean. Download Album
Perspective and Illusion
When I see work like this I always wonder about the amount of planning and preparation involved, so when I saw these images on FFFFOUND I instantly started trying to deconstruct the process. The only thing I can come up with is that the artist must be projecting the image into the space, does a [...]
Toys Exhibit at Gallery 924
I’ve been blessed with a really great friend in Aaron Scamihorn. He’s the kind of guy who encourages others to do things that they always talk about doing but may never make a real priority until he gives them that little extra push. In this particular instance I’m talking about showing some of my personal [...]
Aaron Hogan
I met Mr. Hogan way back in the summer of 2001. He was hired to do customer service for the company I was working for at the time. Within an hour of meeting him I knew I had made a friend for life. I’ve probably learned more from Aaron than any other designer I have [...]
Peter Lockhart
A few years ago I was at Starbucks waiting in line for my morning fix when I noticed a small flyer hanging on the bulletin board. As I moved in to get a closer look I noticed that the promo piece was for a local screen printing company called Flood City Studio. The postcard sized [...]
Aaron Scamihorn
Aaron Scamihorn, a.k.a Ronlewhorn is one of my closest friends as well as one of my favorite designer/illustrators. His work ethic is humbling, and the speed at which he produces illustrations is absolutely astounding.
IMA Layers Collaboration
Collaboration with local Indianapolis designers to promote the Indianapolis Museum of Art’s 100 Acres Exhibit. This was my take on the provided photo of an unusual park bench.
