Joanna & I just signed up to be apart of the 2011 Sketchbook Project, curated by the Art House Co-Op. We will have until January 15th to finish our sketchbook’s theme and send it back to Art House. Joanna chose the theme “A Day In The Live”, I chose the theme “Capture The Flag”. Our sketchbooks then will be apart of the traveling gallery show that will be starting in Brooklyn New York, winding through SXSW in Austin Texas, then heading up the west coast to Seattle. Our sketchbooks will also be bar coded, so we will be informed each time it has been viewed. We’ll give you more info once the Seattle show get’s closer…
Back before digital, photographers used to intentionally process film in the wrong chemical solution to give the photo’s color a different look. This cross processing produced varying results, sometimes adding more yellow or blue or other colors to a photo. A lot of designers have different ways to recreate this look digitally in Photoshop. I decided to record my version as a Photoshop Action, so hit download and give it a go on your photos.
Kurt over at DigBMX interviewed me about working as an Art Director for Redline Bicycles. You can read the whole interview here. Thanks Dig! I also did a set of Vector Freebie illustrations and type for the article. Commence downloading now….
Joanna’s Mom, Beverly Abbott, was an Art Director and Fashion Illustrator from 1953-1963. I am completely inspired by her work and wanted to share her amazing talent to the world. Below are three samples of her work. I’ve also set up a Flickr set that features more of her fashion illustration portfolio during that time and her work history. May her artwork inspire you as well.
This is my entry to the DESIGN THE MODERN SNOWBOARD contest, sponsored by K2 Snowboards and Design Within Reach. The concept on this one was to make the board a window out into space, complete with skewed blinds, rockets and robots. My submission below will be up at the Denver DWR studio and judged by attendees to the opening event on March 27th.
Here’s some selected pen and ink illustrations by Joanna Abbott-Moss.
Joanna and I had 3 illustrations published in issue 21 of Louis Liard, an international creative journal.
Here’s the flyer I did for the Vintage Synth Night my friend Marc through down at the Seattle Drum School in Georgetown on Sept. 3rd. There’s nothing like the sound of at Casio SK-5 playing over the top of a Roland Juno-60. Pure analog goodness!
Super streamlined CD packaging on this project. 1 color CD in a 4-color satin coated cardstock jacket. We also did posters, shirts and stickers for merchandising at their gigs.
Joanna and I teamed up on this one. She drew these great contour hands that I layered throughout the design. 2-color CD with 4 color booklet and jewel case.
