Commissioned Tattoo Designs


I've been asked to create a couple of tattoo designs for people who do not live or are willing to travel to Brooklyn.  Here is one that I created for a nice guy in San Francisco.  The letters represent his wife and two children.



If you do not live in the tri-state area and are unable to travel to Brooklyn to get something actually tattooed from me, you can commission a design.  Since I am not tattooing it, I treat it as an illustration assignment. 

Rates are $150 - $400 depending on size and complexity.  You get two high res files, a stencil outline and colored illustration, to print out and bring to your reputable tattooer.  The finished design will be executed in either colored pencil or watercolor.

If you wish to purchase the finished illustration or painting, I can work that into the price.

You will be asked for half of the quoted price for a deposit.  When I finish the commission, I'll ask you for the remaining balance before sending you the files.  







I want to stress going to a reputable tattooer to get your actual tattoo.  Your tattoo will only be as good on your skin if you get it tattooed by technically skilled artist.  Don't cheap out! If you need help finding a tattooer, I may not be able to personally recommend an artist, but I'll be able to point you towards some reputable shops in your area. Of course it would be more cost effective (tattoo cost wise) to visit Brooklyn Tattoo and have me tattoo it on ya!

Ouija Tee Design



Here's a recent tee design I did for Mishka NYC.
It was printed in 3 colors.



Nekromantix Poster


I got to do a poster for the Nekromantix show at the Bell House.

Client: Rebel Angel Productions


Instead of fooling around with digital color, I straight up painted this design. I'm really happy with how it came out. The original is actually a pen and ink drawing and colored with oil washes. Its a new method I think I'll be doing more of for illustration jobs.



Anyway, we decided to print up a run of posters!

Your Burning Up My Heart - Pop-Up Valentines



I've been playing around with watercolors a lot lately and I've been getting better at every project. For Valentines Day I decided to try my hand at pop-ups!

I cut out my burning heart illustration and mounted it on an "unequal angle fold". I also created a moire pattern spinner in the background. I mounted some patterned paper on the cover, hiding the folds and tabs.


More pictures (and video!) below.

I've also posted some process pictures up on flickr!

The Gowanus Studio Space Jell-O Mold Competition

CAll TO ENTRY



Saturday, June 20, 2009 from 6-10pm

Register by June 12, 2009 to compete



Jell-O is the perfect medium for design in these times of restraint given its versatility, economy, and availability. This is why it’s time for a comeback of the Jell-O proportions of old: soaring heights, strange colors, object suspension!


The Gowanus Studio Space’s Jell-O Mold Competition will pit designers against each other in an effort to make the Jell-O mold cool again. Competitors will battle it out for mold supremacy in the following categories:


- Creativity

- Aesthetics

- Structural/sculptural ingenuity

- Edibility/culinary appeal

- Best use and showcase of Jell-O


A crack panel of respected judges will announce the winners at 8pm on the day of the event. The judging and awards ceremony will be held at the Gowanus Studio Space in Brooklyn.


The event is open to the public so even if you don’t compete you can come check out the action! Kelso beer and Jell-O shots will be served.



We are also running a vacum form workshop so you can build your very own mold.
