before i begin, i would like to excuse myself if any of the following is nothing but gibberish. i’ve been sick with the flu for the past week and i think it has completely fried my brain. moving on…
today’s post is a complete walk-through of some of my latest pieces for the brooklyn circus. as always, the good guys at the bkc are looking to push the boundaries of their customers’ style and, in doing so, asked me to design a bunch of custom hand-lettered shirts. each shirt will show my hand drawing, the design process, and one colorway sample of a shirt in completion. there’s so much more after the break, enjoy!

the brand new winter line from casualty dropped tonight and it’s definitely great to finally see it finished and ready to ship. everyone (at casualty and at onetwentysix) worked really hard on this line and we’re all very proud of how it turned out. please check out the look book, the blog, and the store to get your hands on some of my most favorite apparel designs i’ve ever done and also a bunch of other awesome designs that i’m proud to share the stage with.
also, for those of you who read the blog regularly, you may remember that i posted progress shots of some of these pieces over the past few months. read about them here and here.

it’s been a month or so since the last time i posted here. things have been hectic, and honestly, i’ve been burnt out. the end of the summer always does this to me and it’s amazing i’m even posting on a day like today. i wanted to share one of my favorite projects from the last week though.
you may remember that i did a series of heavy metal inspired satirical logos for the company orange32 a few months back. this past week they were finally put to use. i was asked to create four designs for blank discs that the company would use to send out files and such with. each disc should have the company name, contact information, a blank area for handwritten text, and of course look totally metal. here are the results. see if you can guess which logos were the inspiration for each disc.
