i’m going to show a couple incomplete things just since i haven’t uploaded for a couple days.

daliphant

this first one was inspired by dali’s famous elephants. thought i’d try to give it a spin. this isn’t for anyone in particular, so i guess its ‘for sale.’ if interested, get at vass@ladisputemusic.com.

ladistralia-color

next up is the australian tour poster for my band, la dispute. designed as a 2 color screen print and i’m really hoping it is screen printed down there. i had some issues with text and the logos at the bottom, but they were fixed pretty simply with a tablet after scanning the drawing.

duxcopy

here are a couple ducks for another work in progress. working on a shirt for a band called anstice and they asked for something blue, so in billy madison fashion, i thought of ducks. obviously isn’t finished, going to add some background scenery and text.
fixtspelling

heres a shirt design for a michigan band called the mastodon infantry. inspired by a classic optical illusion with an elephant. not sure the illusion carried over as well as i had hoped, but i still think its rad.

wonderyearsmock

last one for today is a mockup of a shirt design i’m doing for the wonder years european tour. its not quite finished, i’m going to add some lyrics to it to make it seem less like someone drowning and more like someone trying not to drown.

as usual, i’m open for work. i’ve got a couple designs on my plate (bears, native, no sleep records), but i could always use a couple more. contact me at vass@ladisputemusic.com.

here are a couple things i did at the airport or right before the trip. ld got asked to do a bigger tour this fall so i wanted to do all new designs for it, a couple are here. they aren’t quite finished but pretty close. the pencil sketch with the flower and candle is also for that tour, and the pencil sketch of the fast food employee is for native. i’ll also be uploading some stuff soon (within a few days if all goes well) that i’ll be working on for australian friends Quiet Steps and To The North. Also, fellow aussie Ruined Lighthouse Records, don’t think I forgot about you. I finished your design on the plane and am waiting for you to approve before I show it off here.
