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.

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.

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.

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.

Sketches July 26, 2009

Here are just some inks of things I’m working on. Looking forward to digitizing them and getting them cleaned up.
These first two, an owl and a group of mice, are going to be together for a to the north shirt. they’ll be seperated by text. i drew them on seperate pieces of paper so i could draw them bigger and resize them in photoshop, so here they are as seperate scans.

Up next is a design for quiet steps. Its goin to be a 2 color tshirt print, black and neon green on white, and i’m also going to paint it digitally for their record art.

lastly are a couple lighthouses i sketched for a la dispute shirt. the pencily one was a bigger attempt at the inked one which was my initial idea but drawn very small. plan to paint it in watercolors then bitmap it for screen printing.
