A couple of fancy type samples I saw while I was in New Orleans.

Images from Fleurdlicious and A Wardrobe of Whiskey.

In A Rut

I'm not super sure about this one yet... It's an amalgamation of Nikki McClure and Michael Schwab...

The idea is create a strong image of a rider riding through a muddy/icy rut. An image that could be easily manipulated by the colors chosen for the silkscreen — feeling like winter using blue tones or late autumn using browns.

For the past few months I have been creating my own typography out of simple Illustrator stroked paths. The effect is a very fun and friendly typestyle.

2011.5/52 Snowy Creek

I've been playing a lot outside — cycling, running and hiking in the snow. I find the snowy woods really beautiful and I am grateful I live in a pace that gets al four seasons and that we have had a lot of snow for the past two years.

These shots are from a few weeks ago. I was inspired by a Holga I shot two years ago and I hope to convert these pics into a cool graphic landscape (see Holga and an old poster I created below).

2011.4/52 Winter Sunsets

I was walking my dog in the woods and I was really inspired by the stark contrast of the bare branches and the progressing sun setting on the horizon. I took a photo and extracted the branches — intending to make a silkscreen plate from this. This one plate with a dark brown or black ink could be printed over various skies made by smearing ink and/or printmaking.

I would see this as a continual scene (tryptich) or one cropped scene printed over a series of skies. This silkscreen plate would also be cool if I traced the photograph in ink — giving the branches and trees a rougher impression.

I just heard of this band. I really dig their sound, super chill like a psychedelic StereoLab.
