the duke of ducks.

a new company contacted me today and asked if my "i (nes zapper) ducks." design was for sale.

i said yes and they bought it.

that is a short story.

the intrigue for me is that they don't have a site yet (or at least they don't have one that they sent me a url for) but the company, or parent company's name is "the duke of cool".



i'll obviously update the ol' blog here once it's up for sale. i was told to look for the site launch on august 1st.

gamer shirts make me feel all fuzzy inside.

transitive pictographic verbalization.

i have a new design for the nintendo devout:



if you have already clicked the image above, you will notice how i enticed you to click by the possibility of seeing a naughty word. i win!

i've been shopping this design around, so i hope i can tell you it's on sale soon!

skulls and zappers.

this is my latest non-paycheck design.



created for threadess, this design is for a specific competition. usually threadless has an ongoing competition with no boundaries and no themes. with a prize pack of $2,000 for a well scored design.

this design is particular to a competition titled "e for all", a video game themed contest.

so i dug out some clichés.

many voters on threadless hate guns and skulls and video game designs. but i liked the aesthetic these had together and i decided to pander to my own interests. i think this design in particular may cater to a different crowd, but threadless has been very open minded and awarded an array of different styles.

at any rate, i'm late to the game in posting this, as there's only a 7 day windo to vote... i've already lost 2 days.

so if you're not a member, join up. threadless has a great community of designers, even non designers who just dig design tend to hang out. but please vote on my piece and let me know what you think. too often i don't have many comments, so i have very little to learn from (outside of people not liking skulls and guns)




in the future, large versions of the images outside of the threadless template will make their way into this blog. so it will at least be more visually interesting to look at later.
