Messina Strait

The Strait of Messina is a stretch of water in Italy which is where they think the Greeks believed Scylla and Charybdis lived. And now the name of my forthcoming clothing venture, things change a lot.

Coach Trip Fisheyes

At the beginning of November I embarked on a 10-day-coach-journey-catch-up-session around the South east. I took my fish-eye. These aren't as good as I'd hoped for to be honest, I'll blame that partly on myself for not getting round to taking many photographs recently and being out of practise, and partly on the fact that my light metre is broken so all the settings are guess work.

It Is A Promise

Full type styles.

This isn't good enough to actually use for anything, but as always I post everything and anything.

It's good to be doing something again. Even if it's not the best.

Death Is Not A Problem

Bit of type messing.
Needs some Ai clean up & adjustments before the full piece goes up.

The Butcher - Complete

After ages of fussing and faffing with colours and different fills and such, I decided to just cut the crap, keep it simple, 2 colour print on white. Gonna screen this, then I'll post the outcome.

Peek at the final element of this piece.

So here's a little peak at an idea I started working on this evening. More to follow.

The InCiders: T-shirt Designs

So some friends of mine collectively known as The InCiders, ( http://www.theinciders.com/ ) a local hardcore/punk band (See previous sets of concert photos) asked me to do some shirt designs for them. I was supposed to do the album cover but I did something else instead.

.1.

Black Flag. 

There's a lot of mock Black Flag shirts going around and it annoys me a little bit because they're all just using the logo with different typefaces and it's become really cool and stuff. You can bet half the kids wearing the shirts have no idea who Black Flag were. So in this case the logo's turned to coffins and straight outta the InCider's lyrics "You Stood Back And Watched It Die". The songs about the hardcore scene being taken over by scene kids. Just in the same way that the t-shirts were taken over by hipsters.

.2.

Coffins.

Nowhere near as much thought in the processing of this one but I think it looks pretty cool. Just took the Black Flag coffin pattern and extrapolated it, changed the position of the type at the bottom.

.3. 

Welcome To The Age Of Stupid.

Another line straight out of The InCider's lyric book for the latest E.P. It's either the line before or after references the dawn of the dead which is where that hand came from. Birds are just for effect. Enjoying the jumbled up letters with just "stupid" standing on it's own. Let's see if that confuses anyone.

Horror Crew - Haunting Houses - Videos

So sometime a bit earlier this year I went to an abandoned hotel with some people from Horror Crew (see photos in an earlier post) and at the time I couldn't get the videos to upload. Now I have better internet.
