| That Old Windmill |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
I love taking photos of windmills. So many of them around here, but mostly the older ones are the ones that peak my interest. This photo is of the one that me and my dad restored and nursed back to health. This was a fun project, I even got to paint the letters back on the tail. Too cool!

| The Trooper II |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
I was going through some old family photos the other day I came across the photos of the old Isuzu Trooper 2 that my parents had. The first one in Lincoln. This suv saw a lot of miles, but it was a good one. I put this graphic together of the color scheme and logo on the side of the Trooper, really dig those colors. Earth tones - good stuff.

Getting some things put together for the old Moose Snowboards website. I put this little one liner together for a home page graphic and threw it on my iPad to check it out. Working on some color combos as well for the site. I like these colors together for some reason. Digging it! Site still under construction, but hopefully have something, just takes time. Patience.

Here to the man, the father of Futura, Mr. Paul Renner. Such a great font and happy to have it as a part of the whole design arsenal. This typeface it one of my favorites. Really a diverse typeface and so easy to use. You see it a lot and is a favorite to a ton of people, even that Draplin fellow. Love it! Here is to you Paul!

Going into the old archives again. Here is an illustration I did for a golf outing invite I did. I was really happy how this one turned out and so were the people i was working with on this one. It was just a round of 9 holes at the course, so hence the number 9 on the flag. I enjoy this kind of stuff. Always fun!

Found this great book at the Antique store I visited the other day. So awesome. This was such a good find. Well when I opened the book and flipped through the pages, I got to the end and what did I find, an awesome little group of graphics that just was so damn good. This made my day for sure. Always looking, but look inside, see what you can find. Always explore.

Here is a graphic I did for a conference a while back. Had to put this one together in a hurry, and man did I find it to be a fun project. This is one of my favorites.The group I was working with really enjoyed the graphic and used it on multiple pieces for the event. Fun!

Here is a fun graphic I did for that Young Jerk Dan Cassaro. I saw a tweet that it was his birthday, and turned out this little graphic for him, illustrating his pull behind that he found a while back. I thought I would dress it up a bit with the TTMS lighting bolt and put a sweet tail fin on the top and really make this thing look fast. I tweeted this bad boy to him and he seemed to enjoy it! Can't wait to meet him at WMC Fest in June! I hope!

This is a good one. Love this sign and it has been in the family for quite some time. This thing is huge, takes up the front half of a shed. Must have been what sparked my love for design seeing it time and time again. Good stuff!

I was going through some of the old files around here and stumbled across this little design I did a while back for the club that I am apart of. We have an annual event called Taste of the Vine. Needed a graphic for a flyer and I thought to myself, boy the tops of those wine barrels sure could look like grapes if viewed from the top....ding...ding, we have a winner. What you see is what I finished out with, with a touch of the vine leaves to finish the effect. This was a fun one, I thought I would share.

Dad was always a big Richard Petty fan back in the day. I remember this logo back in the day watching races with my dad. This one brings back memories for sure. This has always been one of my favorites. Found this little guy at an auction waiting to grabbed up by a hungry bidder. So good.

My buddy Draplin, just keeps on designing some pretty cool shit! Man, just look at what he and the Field Notes and Coudal Partners just came out with.
Field Notes: National Crop Edition
I went ahead and fired off an order for two of these killer box sets. This is just like what I grew up seeing from my grandpa down on the farm. Coming from a farm background, this is just right at home. Plus, it got so much better when they made this video of Draplin showing all his memo books he has collected over the years. This video was done very well. I will never forget the time when he was here in Nebraska to speak and I got to go junking with this guy. Dude is a true inspiration. I owe a lot to him and for him getting that fire lit under my butt to get going. Better get your hands on these, before they are gone. Plus that memo book archive is killer!
Check out the video, this is some true passion for collecting right here:

Have to give a shout out to the boys at French paper. Man do they make a great sheet of paper or what!! Plus, the box that it arrives in, is just so damn awesome, that makes you just not want to throw away the damn thing. Respect those guys and the shit they do!
Only place were I order paper from: French Paper Co.
Good stuff!

It has been a while since I updated the website and blog, so I thought I would sit down and start doing some overhauling on this bad boy. I have been in a change up kind of mode, so let's see how this goes. Give me some time and I will get things back up to full speed. |
