Here’s one of my submissions for the 2005 KALX t-shirt competition. It’s a student run radio station out of Berkeley that plays all kinds of music. The only requirement was to have the radio station’s call letters and name in the design. It’s a really cool station and cutting edge stuff on it. Groovy stuff. Anyways, I submitted this image for “home grown radio”. It didn’t win, :(, but I still had fun drawing it, :). It started out from a teeny weeny sketch in my sketchbook, blown up, and traced to what you see here. When I heard IF current word: Sprout, it reminded me of this drawing so here it is. Although . . . (please scroll down for more) . . .
This design did win! They didn’t make t-shirts out of this one but they did put this design onto thousands of “adhesive stickers”. It was sort of a honorable mention but that’s cool. It was stickers for books, cars, furniture, what-ever the owner’s heart desired. I guess they thought it was a simple enough design that could be easily recognizable from a distance. I was inspired by a “Radio Junkie” and just drew what came to mind. Yippeee. Notice that at that time time, MP3’s weren’t invented yet, so the maniac listens to his Walkman. Of course with FM radio so he can listen to KALX. If you’ve got sime time, check it this real hip station: here’s the link. Peace Out!
Here’s the image that I thought of with this week’s word “Red”. I did a quick sketch in my sketchbook, scanned it, and colored it in PhotoShop. There was so much more in the sketch but his eyes were so powerful. So — I cropped everything else out using his eyes as the focal point.
This is my first attempt at collage art.
I’ve been listening to Podcasts a lot lately so Claudine Hellmuth has been inspiring me to do a little bit of collage artwork. First you listen to her 20 minute design challenge on her Podcast and later see her artwork that she created during that podcast. Claudine, together with her husband Paul, make the show quite entertaining. Here’s the link: http://www.collageartist.com/. Thanks Claudine and Paul.
While shopping at a nearby Kmart, I noticed Crayola makes a new product: the erasable crayon! So, I bought myself a box and found out they are great! The colors lay down like crayons but erase like colored pencils. Try them and you’ll truly be amazed! I hope Crayola make lots of money off of this product, because it’s been a long time coming.
Ahhh! Gimme some of that lovin’. Here’s a drawing for this week’s www.illustrationfriday.com word: RED. Have a good week everyone.
