Did I fall off the wagon? A little. I realized this was starting to have the reverse intended effect. Instead of finding new ways to be creative I was burning myself out and getting repetitive. I figured with a third of a year down I would take a couple weeks off to renew. I still plan to log 365 pieces, and within a year, so I’ll be making up by doing 2 or 3 a day when I return sometime next week.

I need a new schtick
Cause Jen wanted it
Several requests for a Vader piece to complete the trilogy.
…it’ll only take 5 minutes!
People who have said this to me: bosses, friends, friends of friends, cold query emails, anyone who thinks PaintShop Prop is a real design program.
Here are logos I have designed in five minutes. Some were used, most people realized I was being an asshole.
Hey look, more decayed 90s style retro halftone print stuff. I think I need to put these tools away for now. Or maybe forever.
There was a time, pre publishing Empire, pre home video and pre Empire Strikes back when the ONLY other Star Wars you could get was a toy… or this book.
Long story short too late.
Most people don’t associate Star Wars with the 70s anymore given how epic and sprawling it’s become. Aside from a brief period in the late 80s and early 90s, it’s been around forever now. For me though, I can’t disassociate the original Star Wars from being a kid in the 70s. And I don’t mean the disco days. I lived in a small rural town, and had a very young father. Every Star Wars discussion I heard in the first six years in my life happened in the back of a van, in a cloud of pot with Led Zepplin on the 8-Track.
To me, the original Star Wars makes me think of 70s hard rock, stoners and wanna be Frank Frazetta artwork airbrushed on the side of a panel van. This image is trying to capture that.
Didn’t make them, just found, photographed.
Last one for REAL this time…
..for now
A series.
Still in the 90s. Cardboard by Nicole Antebi.
Design equivalent to doodling.
Since the first one came out so well, I designed this one for my son’s impending birthday gift. He likes Legos, but he’s said he wants a “real” skateboard, not a toy one. Meaning, he knows a cool deck vs. a Toys R Us Disneyboard. Hopefully this will make him happy.

Today – The Western
Decided to have my skateboard design actually committed to a deck. These photos show it just assembled and pretty. It was acceptably scuffed and broken in two hours later.
