dirty

today i looked down at my keyboard and realized how gross i am.

i'm guessing most of the grit is graphite from me going straight from the drawing table to the computer. either that or dirt may actually ooze from my fingertips. i dont know which is worse... the fact that my keyboard looks like this or that i didn't even notice it until just right now.... or maybe that i decided to take a picture of it instead of clean it.

las vegas half marathon

Sunday, December 10th I ran 13.1 miles with my brother. it was an awesome feeling to cross that finish line and one that i won't soon forget.
It was quite the experience to run right down the middle of The Strip... past the Blue Man Group at the start line, the Mandalay Bay, the performing Ozzie cover band, past the Balagio, the "run-through" wedding chapel, the hords of running "Elvi" (I guess that is Elvis pluralized), through Freemont Street, the Blondie cover band, and back to the finish line. All of the many hours of training I had put in were worth it. what a GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!

at the start line trying to stay warm.

one of the many running elvi

victory!

victory with medals and gold stuff that they give you.... my brother kind of looks like he's taking a dump in this picture. i don't think he was though.

the only way to celebrate completing a vegas half marathon: an ice bath and a bottle of champagne.

my superhero impersonation. check out those sweet $10 velcro shoes from walmart! i received a couple of comments about them as i ran. no complaints from me nor from my feet though!

bud crest

here's a sneak peek of a tee graphic i did for Bud Light.

initial pencil sketch. just to get the idea out there and a feeling of the proportions that the design will have.

inked. this is the art that i used/modified for the design.

computer work. dropped in some logos, grit, and distressing.

revision #1. Anheuser Busch decided that they wanted to use this for Bud Light instead of Budweiser. Also, they wanted to change the location that the graphic was placed on the shirt which required the slight tilting of the graphic. I decided to make it rougher and more distressed for them as well.

revision #2. they wanted more of an emphasis placed on "bud light" and not so much on the "82". this was my final art but i believe that it was printed in a color ink other than white.
