Tales from the Graphic Mafia - Part 1

I've been working on this book for while now. It's a large scale coffee table book, full of my art, games, puzzles, stickers an iron on and filled with some pretty awesome stories and adventures from the past 20 years of my oh so young career. Putting out a book is no joke, I had to get a Ghost Writer to help me along the way, someone who actually knows English grammar. After all I kant schpell.

Great clients with Awesome ideas: Kings Sin

It was called Kings Sin, a brand created by an acquaintance of mine who came up with a tattoo art style based on the Lore of The King's Sins around the world over time. What kind of stuff were those cheeky Kings all about anyway? Filthy swines. I created these a few years ago for him. Perfect example of great clients with awesome ideas. I'd love to see these in stores soon.

Draw, Draw, Draw!

I have been drawing some funny stuff lately, Illustrations, all kinds of things, also - a classic page attached of some of my favorite ones from years ago too. I would like to draw all day if I had it my way.

What I do for a Living....

Since I pump out an obtuse amount of design for illustration concepts, websites, print campaigns, branding ideas etc. I thought why not just have a good old hotpot spot to dump it all as they get polished up. Some of the stuff is pretty standard, my clients are quite varied and come from all walks of life. I especially look for people with unique products and ideas with a twist. After doing this for almost 20 years - One gets a bit bored with the same old shit. I hope that mt continued travels help influence my design. Once in while - I find some real diamond clients, here are a few....



It's so awesome to return from such a long trip and have a ton of freelance ready to go! It's the new mobile job - honestly, anyone can take a laptop on the road, design stuff on the fly, get great clients along the way and build a sick portfolio!?

Happy New Years 2011

I woke up today and said to myself "I need to use my fricken BLOG as an SEO tool for my Design Work and my new hopeful budding Photography Career?!" I've got a new book in the works - Tales from the Graphic Mafia - gonna have to push that soon too, a tour for Design & Technical Schools teaching kids how to get the gigs etc - PLUS - I'm still slugging my shirt concept (2.5 years of work - time to sell some shit!). It's all good, January is a great time to get one's Ducks in a Row! 22 Days in the Mayan Riviera really inspires a lad like me!

WTF DMAN _ GET TO WORK DAMMIT!! LOL

Back in the Saddle!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Well after a very busy Fall & Winter 2009 was a bloody success. The team was stronger than ever and we pumped out some awesome projects. Tons of fun sites for some amazing clients.

Awesome.

On the T-Shirt tip, Merder is blazing away with more designs and some clever creations sure to blow people away. We have teamed up with local Photographer Kris Krug. His gory photo shoot became the inspiration for our latest website as we prepare for Magic in Las Vegas next month.

Summer Tour 2009...

Just got back from 3.5 weeks of showing the line all over London, NYC & San Francisco. Some well deserved R&R and me batteries are bloody charged. Rocked it with Q-Tip in NYC, wicked show. Hit Metric at the Electric Ballroom in London! Merder Tees is available for orders next week. Every single person I showed it to, wanted at least 1 of them right away in hand. I showed it to a shitload of people including retailers, wholesalers, fashion designers, footballers, lol and a ton of really drunk English blokes - dammit! Bottom line is we have a brand people want. I built several UK relations and the team is solid. We are touring the entire province introducing it to buyers up close with a forth coming gallery exhibit featured in selected hot spots this summer. BOSH.
