Don't have any screen shots yet for the portfolio but just finished getting the new Twisted Gecko myspace up and running. Go check it out www.myspace.com/twistedgecko
Well its the end of the year, x-mas time and all that. Gonna take a few days off after finishing up work for the band Elisium today. Their myspace layout will be out soon, will update a link here when it does. Also gonna re-work some of "SkullHeart", don't like the dagger. Sometime in the first of the year will be doing all new Erase The Enemy work so stay on the look out for that, got some cool plans. New Twisted Gecko stuff will be coming your way also. Got a few band myspace layouts set for Jan '09 also, will update when they come in. I got a lot of plans for 119Design in the coming year. Also gonna do some Word Press studies over the holiday i think. I wanna migrate the site to that when i re-design here soon. Well until the next time, have a jager and a smile and a safe and enjoyable holiday :)
Started work on a new clients myspace, a rock band from Northern VA called Elisium, very cool dudes. The sites got a nice worn look to it.
The band's in the middle of a singer change, again. Wayne is leaving to join the Navy. In these rough economic times he needs to worry about taking care of his family first and we all respect him for that. We'll miss ya bro......So the bands currently searching for a new singer. If interested drop me a line......
Here's a preview of my latest piece "SkullHeart". Not sure if I'm finished with it yet, think I am but not sure. Will be making available for 13"x19" posters when I'm sure I'm finished and done some test prints......
Also, thinking about making some 11"x17", 8"x10" and 4"x6" prints of some older artwork available for sale here soon too. If you have any request from any of the old work, let me know (view old art pieces at www.graphics119.com/pages/artwork1.html)
And for those that are digging the "SkullHeart" work, stay tune cause a version of it will be available on a T-Shirt in a couple of colors in the coming month or so from Twisted Gecko (www.twistedgeckoclothing.com)
I think I'm goin to re-do the entire site soon, just not crazy about the look, think I was designing out of my style or trying to be something i'm not. Basically its not nasty/dirty enough LOL.
UPDATES:
As of tomorrow nite the new Saint Diablo myspace layout will be up and running. Really stoke about the look, feels like on a web/graphics level i'm finding my feet again. I'd like to thank the guys in Diablo for giving me the chance to do my "magic" as they said, they were alot of fun to work with and hope to be doing some more work for them in the future.
On the ETE front, gonna start the myspace/dot com new image/layout this week, got some cool shit planned for that (least it looks good in my mind LOL). If your in the VA BEACH, VA area Sunday Dec. 7th, come out to Stepping out to catch the Black X-mas show with Born of Osiris, Shai Hulud, Erase The Enemy and many many more, like a total of 18 metal bands in one day!! Should be a fun day.......
Also, finally got my Blackberry Curve this week and I fucking love it!!! I don't think i'll ever go back to a regular phone again.
Keep an eye out here and at Twisted Gecko for new shirts to come out very soon (Skull Heart is one of them)(but with out the dagger). Once i get the background worked out, Skull Heart prints will be for sale so keep an eye out in the SHOP.
Well until the next time, have a jager and a smile :)
Heres a couple of videos of my band (Erase The Enemy) for your entertainment....
I finally started up my online store after procrastinating forever LOL. You can get 13x19inch prints of 2 of my older pieces now, more to come..... 119Design online store
Here's a sneak peak at the "SkullHeart" illustration I'm working on (the dagger is just a place marker for now). Its gonna be available for sale as a 13"x19" poster here soon along with other pieces. And maybe on a t-shirt, not sure yet on that part...Really diggin drawing again. I'd like to think GO MEDIA guys, Hydro74 and T-shirt Factory guys, if it wasn't for their tutorials on drawing with wacoms and illustrator inking i wouldn't have gotten into this stuff. I think I'm finding my own style slowly like this. Look for many more pieces to come.....
On another note, getting the myspace page up and running. the address is www.myspace.com/119design - right now its just a plain myspace page, working on the layout now. Undecided whether I want to go with the look of the site here or a new look (using the SkullHeart illustration).....Also got my Twitter page up and running (http://twitter.com/119Design) starting to get into that. Will probably use that when I'm on the road with the band....
