Gifts in action.

Here are a few of my gifts in action! Yeah!

On the fourth day of Christmas...

So last night, on my 4th day of banging out gifts and goodies, I made t-shirts! For my nephews Keegan and Kaleb. Hopefully they will love them. ha. I also made chocolate dipped potato chips and chocolate covered pretzels. Tonight will be Christmas cookie baking and decorating, as well as packing all my packages! Mick (my dog) will be really glad when I'm back to paying all my attention to him. :) Happy Holidays peeps!

More Christmas Projects

Last night I made these hand made, hand printed books. Even made some sweet graph paper...

Christmas Shenanigans

So every year, I love to set myself up for possible disappointment by making everyone stuff for Christmas. This year is no different, as I have also decided to bake everyone goodies too. Well last night I tried to get most of the fun designy stuff out of the way. So here are some sneak peeks of what i was doing.

Bordo Bello: The Event

Here are a few picts from the Bordo Bello skateboard art fundraiser event for Access Gallery and Youth Design Denver. They were able to sell over 100 boards which go to help fund these two great artistic outlets. Feels good to do my part. My board is the center of image 2 & 4. Holler!

Bordo Bello: Due tomorrow!

Okay. After seeing what some peeps like, what some peeps don't like, weighing what's feasible versus whats realistic... I have decided to finalize this lightening bolt/rain one. I added a heart, and changed the scale of one. One of these will be the entry. I'm thinking it goes along with the recent theme of heartbreak anyway. And I can't stop singing Kanye's Heartless. mmmhmm.

Bordo Bello: Raygun, is that you?

I have been struggling with this project! I JUST finished watching Objectified, which had me stoked about pretty things, and I really liked the idea of doing something in the style of Roy Lichenstein, so I finally made it happen.

Well the lightening bolt and cloud from the previous post were in his style, it just wasn't telling enough of a story for me. So I looked up toy gun... and ray guns or laser guns came up. David Carson (a professor and graphic designer/antagonist - you either love him or hate him, I don't really feel either...) will be at the Bordo Bello event (maybe) with his class from Wyoming. So I kind of think its only fitting to do a tiny play off of the ray gun theme, as that was the magazine which he designed for back in the day, the magazine that in turn made him somewhat notable.

Too much? Too soon? Some how I think Sue LaPorte would either see the humor in my designs or slap me in the face. Either way - so far its my simplist, most effective designs yet. Whether its funny or not.

Bordo Bello: One more...

Here is one I whipped up yesterday. I think I like it the best so far.
