More coin…

A while back, I wrote a post called "Dropping Coin". Here's a quick update on that project. After a delay/pause, I reached out to the speaker from the conference regarding the project. It's been a slow roll, but now I'm building multiple concepts and tracking down production quotes. If things go through, this may be … Continue reading More coin… →

Those keeping watch….

Please remember those watching over us this Christmas, so we can stay safe. They are away from family, often in harm's way. We enjoy a silent night, though our military, fire, police, ems, dispatchers, and corrections will likely not.

Have design, will…..desire?

Being a self-guided designer has the upside of allowing me to design what I like and want to focus on. The downside: trying to find a market or outlet for those designs. This is something I struggle with at times. I have plenty of spur-of-the-moment ideas that I might quickly draft out. Then they sit … Continue reading Have design, will…..desire? →

Flying Monkey Jersey

Yes, more jerseys. This time, I'm sending the flying monkeys. Used most of the flying monkey patch design with some re-arrangement. The #39 alludes to the year Wizard of Oz was released in theaters. "Nikko" comes from the books, as the name for the head monkey. I also used a font derived from the first … Continue reading Flying Monkey Jersey →

All a Twitter…

And your little…flying monkey…too

Revisiting the flying monkey concept. Thought I'd play round with more bat-like wings instead of the more bird-like of the original. Also gives me a chance to work with different wing types. Might also work this into a jersey concept at some point as well. Bat-like Flying Monkey Concepts

They answered the call, whether it was voluntary or not, and gave what they could. Many returned home, but some of my military family did not, physically or mentally. … Continue reading Veterans Day →

More Jerseys – Data Monkey and Area 51

Yes, more tinkering. I will often latch onto a theme/concept and work different variations as things pop in my mind. Tonight's results are more variations on both the Data Monkey and Area 51 jerseys. Mostly color changes, but other changes can be thrown in. Variation on the Data Monkey design, using colors from a Midwestern … Continue reading More Jerseys – Data Monkey and Area 51 →

More Jerseys – Area 51

Just in time for Halloween: Area 51 jerseys! Took the basic form of the Data Monkey Jersey and tried giving it the Area 51 twist. Maybe they could play the Las Vegas team... As with Data Monkey, colors and fonts came from the patch. Area 51 hockey jersey

Sports Monkey, 2nd Period

I often keep tinkering with designs, sometimes right after I create a post or send it to someone to look at. The jersey design is no different. After closing things down for the night, I had the thought about using binary for the player number instead of a regular Roman numerals (the whole data thing). … Continue reading Sports Monkey, 2nd Period →
