Spouse Command. The true command that many servicemembers and others who serve overseas ultimately report to. This design grew out of a tongue-in-cheek reference I've used before and others have alluded to. As a result of a recent discussion, I whipped this patch/logo design up to commemorate those who are 'members' of SPOUSECOM. CINCHOUSE = … Continue reading Spouse Command
My son is a railfan, to put things mildly. I've thought for awhile about creating a custom livery for him, but hadn't gotten around to it. Well, the other day I sketched out a concept and fired up Inkscape. After a few tweaks here and there, I finally had a logo/livery he liked. Rail Livery … Continue reading Rail Livery
You often hear about 'operators'...mostly wannabes. In the military, there are many nicknames for them depending on where they are. One of them is "chairborne ranger," a play on "airborne ranger." I recently picked up a couple of "chairborne ranger" patches to add to my collection. It also sparked a though about a naval version … Continue reading Yeah, I operate… (naval version)
A friend of mine who runs a local screen printing business (Muddy River Ink) inspired this one. He recently printed some "quarantine and chill" shirts, which sparked an idea for me. In these trying times, humor sometimes does help break the dreary stay-at-home life. So, in that vein, remember to Quarantine and Chill.

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…

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
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
Today was Jeans and Jerseys day at my day job. So, sitting at my computer this evening with my Irish beer-themed hockey jersey on, I decided to crank out a Data Monkey-themed jersey design. Found a nice mockup of a jersey, built a vector version of it, then laid out a quick design. Colors came … Continue reading Monkey Sports
