SXSW Goods for Hashrocket & Cliqset
Posted by admin | Filed under Friendspiration, News and Updates, Posters
So even though Halftone Def didn’t grace SXSW with our physical presence this year, we will be there in limited edition design. Our good buddy Dennis from Thought & Theory and currently HASHROCKET hit Halftone Def up to do a limited run poster for them to hand out to a select few at SXSW and The good Folks at CLIQSET also hit Halftone Def up about a month back to make a VOLTRON inspired shirt for them to hand out. We didn’t print these though thank gawd, as you can see they were pretty complex with lots of colors and they were a run of 200. But thanks to Dan @Vivid Images we got that part handled! Until next SXSW next year -TRON OUT!
AIGA Summertime Poster – Tim Armstrong
Posted by admin | Filed under Art Shows & Events, Posters
Here’s my version two of my AIGA SUMMERTIME poster for the show this weekend at the Jacksonville Landing. I say version two because my first attempt was a stenciled type poster that didn’t go exactly as planned and then I totally ruined it trying to fix it so this is what I can up with the day before the poster was due. I have been dying to start doing Illustrations of old cars that I love and tying it into some new vector style with a little bit of that old “owners manual” style of design.
I chose this song and car style because this summer my friend Ryan @autoline let me take this Fire Red 63 Imapala with chrome spoke daytons for the weekend to the Turkey Rod Run in the Daytona Speedway and It pretty much made my summer. I don’t think I have ever been that excited to drive a car. I got up a 4 am just so I could drive it while the sun was coming up. @thecrobar and I were laid up in that thing like a couple of gangsters all weekend. The looks you get driving that thing around are pretty awesome and I almost bought it, but I would still rather have something with a little more muscle look than gangster. And I chose the song because thats the cd I listened to the whole time driving it. Tim Armstrong’s solo album “A Poets Life” is an awesome dub style cd, check it out if you have a chance or watch the video below and you’ll see the car inspiration. I also like that the song title was “Wake Up” because the people need to realize the 63′ is just as rad as a 64′.
Also, props to Jax AIGA | Patrick Carter | Thought & Theory for putting together this awesome event!
The Manstache – Poster for BEARDS & BRUSHES
Posted by admin | Filed under Posters
So this is a cool piece that I did in collaboration with local photographer JENSEN HANDE after seeing this epic “Manstache” photo of himself on his portfolio site. After running across this image, I contacted Jensen about wanting to do this illustration because of the immense detail in the photograph and how well these type of shots lend themselves to making rad illustrations. I knew that I could take what Jensen had done with showing the detail in the stache itself and flip in my own way and simplify the hair and show more detail on the lips and skin in a very simplified way that would translate into a very clean 2-3 color screen print. I’m pretty stoked about how it came out and the colors are a little different than my usual but the skin tones just kinda found there way on there and stuck. Thanks to Jensen for the opportunity and I can’t wait to print them.

Save “My Name is Earl” Poster Camaign
Posted by admin | Filed under Posters
So for the last couple of days, I have been working on a Series of posters about men with epic Mustache’s. And It just so happened that while I was working on Earl ( Jason Lee ) I saw on twitter that “My Name Is Earl” my favorite show, had been canceled via @WilfridDierkes aka MNIE show creator Greg Garcia. Needless to say I was Pissed! After more investigation, I found out that ABC or FOX might be interested in the show and that they had created a twitter petition @earltwitition which is quit possibly the first of its kind. So being the huge fan I am, I took which was the weirdest coincidence ever, and turned it into a SAVE EARL poster to try and help. If you watch the show its all about Earl’s list of things he has done wrong in his life and is trying to fix one by one. Which is why I chose to present the illustration on Yellow Crumpled up paper. Turned out pretty good I think on such short notice. For once I was ahead of the eight ball and I’m not gonna let it get away. So here it is, DOWNLOAD IT, Print copies and post it around the office and most importantly the web. Greg Garcia (Show Creator) is sending every tweet and re-tweet to NBC, ABC, and FOX in hopes of turning the tide. And hopefully, he will be stoked when he see’s the direct message from twitter with the link to this poster in it… cross your fingers and hope he is stoked. Over and Out… TRON.

FREE BEER poster Collaboration
Posted by admin | Filed under Posters, Printing Press
So a couple a weeks ago, Mike Barnhardt (Illustration Mastermind) walked by my desk and handed me a pencil sketch on some transparency of this beer label. Iwas blown away and Mike said he was never going to do anything with because ten years had past and he hadn’t yet, so he told me to have my way with it and heres what I did. Working on projects like this with no timeline and having the outline are awesome because it lets you concentrate on the color scheme, details and elaborations in much more detail. I didn’t have to change very much aside from the Eagle and just adding little icons here and there, but It came out awesome if I do say myself! Thanks MB for the Opportunity. Check out the Sketch below.
