Killer Praying Hands 2

The praying hands 2 shirt is a redesign of a shirt I did for Killer a few years back. The original was a single colour print and did very well for the brand. As it had been run for a few seasons they asked me to change it up a bit so that it still looked fresh in the range. I added bright colours as per the rest of the shirts in the new range, and then cleaned up the line work as well. I also added the roses around the hands which framed then and allowed me to add more colour. The changes gave the design a fresh look and helped it fit back into the current range.

Killer Panther Shirt

This was another tattoo inspired graphic I did for Killer Ltd. Their projects are always fun to work on as the subject material is always open, and the brand identity allows you to explore some interesting subject matter. As always I incorporated the Killer dagger icon into the image and used bright colours to contrast against the classic tattoo styled panther.

Killer Hot Rod shirt

This is an illustration I did for Killer Ltd’s latest range. Ive been wanting to do a Hot Rod illustration for some time, so when the brief for the new range came along it fitted in perfectly with their “Live Fast Die Young” theme. I chose to use red, black, and white for the print as they are classic hot rod colours, as well as complimenting these colours with classic pin striping in the background. The car its self was based off of a classic bucket styled rat rod, and I used the Killer dagger icon on the doors.

Deadliest Journeys

I was asked to design a title logo for an upcoming TV show called “Deadliest Journeys”. The show goes through a series of the worlds most dangerous journeys on land and sea, and covers trips both taken on foot and via vehicle. I was asked to use a font that was strong, and could communicate the “epic” nature of the show. I then chose to use geographical lines inside the font to emphasise that these journeys were rough and off the beaten path. I also contrasted the metallic finish of the font against organic background textures showing that the journeys involved both machines and rural means of transport. Finally I added a stamp styled sub heading where the editors could add the names of each episode.

After I handed over the logo to the production guys they animated it so that they could use it in the titles. Im pretty stoked with what they did, and cant wait to see this show on air!

Verb print ad

This is the first print ad for Verb for an upcoming issue of Session Skate Mag. Verb is a new brand in the RSS stable that revolves around skate, music, and art. The idea here was to keep the colours vibrant and fresh so we processed the pics with high contrast and saturation. The focus of all the ads going forward will be on the people involved as they define the brand. Simon Stipcich is a skater on the team and he was the subject for this ad. A simple line of copy highlighting his character (and in turn reflect what the brand is about) finished off the ad. “Simon Stipcich: Skateboarder, creative thinker, aspiring hippie, pushing forward.”
