Student Leadership Shirt Design

This is the stuff I'd been using to promote Student Leadership.

The student minister asked for a student leadership shirt for his kids. I had been using an optical flare and some shiny metallic text to promote it and he said that's the look he wanted for the shirt, but I didn't believe it would translate well - besides it would cost a pretty penny.

Here's the whole shirt design

After a few shots in the dark and showing him several samples of shirt designs I found online, he said he liked the idea of words building words and gave me a concept to run with.

Once I got into the thick of things, I realized that I am not good at fitting words within a letter shaped container. The sample I was studying looked so much nicer and oh, so much more refined than mine ended up looking like - that's probably because that designer started with only five letter shapes to fill with synonyms. Anyway, I did finally come to a point where I decided the artwork was "done," but it was painful to send that proof off because what I wanted to do was start over from scratch. I learened a lot about the process but just didn't have any more time I could spend on that one project.

What do you think about my final? Did I really ruin it?

"Follow Me as I Follow Christ" - boy, does that need work!

Sculpture: Man's Face and a Hand

I've been watching a lot of Ace of Clay on Youtube recently and really wanted to try some of his techniques but I wasn't at home that day. Dad has some super soft stanky clay that he uses to work out some of his carvings and so I got into that this week. Maybe it's time to pull out my sculpture stuff again. Really do miss it - I enjoy that more than I do writing or drawing or... probably even eating LOL Anyway... this clay was really soft stuff and it was hard to keep from smashing it or doing any real detail work - I mean, look at those ears HA!

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags. If you're interested in seeing some of her side-hustle goods, check out her facebook page .
