Listener Band Sticker

I was recently asked by the frontman of the band Listener, Dan Smith, to design a new sticker for their upcoming tour. The band has recently grown to three members, and he asked if I could do a spoof on the popular Pep Boys logo, with the faces resembling the three band members.

I met Dan a number of years ago, and love every chance I get to work with him. Listener has a new album, Time is a Machine, coming out very soon, so keep an eye out on this website for tour dates and release dates:

This is a very talented group of guys.

P.S. Here is a recent photo tweeted by the Listener guys, of a one-color version of the sticker in use!

Knit Together Photography

Here's a recent logo I did for a couple in South Africa, Brent and Nicola, that are starting their own wedding photography business. I had the pleasure of becoming friends with Brent during my S'African trip last Summer. He let my friends and me crash at his place in Cape Town for a week, and was a better tour guide than we could have possibly asked for. He showed us one of the best weeks of our lives, and Cape Town and Brent have a special place in my heart.

Brent and Nicola are setting up a website for the business now, and from what I have seen of their photography, they are going to take the scene by storm.

Grey Bird Design

Here's a recent logo I made for a super cool friend of mine in South Africa. It was a nice time working on this logo. A fan of my work, he wanted to leave the design up to me. To get my inspiration flowing, he told me he was a big fan of traditional archery and printmaking, and I already knew that he was a fan of my hand lettering, specifically my "Thank Ya Kindly" design.

Combining the feel of the cursive-hand-written-script style of 'Thank Ya Kindly", printmaking, and archery, plus the name "Grey Bird Design", produced the logo below. Lots of fun.

I also wanted to provide a black and white version of the logo. This will come in handy any time he needs to print one-color, or make a water mark or engraving.

Here is sort of a primitive step-by-step process of how I came about drawing and designing the type for the logo. First step is a pencil sketch, second step is inking the type by hand, third is making a vector drawing of the type in Illustrator, and finally sprucing it up in Photoshop.

And finally, here is look into the process of making the wee bird:
