FRIDAY ART (late): Wade Bowen Tee

Kevin — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:15:49 +0000

My favorite things to draw and paint are silly colors and bright characters. I can doodle fun stuff all day long but unfortunately I don’t get paid to do that, or at least not yet So my 9-5 is at a screen print shop called East End Ink. My duties include creating and recreating t-shirt and vehicle graphics, proofing artwork, color separating files, etc. Not always the fun-nest work but it pays the bills. We print all types of artwork for schools, organizations, bands, and my favorite… fraternities and sororities… they always know what they want.

So recently an order came across my desk to create some Affliction styled artwork for Texas Country Music singer Wade Bowen using just one color and including a guitar and some crosses. I used to freak out with orders like this but I’ve realized that with the right research and enough vellum I can tackle just about any request.

Behold the Wade Bowen Guitar and Crosses graphic mocked up on a V-neck. Doesn’t it just make you want to jump in the octagon and beat people up and stuff like that?

There has been a lot going on lately. Here is an illustration that helped me cope with stuff today. Enjoy the drawing and your weekends.

Here is a chubby dude I was pretty happy with. My favorite drawings are the ones I make with my trusty lumber crayon.

FRIDAY ART: Take that television!!

I made this comic strip today. To make it look like I wasn’t showing you guys ANOTHER undeveloped sketch I gave it this sweet old vignette look. Did I fool ya? I may just develop this and submit it to some comic strip jury somewhere… or… I may just forget.

Make more, consume less.

Also, I’ve been pretty busy but have finished a few more sheets of letters I’ll post them when I get a chance. For now check out my buddy Ramsey’s sweet lettering here. If that’s not enough check out this sweet pinstripe lettering action by House Industries. THAT is how lettering is done. Happy Friday!!

Here’s a drawing I did today. I want to actually develop this one. I just got some new gouache paints that I’m really excited to use so we’ll see how that goes.

I SHOULD be posting stuff I do everyday, but I’m not. Hopefully this new “Friday Art” thing will get me to post more. My buddy Daniel gave me these post office labels and I drew on them… Now I will beautify the city with them.
