Here is another painting I did back in college. I can’t really explain what is going on. Not sure why the lion riding a skateboard in front of flames is holding a Bible. I have no idea why I name this painting Talk About Squawk. Anyway, it is the drawing of the day.
The drawing of the day for 2/27/11 is an album cover I made back in 1995 for the premier album of my old band called The Ass.
The guy is Brandon Lee as The Crow. We sang a song about him. We also sang a song about Robocop, which explains the Robo-donkey-cop. I was trying to do this in the Drew Struzan movie poster style. This is a poor photo of it, I think I have a decent scan that I could find/didn’t bother looking for. By the way, we weren’t a “real” band, and recently, I was made aware that there is a “real” band calling itself The Ass. They are probably much better than we were.
As a way to be able to bring you more designs and more product options, I have decided to open up a Donkeyshines sister store, which I am calling Donkeyshines Jr. This store is powered by Spreadshirt, which is a print-on-demand site. One of the pros of POD’s is that you can make almost an unlimited number of products with virtually no initial cost to the designer. There are some compromises that have to be made with this type of set-up. For one, I definitely make less money per shirt. This is fine with me, as it is worth it to be able to offer many varieties of products without having to worry about which colors and styles will be most popular. I can literally make something for everyone when it comes down to it. Another disadvantage, though, is that POD’s can’t offer screen printing. However, the reason I chose Spreadshirt over the other POD sites is that they offer a really nice alternative, called flex printing. This will be good for new one or two color designs. They also order digital direct printing, which is a noticeable improvement to transfers. With digital direct, I can offer designs with unlimited numbers of colors. I don’t want to go too much into details with the printing techniques, but I am overall pretty excited about this new store. I love the arrangement I have with Printmojo, and Donkeyshines will still be my main site, but I am happy to be able to expand. Here is a new design I just added to Donkeyshines Jr. yesterday.
Te drawing of the day for 2/24/11 is a sketch I did of Stallone in about 3 minutes.
I made this illustration for an article I wrote describing a dream I had last night about a new Rocky movie that was being made. Rocky fights a Leprechaun. Read the whole article.
I promise, this is the last one of these I’ll post as the drawing of the day…2/23/11
Drawing of the day for 2/22/11 is my latest t-shirt design. I decided that, since I was born in the Year of the Rabbit, I would make a t-shirt that had a rabbit on it. Look for this design to be available soon. There will also be a big Donkeyshines announcement soon, so stay tuned.
Drawing of the Day for 2/21/11 is one more of those cell phone illustrations.
Drawing of the day for 2/20/11 is another illustration from the cell phone project.
And for 2/19/11, we’re back to that cell phone presentation with the drawing of the day.
