I’ve been a way from the blog since our Wet Dog Kickstarter project was running  now I’m very busy this week printing up all the limited edition prints due to our successful funding of the project.  I have to print up over 100 prints by hand on rage weed stock using seven different block designs.  I will post a picture soon of the process and which are the most popular prints from the project.  Check out the project here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wetdog/project-wet-dog

We’re very excited about launching this outdoor line of apparel using my block print art.  I look forward to comments on the art.

Tweaking the art

I thought I was finished with this design then I started to tweak the art in Photoshop and added some text so the it didn’t look so square.  So let me know what you think.

I went to the printer the other day and got some quotes on silkscreen printing and it looks like they will work with me on making these actually happen.   I plan on finishing the www.kickstarter. com video (will post it when finished) this week then will post the invite to join in on the campaign for pledging to make this a reality.  Comment please I want to hear folks critique.

Sup dog, I’m finished with you.

Whew, after 8 hours of sketching, drawing, cutting, and pulling three proofs i finished the SUP design (stand up paddle board).  The water gave me quite a challenge on this one, but I think perseverance and knowing that the out come will somehow be good all helped me nail it.   It evolved quite a bit from what I was thinking in my head when I first came up with the sketches.  Comments and likes are definitely appreciated on this one.
