Projects

Alright, I've been a little remiss at posting some new work up haven't I? It's been a bit chaotic lately as you can probably detect with some of the ranting tones of my posts lately. I suppose that normal, I need to go caveman sometimes and grunt here and there each year to let off some steam.

Have I been working? Sure! Here's a couple of things I've been delayed on posting:

AbeNak International Business Cards.

Lowe Studio LLC 1st Anniversary Postcards

It took me a while to come up with something I wanted to use for my postcards. While I DID want to do something that had a WOW factor involved in it, reason prevailed this time and I opted to go a little conservative this time around and just do this tiny little postcard as my anniversary project. I figured hand-writting some thank-yous to my friends and clients would be a simple & respectful affair this time around.

But I must have gone through about 2 or 3 concepts, I think my fiancee bore the brunt of my indecision. She just about saw everything I did, helped give her opinion one night...only to find me completely scrap it the next day and try another.

Finally, I opted to try on this illustration. The concept I wanted to use was the fact that I thought of my little business as a little tree that's finally taken on a little roots this year and starting to bloom. So the tree and leaves represent my business and clients, while the roots represent all the experiences I got this last year to help my "tree" grow.

Yeah it's a little strong on the metaphor, but I like what it means to me. I'm not sure how many people caught on to the fact the roots form the word "Growth". My buddy Derrin just kind of looked at the tree for a second and hardly noticed. hehe.

Just for the fun of it, I have tshirts for guys and gals available in my store if anyone just likes the design. Nice little thing to kick off the 2nd years for by business. It doesn't say my business name anywhere on it though. Yeah, not a good promotion piece but I just wanted a shirt without all that marketing stuff in the way. If I spot this on someone that will be pretty cool.

I'm currently working on a few projects. Without revealing too much details I can say I got a fish, a dog, and a handbag project coming soon. Yes...........weird collection huh?
