JRPomazon's Scott PIlgrim Tee Shirt Designs vs. The World

Welovefine.com was having a Scott Pilgrim tee shirt design contest, with the celebrity judges and the cash prizes. I couldn't resist. So, I decided to throw caution to the wind and create my own batch of designs. I thought I would continue with the same methods I used for the Wizard of Oz illustration show piece since that turned out well for me. After two weeks of pulling my hair out, gathering materials to use for reference, rereading the comic series, watching the movie, and actually making the designs and planning what kind of shirt to put them on, I finally, finally, finally finished two very fun designs.

The unfortunate thing is that when I went to submit the samples to the website, it seems that the colors got washed out when they decided to put them on their website and now I fear that I'll need to take action in order to secure what chance I had with these designs of winning any sort of mention. But at least, somewhere on this vast sea of electronic aether and magic, these designs are being shown properly and in true color. Wish me luck, I'll be posting/spamming the contest when it begins sometime next month.

Pinstripe 23 - Threadless

So I thought I would try to give threadless another shot and I decided to work with an earlier design from the summer. If you look back a little,  you might see that 23 on a pair of headphones that made it all the way to the final stages of the Skullcandy Aviator headphone competition last summer. I wanted to see what I could do with the design and so I ended up making this. It's currently up for votes and if you happen to have a moment to spare, any positive input would be greatly appreciated. 

Follow this link to see.

As for other work, especially my on going series and projects like the "Plastic Beach" images, well to be honest I have done little to nothing with those. It's not that I have forgotten they are there, it's just that I've begun to lose motivation to bother with them. It's a shame really, because I was hoping to have these images completed one year ago. Despite certain personal setbacks, I'll at least finish most of them . . . if not all.

Pinstripe 23 Update and other News!

Remember these? Well these bad boys just made the cut for the Skullcandy Aviator Headphone Design contest! There were nearly 40+ pages of entries, some of them great and others not so much but man, these made it to the remaining 13 pages of designs! The alternate design I made, Obsidian Streaks, did not manage to clinch it but to be fair I didn't know where I was going with that to begin with.

ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP PLAN

So if you, the humble reader, would be so kind as to vote for this design I would become a small step closer to becoming the happiest 22 year old in the whole wide world. No lie, I would be really grateful for any support. There is a catch though. Need to do it via facebook and let them do that whole information thing. But the good news is that you can vote once a day on three different designs once you do. But I must remind you, the title of happiest 22 year old is on the line here.

In other news, did I mention I graduated college the other week? Yeah, I did that. It was fun, rather enjoyed it. Trying to relax, enjoy my last real summer before becoming a working person in society. Meaning I have time for things now, some of them art and others just self promotion. And then Student Loans. Fun. I recently finished a commision for some very lovely people and will post some images of that in a later post.

I think this might just be one of the greatest summers of my life. And the good news? It's only just started.
