Completely Cubed

Ola!

Thanks for dropping by to check out a new, old, design.
I’ve been on a big creative curve lately to try and publish as much as I can.

So I was going through some old files and came across an attempt to create perfect, symmetric letters of yew. The file was trash, and my skills had improved, so I did some touch ups, straightened some lines, worked with some old and new colour tones.

Each letter is perfect cube, they line up real good, stack real well, and thats about it because at the end of the day it’s just a cube.

some nice yew cubes, some nice colour palettes to boot.

another set of nice yew cubes, tried out some new colour palettes on these bais.

the cubes got into my stash, again. some feathering, blurring and warping mane.

CUBE, CYEWB, CUBA, CYEWBA, KISS MY CHAIN, GANG!

Trippy Mane

made this graphic about two years ago now, always really enjoyed it.

cleaned it up a little and played around with some color schemes, always fun to go back to old designs and polish things up.

was always hoping that this graphic could make it on some apparel, maybe some screen prints over this winter perhaps would be in order, yes, yes, its all coming together now.

anyhow, this was me trying to give ‘YEW’ a tripped out vibe, sort of hit i i thought, kind of spooky too. lil spook, lil steez.

Hand Gestures

Thank yew for stopping by for another edition of a design explanation.

back when i used to be drawing more often, back when i didn’t even know what illustrator was, back when i used to be travelling around, back when i used to be the feller i was then, i was actually sketching quite a bit there then.

any how, back in 2016 i found myself leeching wi-fi at an amazing library in Wellington, New Zealand. back when i was sketching like i was saying earlier, i sketched out a series of common hand gestures. these were quite detailed sketches, maybe something to be proud of yew know? got em all sketched out, and then hit them with some watercolours.

years later, i learned to make vector files and expanded my mind into digital. so these sketches were then imported and rendered and did some cool little edits to the finger nails to void them out. put in a repeated graphic in the background and boom!

here are the sketches and the graphics:

Dankies

Yo!

It’s Thursday, and that means yew get to check out one of my designs.

Aside from shoutin’ out “yew” - one of my favourite things about starting this brand is using it for puns.

It is especially great for spinning off sporting franchises,

Here is one of many to show yew.

I also suppose if yew know me, I don’t mind partaking in da herb mon.

So check out this design I created a while back, I hope it inspires yew to roll a bat and take off.
