I recently pulled together a few older t-shirt designs that I figure would be worth a look. These few shirts were designed somewhere between 2008 and 2010 for bands, MMA/Muay Thai camps and boutique t-shirt retailers.

This site was created a in 2009 when this band was still around. I played guitar. We all had fun, and while it was active this site was cool site. It was a pretty simple WordPress blog, simple site design with TinyMCE post templates and fun gig calendar. Nuf said.

R.I.P. Paramedic!

This is a project I worked on while at DelphicSage. I didn’t have a lot to do with the initial design but I was responsible for 100% of the front-end development and production design. I think it’s worth calling out my development on the home page JQuery application.

When you click around the site you quickly see this client wasn’t necessarily stylistically sophisticated, but we gave them a pretty nice site full of text editor styles, templates and other TinyMCE goodies. Check out the bottom of this page. The ‘READ MORE’ blocks are actually editable TinyMCE templates that the client can add anywhere in their content.

Overall, this was a pretty simple site with a solid construction, very few server request and petite style sheet. The client walked away happy. This is one of the first of many projects project that uses Umbraco (an ASP.NET CMS platform).

I can be honest. I made this site as a christmas gift for my dad, who happens to own a beach house in Puerto Rico. Initially, I didn’t have that much to go on so the content is slim. I tried to use this lack of site material as an asset and featured images as eye candy. Hopefully propelling it past the natural stigma attached to a single-page site.

The full-screen rotating background worked out pretty well thanks to the Supersized plugin. Title’s are using the Google Web Font API and Colorbox Jquery plugin for image gallery.

Since this is a WordPress driven site I though it would be easy to train my dad and his wife on how to update the content. It wasn’t that bad. They took to WordPress pretty quickly.  I found that, as long as I constrained their access to nearly everything in the back-end, they wouldn’t be overwhelmed.

So far, the site is doing pretty well for them. Business cards are on the way.

Listen here: No Sleep Spot

This is a song I was hired to write and record for a beer comercial. From concept to deliverable, this took 13 hours… stared at 7pm and finished at 11:59am the next morning. No sleep.

This started when my good pal, Clint Woodside, texted me at 8pm asking if I was up for a challenge. Long story short, he wanted to know if it was possible for me to gather some musicians, write, record, mix, produce and master a punk cover of Rebel Yell by Billy Idol by the next morning.

I said yes, called people and started recording at 1am. Eleven hours later we sent this version to clint in LA. Zero sleep. Lots of coffee. Good Times.

When I was asked to submit a piece for group show with an ‘Occupy’ theme, of course my brain went directly to 80′s pro wrestling. Obviously, The Milliondollar Man represents the 1% that the occupy movement is looking call out, so I figured if he (MDM) was still around, he would cut an amazing heel promo on the subject.

Show was held at The GreenLine Cafe in west Philadelphia and was curated by the amazing Ketch Wehr.

I play on an intramural indoor soccer team called Team SWIX. We’ve been a team for about 5 years and at the end of each year I host a team spagetti dinner at my house. This year Gabe (team mate) and I made some DIY trophies. All supplies were bought from AC Moore.

Process:

• Spray painted glass tea candle holders, gold.
• Stained the wooden bases.
• Hot glued the cups to bases.
• Added soccer ball sticker detail to the inside of cup.
• Added puffy glitter letters to base

Two-color (black and gold) t-shirt for a nerdy StarWars podcast called Star Wars in Character.

During the podcast, one of the personalities described a t-shirt they wanted… so I design it for them. Easy as that. Hopefully they ship me a free shirt.
