This week, I combined the subject of dessert with the method of game to create Coffeehouse Tarot Cards. I was primarily interested in really capturing a certain aesthetic--I wanted the viewer to smell the coffee grounds as they held the cards, and I think I was successful. I used instant coffee as the medium on the illustrations, and created the vectored back design in Illustrator. 

I know it’s a few days late, but my project this week was creating dinosaur valentines. I wanted to combine comic book style illustrations with candy colors and, of course, puns to create this series. 

LIVE INTERVIEW TODAY AT 11:30am! With Mark Brickey from Adventures in Design! See you at the DesignerCon Main Performance Stage! THE ARTIST IS PRESENT! It’s been over two years since doing a live talk. I wonder what we will discuss? Maybe I’ll draw through the interview and we’ll auction the art off afterwards? @markbrickey #adventuresindesign @designercon #designercon #dcon @hijinxarts @3dretro #garybaseman #baseman Then after, let’s all go to my Booth 1120 to play with our new Groucho Ahwroos and Flat Tobys!

A few weeks back ( during @DESIGNERCON ) @MarkBrickey interviewed me for his killer #podcast @aidpodcast #ADVENTURESINDESIGN ! . You can listen to it HERE!! https://bit.ly/2LRGzZ2 And then you can SIGN UP FOR MY #NEWSLETTER!!! Cuz Mark said so! Also please FOLLOW @aidpodcast. If you’re an artist or designer - you’ll dig it. . LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF THE INTERVIEW!!!! . I stole the rest of this post from their website: ”We catch up on Brian after hitting reset on his wild big city lifestyle and relocating to Columbus, Ohio, where Ewing settled down by becoming a tattoo artist. Every artist is searching for a signature style, but what happens when you become bored with what made you famous? In The Circle Of Trust Brian has probably the best newsletter of any artist going today. We explore how he's crafted this diary that he shares with his fans, followers, and friends. Learning the fine art of letting go of the numbers of life and getting back to living.” #theirwordsnotmine . . . . . #aidpodcast #markbrickey #interview #illustration #design #tattoo #tattooapprentice #rockposters #emo #darkartists #lineart #details #screenprint #skulls #artprint #alternativemovieposter @capsulesbook #editorialillustration #comicbookcover #inking #portrait #designercon #circleoftrust #brianewing #brianewingfiendclub #theecircleoftrust (at Designercon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Bviaml28X/?igshid=83dszhpm98ap

Was psyched to listen to the @aidpodcast today with the world heavyweight champion of art Jeral Tidwell @artboytidwell and get some inspiration and pumped up that I needed and I was not let down. I even wore this old worn out rad shirt for the occasion. Lol. Good ways of thinking about what we do for sure. 🤘🏻 #adventuresindesign @markbrickey #markbrickey #jeraltidwell #humantree #artboytidwell #badassart #badassartist #motivationalspeaker #painter #illustrator #drawing #designpodcast #podcastshow #flyingeyeball #illustration #poster #gigart #gigposters https://www.instagram.com/p/BvfGShshMxM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gfw8p99ipig8

I'm on Adventures In Design podcast discussing the creation of Gritty!!! I'm truly humbled to be one of the guests on this show. My art heroes have all been a part of this show, and I've learned so much from it. Pretty surreal to be on the other side. Please give it a listen, and subscribe to Mark's show - it's the most informative and enjoyable design podcast period. https://bit.ly/2D5pFU4 . . . . #philadelphiaflyers @grittynhl #nhl #hockey #aid #adventuresindesign #podcast #characterdesign #mascotdesign #circleoftrust https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXceEtBQLV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m0l9zd4st7yg
