Spideriffic Hacker Tee
I just finished a tee for the upcoming Defcon hacker convention. It was a fun project where I was afforded a lot of creative freedom. The end result is a tee I’m really proud of. There’s a killer spider, a “web” (Get it? Har!), and some hand lettering. What’s not to like?
I initially offered three quick thumbnails, seen below. After those, there’s some process, too:
Process:
I’d have posted sooner, but I’ve been busier than all get out. I was the featured portfolio on Coroflot for a long spell (screenshot below) and I got a heap of business as a result. If you haven’t signed up, I recommend it. It’s free and it works!
In addition to Coroflot, I’m going to be signing up for The iSpot. I’ve heard good things from friends and, well, you don’t make money without spending it first. Between the postcards, iSpot, Coroflot and other sites of its ilk, and my own self promotion on the tubes, things are working out. I’m working on an Ex Libris from a comment on this very site, a magazine cover, a children’s book, and some other stuff at the moment. More on that soon!

Sorry I’ve been out of touch, Ray. Been making monsters for the horror play that opens on Sunday. One of the reasons yer getting the work is because yer good at what you do. Your illustrations have a punch and energy to them that make them very appealing to one who would spend money on said illustrations.

Tell me about it. It’s more random than a bag of Dungeons & Dragons dice. :D
