Sneaking things in here and there

Just got back from California. More on that in another series of posts. Coming back to NYC is something I really like, even though it can be a little weird; you don’t always notice the changes that occur when you’re gone. Feels the same, but a store has closed or a scaffolding got put up or taken down while you were out. I was gone two weeks, and everything seems the same.

Anyway, I thought I’d share some things that I had done that are creeping into the public at the moment…

Here’s that FLOW poster I was working on a few months back. (That link, by the way, will take you to the Apple movie trailer website, where some genius removed the white border from the graphic. Thanks.)

Walking past the Burton Store in Soho, I spotted a backpack with a pattern I had designed for them almost two years ago now - such lead time, it’s crazy. Nothing under my name (although that would be dope, Burton, you have my info if you want to get clever together), just some freelance work for the uber-cool Anoosha, who I haven’t seen for a while, so I don’t even know if she’s there any longer. The pattern is a camo made up of various halftones and they printed it in a pretty cool medium grey. Nice. Unfortunately for the waning numbers of camo-loving dudes out there, like myself, it’s only for the women’s line. I spied the jacket through the window as well, flickage commenced:

And, finally, the Panda Skull Shirt traverses time and leaves me in the dust:stargatepanda.jpg

I was contacted by a producer for Stargate: Atlantis many moons ago about usage of one of my t-shirt designs in one of the episodes (turns out to be Episode 6 from this season, The Shrine). I love that sort of thing (although I don’t really watch Stargate; I’m more of a Battlestar Galactica guy), so of course I agreed to allow it. I checked it out and there it was, the Panda Skull shirt I had done for 2K a few years back. I can only hope that people in the actual distant future will be wearing t-shirts I’ve designed.
