Open for Business

It’s time to finally pull the trigger and push out one of the multiple - and I do mean multiple - projects I have been working on for some time now. And that project is my own t­shirt shop!

Simply put I have been wanting do something like this since my senior year of high school when my honor society asked me to design t­shirts for the all of the students. It was such a big rush that after high school I would come up with dozens of designs and slogans. But I was broke and clueless of the design process. I did not have any clue on how to get them onto my computer let alone, color separation, pricing, printing, etc etc. Then came my love for comics, concept art and a plethora of the happy and awesome distractions that took up

some time.

But my passion for this wouldn’t die. Some time around the end of my college career I caught the bug for graphic design again. And my passion for t­shirt design would often come back to the surface. Every so often I would sketch out an idea or create a mock­up in Illustrator or Photoshop for the hell of it. I began building on ideas and drawing on inspiration from life as well as comics, music (Hip­Hop for the most part), artistic subcultures, and so much more.

As I began showing them off privately, my passion for this grew even stronger. Well, technology and the internet have finally caught up with my laziness and I can finally put my t­shirts online the way I want to. So I am proud to say that:

CLASSICBLAQUE’s is open for business.

Check of the the shop.  Got more to come.

Fresh Fifteen (7/15) Fly Sky High

Well here is another one in the long (15 to be exact) of new poster and designs I created. I am not sure is this one was lyrics from song that caught my attention or just the phrase in general.

More on the way.

Fresh Fifteen (4/15) I'm an 80's Baby

Almost did make it this week. Been really Busy for my and part of me loves and part of me hates it. But hat is the life I choose. So I wanted to post the next in the line of Of My fresh fifteen.

So this time I was playing around with a tutorial from the good folks at abduzeedo.com/, I think this site and PSDtuts.com was the first design site I start looking at when I got serious about the form. So I wanted to do some retro and decided on this one.



More on the way.

Fresh Fifteen (2/15)

So here is the second of 15




I know, I know this effect was created by some one else and it has a tutorial some where online. An for this piece I followed that tutorial. And if I could remember where I saw it, I would give them credit. However, like I said in the beginning of this little event I am not here to expand my viewership only to expand my horizons as an artist and designer.

So Enjoy the real Fresh shit will start soon I promise.

Blaque.

Fresh Fifteen (1/15)

So I have been clamoring to my friends and associates about this project I have been undertaking for some time now. And it kinda of my New Year Resolution to push my art work out there more that I ever had before.

So over the last month and a half I been grinding out 15 new pieces that I would normally not do. This exercise was not getting more views as some detractors might say, but stepping outside of my comfort zone and stepping up my artistic ability as well as my design skills.

So I don't keep on talking and babbling I want to start of with the first piece dedicated a legend in the Rock Industry and one of two legends that share my birthday.

Jimi Hendrix



I am spreading this pieces out all over the web along all of my Social and artistic Networking site

As the title states this is only the first one fourteen more to go.

So please stay tuned.
