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 (8/15) Creative Splash

So I have crossed the half point of the Fresh Fifteen experiment and for the most part it has been a pretty good experience. I have got a lot of positive feedback.

So with that said here is the next one. No tutorials just me and the right side of the brain.

More on the way.

Now planning out the  "NEXT FIFTEEN"

Fresh Fifteen (6/15) Lyrics to Go

Now the real stuff begins. No tutorials, no experiments just the stuff I consider art. I had listen to a lot of old school hip and looking at the latest in 3d typography so I thought to myself why don't I combine the two and make something really fresh or at least new to me.

So a while go, I was going over some ideas and A ATCQ song came on called "LYRICS TO GO" and I thought it was perfect. A little Illustrator and a lot of Photoshop and Textures.

I really loved doing this and this style so expect more a lot more.

Fresh Fifteen (3/15)

Okay, So this update is kinda late as it is has been a one busy week,

Finally got a new job. So things may be getting a little late. Working on a comic book for a client as well as a creating a new web site for another.

So I know this effect has been done before but I wanted to play around with some type as well.



Now that I look at it there is allot I could do with this one. May have to revisit this kind of work in the future.
