Weekly Works is an ongoing selection of personal work. Most times for fun and experimentation. Usually created late night after obsessing over some tv show, comic, video game, song, artist or movie.

The Detroit Tigers just beat the New York Yankees in the post season. While I may not be the biggest sports fan, I will always root for my home teams. The Tigers "D" logo is a classic and an excellent excuse to bust out my copic wide marker. Go Tigers!

I couldn't stop listening to "Still" by JJ tonight. It's a nice and stoney cover of "Still D.R.E" by none other than Dr. Dre and Snoop.

Neil deGrasse Tyson has become more and more visible and outspoken these days. He's one of my favorite astrophysicist and champions of science. I believe the most important thing I ever learned in school was the scientific method, it's a good way to approach all unknowns in life. It encourages us to explore and dream. Dr. Tyson has a rare talent for communicating astronomical ideas in science with relevance and aproachability. A perfectly capable successor to the late great Carl Sagan.

I love graphic design and owe a lot of my life to it, however sometimes I wish I could gaze upon the world without having to visually deconstruct it. After formally learning about graphic design it became near impossible to unsee what lies beneath all design. The closest thing I can compare it to is when I started skateboarding, I couldn't help seeing skate lines everywhere I looked. I'm sure this experience crosses many forms of art and creativity.

If you've been on Turntable.fm then you probably recognize this little guy. Lately my friends and I have been DJing for each other through the site. After hours of searching for songs and jokes I start to feel like our little wobble-headed ginger friend here. I think we all descided no matter how many points we rack up, we're going to stick with this avatar.

This spring Design Is Love hosted another of their Design Fund projects. The contest was to design a poster with an "Outer Space" theme. The cool part was the winning design would be screen printed using a choice of 2 inks and 1 paper color. I chose the black speckle tone paper with a metallic gold and a white ink. I may make this available on my society6 page for purchase but I really think it works best with the ink and paper combo.
I'm definitely going to pick up a print of the winning poster for myself as well.

After messing around with my wide lettering marker last night I couldn't resist throwing this together. I always gravitate towards the look of physical design processes like hand lettering or print making. The imperfections and texture help it feel tangible and human.

After telling a story of human cannibalism to survive the cold beyond the ice wall, Thorne mutters this chilling line.

I'm pretty stoked on all the wolves in this show. I have a couple episodes to catch up on since michelle was out of town. More on the way.
