Space 39 Modern Art Mondays

Happy Monday Funday Dudes and Girls!  Hope you all had a great weekend, gave at least a few minutes thought to 9/11, and watched a shitload of football and drank beer later that night.

Although today is also a Monday, last Monday I showed my art at Space 39 in Ft. Myers, Florida, along with work shown by sequential & comic artist Banky Farano (http://BankyOne.deviantart.com.  This chick is awesome, do yourself a favor and check out her awesome caricatures, she's truly very talented).

Here's a phone snapshot from Justin V ForVendetta of one side of my table (backed up into the no-car plaza by my one-and-only white mini-van, with flashers and bass pumping of course :p):

The night was a hit; I sold some stuff, networked, got some commissions, and drinks were on the house (loud shout out to the Space 39 staff and bartenders for hooking me up and letting move the whole place around!).

BIG BAT BREW, the finale!

Bonsoir ya'll -here's the finale for the Big Bat Brew!

Black Caps

So those are done!  In other news, my Slow Animal poster won an honorable mention at the Stopover Show, and Julie showed Ralph Steads my quick-job piece, and although he said he hated all the students' work, he wrote back that he hated mine the least, and said it had the greatest amount of drama and potential for something to actually happen.  In the words of Ralph, I think that's pretty good :)  Chin chin to that!

BIG BAT BREW

Hey guys!  Some of you that have been following me from the start might have seen my Big Bat Brew beer carton design from the beginning of the quarter.  Here's the update that I completed today (update seems to be the word of the semester).  I have some pretty sweet labels for the bottles, but right now I just have a leftover carton.  Guess I'll have to go buy some more beer :)

The old and the new:

The new one definately looks more like a Pale Ale, the last one looked like blueberry beer -ick!:

And another view:

Let me know if you know where I can find some white sheets, or a nice, clean white space to photograph my carton.  I love my desk, but these cartons want to step up their game!

It's finals week, so I'm keeping veryyy busy!  If you're in finals mode too, be sure to take a break on Wednesday night to come see my poster in the Savannah Stopover Opening Night/Gallery Reception in the Starland District.  See you all there :)

Big Bat Brew

Been up to a lot this week, make up MLK day on Friday and all.  So I've started doing layouts and such for my Big Bat Brew.  Here's what I got so far:

 

Front of the box.  Image needs lots of tweaking (bat hues needs to pop more, bottle on bottom need to look more like a pile of bottles, overall blue colors make the pale ale look like a blueberry beer, etc.) but I'm happy with where it's going so far. 

Breaking into these babies today for the Jets game; I can always buy a new pack for the new labels ;) .  But here's a picture just to show you the overall layout of how things will go.

Feedback would be appreciated, comment down below!
