I made sandals

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they arrive at a fork in their road. They are faced with a choice. For some of us, we decided long ago what our answer would be. Some of us have no choice. For some of us, the fork is still in the drawer, hanging out with the spoons.

The choice I’m speaking of, obviously, is to make shoes, or not. I took a break from my regularly scheduled deadline production and I made some. They aren’t practical in the conventional sense, but, they can be useful.

I’ve been thinking about this project for a long time, and I have stored up materials to make other kinds of shoes. This month’s Punk Frocker’s challenge prompt is #pfSewNotClothes, so I thought I’d dip my toes in and finally start this project. I’ll write more about it when I refine this process and develop the other prototypes.

I think it’s pretty cool.

PREPS vs. GREASERS

We’ve been practicing at Sportsman’s Hall for about a month now, and it’s sooooo nice to skate on wood (instead of fecal stained grooved concrete). Here’s the flier for our upcoming game.

THE MUTINY

A shirt design for our roller derby “A” team, the folks who travel and play “A” teams from other leagues.  I made at least 14 versions of this – and I think this is the best. I did it in a hurry.  ;)

JUNE 9th GAME AGAINST PENN JERSEY

I really am working on art – in fact, I have some great news on that front. But I still have a couple of derby posts just ahead, including this flier I just made for the June 9th game.

Spring Game Posters

Spring 2012 game posters – one for March, one for April and a combo flier. More details  at chesapeakerollerdebry.com. These feature Shea Legs, Killa Maul, Just Tim, Beef Hellington and a couple of friends. I posted this last week and had to pull them because of some, er, confusion regarding the players I used – some are from our last mixer where there were people from other leagues. All fixed now.

and the variant that caused a little hub-bub:

Boom.

Here’s a new poster I made for the derby league. We are raising funds for the next season, and, probably, causing a ruckus. Join up! All are welcome! We are looking forward to it!

Hank Rocks 2010

About a year ago, I helped a buddy out with a t-shirt design for his Walk for Autism campaign.  This year, his son continues to rock.

The last job my dad had was designing signage and t-shirt – he loved it. I think he was on to something.
