Locind "We are the World"

Art Show

2011-11-15T13:04:00.000-08:00

Hey folks Matt Everett and I are going to be having an Art Show at the Victory in December. Just a warning. I'll be putting up more deets later this week.

Southside Hurling

2011-11-08T20:38:00.000-08:00

These are some t-shirt designs that I came up with to help promote the Southside Hurling Club.

This has a "Rat City" vibe that was close, but not what the client was looking for.

This was a little too "Kiddie"

This one is a lot closer to the mark.

USGAA Nationals T's

2011-09-16T11:18:00.000-07:00

I whipped these up to represent Seattle's Hurling, Camogie, and Women's Football teams this year in San Francisco.

Pink Legends

2011-08-19T16:45:00.001-07:00

Here are a couple of illustrations that I did for an upcoming project.

Berries and Banana

2011-07-26T13:25:00.000-07:00

Here is part of a bunch of illustrations that I am doing for a informational health piece here at work. I don't normally get to do a lot of illustration, so am pretty excited. I am not sure if this one will be in the final print piece, but like it anyway.

Declan's Birthday invite.

2011-07-22T09:25:00.000-07:00

A little birthday invite for Declan. More to come on this front.

Kids on Fire Poster

2011-06-29T17:16:00.000-07:00

Finally I got to do a poster for Kids on Fire. Things just haven't worked out for a variety of reasons, but now they have.

I wanted to do something using a collage-clip art style in a vaguely "metal" type look, which was something that I haven't tried before.

In other news, I am working on a new blogsite and website combo. Maybe it will land me some new opportunities. Who can say?

Sort of a Charley Harper rip-off, uh I mean homage.

Knight

2011-04-21T13:37:00.000-07:00

Here is a little illustration that I did as a comp for an up coming project. We shall see if it gets used. I doubt it will, but I like it.

I Owl Mice

2011-04-12T21:20:00.000-07:00

This is a block print that was hand-crafted in the Workshoppe. Perfect for all of those people out there who love owls and/or like to eat mice.

The design is roughly 4x4, but is on a 8.5x11 piece of off-white card stock. It is limited to 20.

MC Panda.

2011-04-05T10:07:00.000-07:00

It has been awhile since I did regular blog posts. So I have decided that I am going to work at making posting a priority. So here goes.

MC Panda - wordem' up.

My New Marketing company

2011-03-30T12:47:00.000-07:00

After working with about 200 marketing agencies all of whom amazed me by their by-the-book ineptitude, I figured that I would start my own. Now I can cash the big checks. We are hiring, so if you think that you have what it takes, please join us. Must like Rock and Roll and awesome times.

Seattle Gaels golf poster

2011-03-30T10:43:00.000-07:00

Here is a new poster that I did for the Seattle Gaels Annual golf tournament.

Work infographic.

2011-03-02T10:46:00.000-08:00

I normally save the work stuff for my other site, but I thought that this was a little bit of nice stuff. It is lower res, because all of the info is none of your business.

Art Show update

2011-01-17T13:01:00.000-08:00

Thanks to everyone who came out last Saturday for my art show. And a special thanks to those who bought some art. And a specialer thanks goes out to Kate Boyd, Mike uh Shrimpy Trash and Seamonkey. I would also like to thank Joey Veltkamp who swung by to do a trade, something that I love to do. He also did a nice write up on his blog - http://joeyveltkamp.blogspot.com/2011/01/chip-baker-victory-lounge.html , a great blog to check up on if you are interested in the local arts scene.

So thanks and keep a look out, I have some big ideas for 2011.

Snakes of Wrath or A Semblance of Waves: A show.

2011-01-06T23:26:00.000-08:00

Come on down and check out some art by me. The show is called Snakes of Wrath or A Semblance of Waves . It is up to you to decide which is the more pretentious name. Maybe we could go with A Semblance of Snakes or obviously Waves of Wrath. Who cares!

DJ Shrimpy Trash and DJ Sea Monkey are going to hold it down behind the wheels of steel.

UPDATE!!!!

This is not an opening. The art is going up Jan 7th. This is going to opsing. Be sure to tip your bartender.

Frost Mace

2010-12-14T16:09:00.000-08:00

I was bored and created a t-shirt for my metal band - "Frost Mace". It is not a real band but it still rocks.

Also Things are cooking along with the Workshoppe. Did I mention that at the Tour there is going to be a Mega-mix of my old bands. Better jab your ear drums out now, cause it is about to get heavy.

I am also going to be putting more stuff up over the next two weeks. So keep checking back.

Workshoppe

2010-10-09T15:31:00.000-07:00

I am going to be having a huge studio blow-out sale Nov. 6th. To help those of you who can't make it, I am going to have an online store - "Workshoppe" where you can buy select items. The sale will have loads more than the online store, but the online store should have a pretty nice selection of many of the works that have been posted on "We are the World". Right now there are only a few things, but this next week I am going to throw open the archives. Workshoppe

Tattoo You

2010-09-30T11:24:00.001-07:00

Morgan from the Steel Tigers of Death! has honored me by committing some of my art (and a dash of Jack Kirby) to his body, in what he calls an impulse tattoo. Impulse Tattoo, is also my least favorite Rolling Stones album and possibly the greatest oxymoron.

I did this drawing as part of the studies and doodles that I did for the band when designing their album cover "The Steel Tigers of Death Proudly Presents The Steel Tigers of Death!"

Thanks Morgan!

Linocuts

2010-09-11T17:39:00.000-07:00

I have been in the mood to really try out some linocut action. Here are a couple that I have done recently. Good Times!

Local Natives first version

2010-08-16T14:32:00.000-07:00

This was the first version of the Local Native poster that I did with Rangotang this past summer. I like how the final version turned out, but sort of liked the frenetic, textured look that this has.

Kat Haus

2010-08-10T13:02:00.001-07:00

a little fun zine. All about kitties.

Otter Pop

2010-07-27T20:14:00.001-07:00

It is summer and time for otter pop.

Adam Carolla Book cover

2010-07-26T17:36:00.000-07:00

I am a big fan of Adam Carolla. I have to admit to being a little late to the "Ace Train", but here i am now. He is just putting the finishing touches a book of rants, which I will be buying when it comes out. My only complaint is that the book cover that he has for it is pretty bad. I hope he didn't come up with the idea, my guess is that he didn't. Anyway, I reinterpreted his book cover for him, so maybe the second printing or softcover can use it.

I went with a motif from the original book cover, and gave it a post-modern look. If anyone knows him, feel free to send it over to him. Also tell him if he wants to do any posters for his live dates, I'd be happy to hook him up.

OZ - identity

2010-07-02T12:31:00.000-07:00

Here is my dog Oz's logo, for an upcoming website that will chronicle his life. Yeah, things are that exciting.

Okay it is Summer already.

2010-06-24T10:08:00.000-07:00

Yeah, it is Summer and I am trying to gear up for it. In Seattle it has been even rainier than usual. We had our first bit of Summer weather this week. I whipped these posters out in about 5 minutes to get me motivated to have a good Summer. This is the last of the posters on this subject. "Enjoy the Summer. make it Rad!"

Say "Hello" to Summer.

2010-06-23T12:11:00.000-07:00

another motivational poster.

Get Rad! It's Summer Time

2010-06-22T16:22:00.000-07:00

It is Summer time. So get rad people. A little inspirational poster that I designed just because.

Flower Power test

2010-06-02T10:55:00.000-07:00

Further experimentation with a more mid-modern looking thing, which in this case is a flower. I wanted to play around with precision, texture, and pattern. Three things that I need to work on or are at least interesting to me since most of my art is sloppy.

Day and Night

2010-05-19T09:18:00.000-07:00

Here is a little preview of something that I have been working on for the New Old gods project.

New portfolio site and blogs

2010-05-11T18:08:00.000-07:00

Well I think I am finally just about finished. I am still posting stuff on here, so fear not. I new big project is going to be an alphabet poster. I am still also working on the new/old gods project too.

Here are the links to new stuff.

Oh, and if you want some big tyme entertainment check out my french fry blog -"The Frylife"

Wood god - first crack.

2010-05-04T10:14:00.000-07:00

This guy - needs a lot of work, but I thought I'd show him here first. I am thinking of trying to come up with a few more and do a zine about them.

I have been really hammering away at my portfolio these last months. Check it out - http://locind.com . I still have a few more things to do on it, but then it will be done. I also built a blog-folio to augment the portfolio.

I am planning on keeping this up for my own personal projects.

It has been a while.

2010-04-23T15:34:00.000-07:00

I have been working really hard on my new blog and website, and other things. this site is going to be a place to show videos and rough ideas. The other blog will have work related stuff. this place will be for fun. Enjoy.

Holla

2010-02-11T10:40:00.001-08:00

A little new/olds gods action.

So decisions have been made and I am moving to Movable Type, but I am going to keep this blog going for all of my musings and sketches. The other "official Locind" blog will be for tha biz. This blog will be re-purposed to show case photos, sketches, and things that haven't been fully rendered. I will probably keep the Etsy portal and might even put some stuff up there. Now I know I 've said that I was going to do it before, but I mean it this time.

Rangotang - STDs and Ape City R&B poster

2010-01-15T07:00:00.000-08:00

Here is another Rangotang joint. I did the Illi, Mike did the layout, color, and design.

Come down to the show. It is a pretty killer line-up.

Cleopatra

2010-01-14T10:35:00.000-08:00

Some more stuff for the alphabet. A quick sketch.

Ant Eater

2010-01-13T09:02:00.000-08:00

This is a quick sketch of an ant eater. I have a bunch of friends and family who are having babies and want to do an illustrated poster of the alphabet. This is in another form may end up as “A”.

Holla

2010-01-11T07:00:00.000-08:00

I saw this up on Capital Hill on 15th.

Nice picture of the STD's 45 that I drew up.

2010-01-08T07:00:00.000-08:00

So this site has been fun and all, but I am thinking of trying out a new service. The new service, which I am trying now should make it easier to fully customize the HTML and CSS but still get the kind of functionality that you all expect. So in the next few weeks if you are re-routed don't be alarmed. I'll give you a little more notice before/if I change.

Steel Tigers of Death 2010 Calendar

2010-01-07T07:00:00.000-08:00

These images were taken at my 2 work places and with a phone.

That is right kiddies, the official STD's calendar. The band has them and will be selling them at January shows so get them before they sell-out, the calendar not the band. The band would never sell-out. I will have 2-3 up on Etsy next week. These are SUPER limited so act quick.

Happy New Year Everyone!
The long wait is over and normal blogging has come back to this...blog.

I have my studio set up now, well almost set up, and will be creating little things to look at. I will be working on getting my etsy shop going, and making things that are posted available.

In the next couple of days I'll have a list of my upcoming projects to keep an eye out for.

2009-11-19T17:40:00.000-08:00

I am sick and moving so posts are going to be pretty scarce until the New Year. That will give me plenty of time to develop new works. Sorry, but everything is packed up and ready to roll.

new/old gods

2009-11-13T07:00:00.000-08:00

final development - maybe. I am trying to figure out what I have here. Maybe this guy will show up in a silkscreen project down the road, but don't think that you have seen the last of him.

Wolves Art Show Report

2009-11-09T07:00:00.001-08:00

here are some of the peices that were featured in my solo show - Wolves. I pretty much sold out of the Wolf Zine, although I do have a couple more That i'll be putting up on Etsy this week.

So I am moving in the up coming weeks and have had to pack most of my art supplies, ergo the flow of new work that you have all come accustom to will be slowing down. However, I will be putting up stuff on Etsy, just in time for Christmas. My goal is to try and get some of that stuff up this week. I will be posting about what I put up so if you see something that you like, or there is something that you saw on the blog, LET ME KNOW. I am moving and will be happy to part with some of the stuff that I had done in the past three years. If possible I will make such a deal for you.

After I get set up in my new studio, I'll get back to producing. Something for the upcoming year are:
1.) zines
2.) a new/old gods series.
3.) a website and blog revamp
4.) some other tricks that I don't want to get into quite yet.

wolf show tonight

2009-11-05T09:16:00.000-08:00

2009-10-01T09:26:00.000-07:00

Some notebook action for Air Bud. I apologize for the quality of posts lately. There is lots going on, some creative, some VERY tedious. I am getting a new computer this weekend which is part of the reason that posts have been a little erratic.

Anyway, here is what is coming up:

1) Rock Paper Scissor Tournament of Champions - tshirt, logo, and poster
2) Combo art show "WOLVES", with artist Matt Everett. This will include a new zine, a poster, and numerous wolves, many of which have been featured in this blog.
3) a new Hi-jinx zine
4) a new Cobra Castles Zine
5) facelifts of my website and this blog.
6) a new Steel Tigers poster for Rangotang
