New teeshirt designs by Nat Landry

 Looks like my ninja Nat Landry (Bring the Pain Jermaine) is getting into the teeshirt game. Here's a couple designs he posted yesterday...

Nat (who already paints, rhymes and moonlights as a ninja mercenary) will fit right into the teeshirt hustle, and can take it as far as he wants to take it, in my opinion. The SCAD graduate graciously contributed to the first two issue of GhettoManga Quarterly, but I was already a fan of his trippy hip hop-infused comics and paintings before that, and remain so today! You can check out more of his art on his blog Ah Did That!!!!! and make sure you comment so he can keep you posted on how/where to get these tees!

holla!

FREE Hotdoggin' Wallpaper anyone?

I've been rocking this wallpaper above on my computer ever since Playdough approved the drawing below as a teeshirt design for his limited edition promo to his new album Hotdoggin...

I'll be getting my teeshirt in the mail soon, in time to rock it at the album release party on April 29th. Until then, I'll have some more prints, magazines, comics and other such things at the party and will also be creating live art solo, and with the mighty Just-Us League, so if you can make it out, please do! Until then, feel free to preview the album below, which releases on April 26th.

jeauh!

holla!

Hot diggity (for those who missed it)...

As you may know, I was commissioned to do a tee-shirt design for one of my favorite emcees, Playdough of the mighty Deepspace 5 crew, to coincide with the release of his new album Hotdoggin'...


The deadline was very tight, and I was restricted to only 2 colors (on a black tee), both of which made this somewhat nerve-wracking (plus, I REALLY wanted Playdough to like it)... After struggling with some other complicated ideas that were not working at all, I watched this promo video for inspiration and decided I HAD to draw him skateboarding in a hotdog suit.

I like trying complicated stuff, but my talents are suited to keeping it simple. The final teeshirt artwork actually has text on it and a different composition (I'll post it up whenever Playdough starts taking preorders), but I will include this as a page in my artbook I'm working on whenever it comes out.

Here's another ballpoint pen sketch that I didn't use... I may actually finish it and make prints if I have time. The release party for the album is in Dallas on April 29th, and area art crews ArtLoveMagic and the Just.Us.League (both of which I am a part of) will be in attendance creating live art, so I want to produce of few printed treats that will appeal to the rap nerds and art geeks (again, I belong to both groups) that will be floating around the room sipping brew...
These days, I'm loaded with stuff I need to work on, and I don't get nearly enough sleep (yeah, I have a 2 year old daughter too...), but dang it, I sure am having fun! Well, back to the drawing board...

holla!

Playdough rocking my "Gorgeous Destroyer" tee...

Playdough of the mighty Deepspace 5 crew has been one of my favorite emcees for years, even before I knew he lived in my area.

So as you can imagine, I was very pleased when I saw the name of the emcee/beatmaker's production company listed on an order report for a bunch of stuff from Ziontific, my online store. Among the stuff he bought was the Gorgeous Destroyer: Black Flag teeshirt he's modeling above, as he rocks a show in Cincinnati, OH. Incidentally, Playdough will be back in Dallas headlining a show at the Green Elephant Tuesday night... hopefully, I'll be able to make it (fingers crossed). Click Here to get an earful of his new record Writer Dye, or click here to cop one of these Gorgeous Destroyer tees for yourself or a friend! Personally, I recommend both...
holla!
