Last April, I had the pleasure of working with my fellow Education Committee members on the AIGA Kansas City board to do develop some lettering for what turned into our summer design workshop series. We paired with small independent studios/makers Whitney Manning and Sike Styles Industries to lead workshops focusing on their craft and seeing the workflow behind their projects.

My approach was to create a custom lettering piece that evoked a summer camp feel while giving a nod to 2-toned mid-century illustrations. The goal was to utilize overlapping colors to create a dynamic look to the piece. I looked at century old hunting and game magazines, I threw on a few episodes of “Salute Your Shorts” and the 1995 classic “Heavyweights” to really round out my inspiration for this project.

Slide 1: Final Render on some French Paper I scanned in.
Slide 2: Close-up and utilizing two overlaying colors to create depth.
Slide 3: Mood board images pulled from magazines and menus in the Henchmen Studios archive.
Slide 4: More mood board images and initial rough sketch ideas.
Slide 5: Final sketches before vectoring as well as a black-and-white version and an alternative wide version for various uses.

HENCHMEN STUDIOS OPEN HOUSE NIGHT

Thursday November 16th! Come hang out and practice your craft. Drawing, photography, music, comedy, underwater basket weaving, if it's your thing, come hang out and meet with other creative people! Consider this alternative programming to all those "insider" networking events where no one interacts with each other and you grab a business card to throw right into the trash. DM for address. NO JUGGLERS!!

During the redesign of our website we figured it would be a great time to get headshots taken here at Henchmen Studios. Now that the new website is launched, we want you to meet the full team!

I brake for worms bumper stickers are now available to all who want one.

I'm trying to get back into the habit of making stuff that I enjoy without second guessing the final output and being stuck in my head with anxiety if people like my stuff or not. These are the dumbest things I've made in a while and I'm gonna do my best to put more out in the wild, not worrying about any minor imperfections since it's all hand-drawn at the end of the day.

Recently, I've been in the middle of a few large projects for myself which include a new website and archiving a lot of my old work + sketches among other things for some case studies on my site.

I completed the entire project from brief to final delivery of the goods in less than two weeks, with all of the art direction, sketching, vectorizing and choosing paper for printing done in-house here at Henchmen Studios.

As always, I start with a page full of sketches based on the art direction (1), always done entirely by hand before the best ones are refined on vellum a time or two while working out the logistics of scale and text size with other elements incorporated (2). Eventually I'll get to something that needs to be ultra cleaned up before scanned and vectorized in Illustrator (3).

Feel free to see the finished project on further down on my page. Full case study coming soon.
