86era

My comrade Nick Kavassalis from Canada took & shared a few photos of my Design By Humans t-shirt! Dig the photos in his flickr photostream:

Thank you Nick!

Want to support 86era — get yourself a t-shirt.

Yes, I took over the main page of Design By Humans with my t-shirt! Check it out:

Here’s the original illustration — click, in case some of you missed the details. Available only in this weird colorway for now. Starting today, $25 and the shirt is yours! Support is highly appreciated, as every sold t-shirt raises the chances of getting it reprinted on different color. Thanks to everyone who already got one!

+ some more related stuff: fresh interview (thanks to Michelle & Jimi for putting this up) and another shot for my own collection:

I was interviewed by John Hall of Typo-graphical blog last week, answered the first portion of questions and shared some unreleased artwork. Second part comes anytime soon :)

Thank you John!

I received a few photos of “Vital Consciousness” print yesterday from my man Steven Dunn aka Setup85, who is a great designer/illustrator AND the first person to own this print. Check those out:

You can grab yours at inPRNT! :) Sometime somewhere!

“SVSV”
A piece I drew a while back for Serum vs Venom / via Keystone Design Union.
Ballpoint pens on standard A4-sized paper sheet. Really love it, although I see it a little bit rugged now :)
Hope ya like it!

So I received an email from inPRNT today, saying that I now have two of my works available for purchase — yay! Check those out:

“VIII” and “Vital Consciousness” are printed with Epson UltraChrome inks, the sizes are pretty fascinating: 13x19, 18x24 and extra large for all detail freaks out there — 24x36 (inches, of course).

Thanks go to Joshua for making those prints possible!

UPDATE: Prints via inPRNT canceled as of January 2010.

22 May 2009, Rotofugi Gallery, Chicago (USA).
New works by Brian Morris & Mitch O’Connell.

Brian Morris kills it again, peep awesome photos from the show in formulawerks‘ flickr set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/formulawerks/sets/72157618674888086/

Here’s some background information on the whole thing. Drawn on A4-sized craft paper sheet, using 0.20 & 0.25 mm Sakura Micron ink pens and two white Crown gel pens. Took me about three weeks to finish it — go figure how intricate it actually is… And no, I didn’t know how it’s gonna end up looking — I still kick it freestyle most of the times, although this time it was more or less symmetrical.

I don’t really feel like sharing my understanding of the elements, but obviously it’s not randomly entitled “vital consciousness” . For those, who’s curious about the digits — I got them from my dreams! :)
However, feel free to reach me — I’m really interested in hearing how you interpret the drawing… if you have nothing better to do!

I’m on the look out for a decent print service, as I think it’d look pretty good as a poster. Suggestions (and maybe offers?) are welcome!

Last but not least, this original piece is up for sale. Contact me if you’re interested (please do include your price).

PS. My site will be updated soon with new look and engine (PHP consultancy would be appreciated), it’ll be more intuitive & slick. This means I’ll keep posting new stuff here, in my blog, and places like Behance and Flickr.
