Sunday Sign #20- Derby Helmet!

This was a really fun project, done for my friend Caitlin's roller derby helmet. I should have some better pics later this week. Her clever derby name is "Velocity Rapture", and her number 75, since Velociraptors lived 75 million years ago.

Coming Soon! New Comic Project

I made these character design drawings into little promos for the comic project I'm working on right now, der Hauptmann von Köpenick. The comic tells the true story of Wilhelm Voigt, an unemployed ex-con in turn of the century Prussia who got creative in deciding to pull a heist. I've been wanting to do a comic about this story for several years now, and I'm stoked that I'm finally getting to make it happen. The art should be done early this Spring, with copies available for purchase hopefully shortly after that. Keep an eye on the blog ( or follow my tumblr: http://dangersartpad.tumblr.com) for updates and additional sneak peaks! (I'll also be posting soon to introduce POISON: Pulp Zine, another cool illustrated project I'm working on that you can get your hands on late Spring/Summer 2014. Stay tuned!)

Sunday Sign #19- Creer Sheet Metal

This week's sign was super fun. Ed Creer at Creer Sheet Metal asked me to do this for him, as well as some lettering on his '57 VW Bug (which I'll post when I do it in a week or two). This metal plate is off of a Schwinn Cycle Truck that he restored and wanted the company name on, as well as it's original phone number (the "FR" stands for "Franklin"). I'll get some pictures of it posted when it's actually on the bike, but here's the finished lettering. 

Sunday Sign #18- Puck

Tonight's comes from Shakespeare and Kenneth Anger. Pretty fast and sloppy, just practicing strokes. 

Sunday Sign 17- Keep On Truckin!

… Truckin on down the line.

Sunday Sign #16- Grandpa

This was another gift, this one for my mother. While I'm sure my late maternal grandfather wasn't the first to use this phrase as a personal mantra, it's his use of it that matters in my family. The color scheme was inspired by his career as a mechanic for John Deere. This photo comes from the sign's current home, my mother's sewing room. 

Sickle shop, Preview of things to come...

I did this piece for my environments class as prep for a Zine project to come. This particular environment is a preliminary treatment of the setting in a story written by my good friend and DV brother Nate Perkins. The Zine will also feature a story from another good pal and DV brother, Charlie Wildey. I'll post updates throughout the next few months, culminating in a show/release party in the spring. Stay tuned!
