Sort of an idea from another forum but...

So a lot of skullbrainers are in the design industry or have a great interest in it. I figured this thread could be where some would post cool random things they're doing or show off projects they've been working on.

For example..

I messed around and did these today. Screwing around with the jpeg code of an image and then seeing what you get out of it:





Anyone else want to participate?

nice glitches! i took a class on internet art in school and one of my friends spent the whole semester doing glitch work- even did some neat animations. now i cant even remember his name!

im working on a shirt for BOWERY MAGAZINE- a little dark collective of stuff. not sure when the shirt is dropping but there were a few little tweaks here and there



http://www.bowerymagazine.com

also did some stuff for a band that im not allowed to show yet.

been a fun little month for me, i wish i got more work to keep me busy

Sweet illustration!

Clicking the website link I was expecting an actual magazine still cool none the less.

Tried messing with a .gif to see what that did. Not very much.

Love the illustration for the shirt Michael. I really appreciate how consistent you are in terms of quality, and stylistically. Keep us posted on when it comes out or how to get one.
I'm too tired from designing crap all day to mess around with fun stuff...but I love the idea of this thread to see what other folks are up to!

winu, I didn't know you could do that. Here's my try,,,

Sweet! Yeah, I remember seeing someone do it a year ago or so and I tried to figure out how could I even get to the code of a jpeg but didn't figure it out. Picked up a magazine just the other day and low and behold a tutorial was there on pretty much how to do it!

It's a bit of a pain working with a PC though, because TextPad doesn't let you cut "null characters" so i'm really limited to what I could mess around with, but also adding your own text can create interesting things too.

I'm always too burnt out from doing corporate stuff all day to do any personal stuff
but here's an old concept I did for a friend's identity from a few years back.

Same here.

That jpeg code glitch stuff is great! Definitely going to play around with that some.

Here's the birth announcement that I did for my son. Unfortunately never got these printed, but I'm thinking about getting them done soon and sending them out late. I was going to have them letterpressed, with the gray dots being depressed but not printed.

I'm gonna make a shirt w this eventually & probably a painting w/o the text & xbones.

the jpeg code stuff is really cool, never knew.

It's relieving to know this is a common thread.

kroker i love the flying tigers graphic!

Cover for a mix I made a while ago.

thanks michael!

damn winu, that cover is too creepy. I'll never crawl on top off a naked passed out stranger again!

the shirt released today in australia, they are already going quickly!

got commissioned to do a deck for a collector.

you're messed up Larry

Nattefroste + naked lady

winu, come up here and get tattooed by wrest

I'd be afraid that he do more than just tattoo me with that gun.

Ha!

Are Jef's tattoos any good? I don't think I've ever seen any.

i think he does really cool stuff esp the stuff that is a bit on the bizarre side

You'd be fine. I have a couple of tattoos from Jef.

Was just joking about that bit. Last I heard the accusation was bogus and was from a girlfriend who's made similar ones to men in the past.

But I did read that Wrest just got two-years probation lol

Thinking about making die-cut holographic stickers out of this:

A WIP bound to never be completed.
