New skateboard deck graphics

One of my robot illustrations will be appearing on a United Skates skateboard deck very soon. I still need to give him a name though I have no idea, answers on the back of a postcard please! Hopefully some of his friends will be making their way onto some decks soon too.

Danger!

I have been designing a logo, CD packaging and website for a new up and coming act, MC Danger. Here’s a visual of the CD front cover, will post more images of the packaging and website once they are completed.

Board stiff.

I have designed a heck of a lot of skateboards over the years as well as quite a few snowboards, so I have added a portfolio page from which you can view some of my skateboard and snowboard graphics.

I am Jason’s shiny portfolio.

I have put examples of my work up in the portfolio section, so please take a look (link over there on the right of the screen). I will try to expand this over time as I have quite a lot of work, just tried to include a mixture of styles/disciplines. Right I’m off to enjoy the sunshine.

Portfolio now uploaded.

Yes I get paid to draw skulls.

There are some projects I work on which make me realise I am quite lucky with what I do. I just have to put up with the constant abuse of being told to shut up and get on with my colouring-in. This week I have been working on a new range of tattoo inspired skateboards, here’s some work in progress. I even listened to some angry music as I worked on them, not sure the rest of the office appreciated that.

First set of concepts.

Doing the robot…

Some people gamble. Some sniff glue. Some have to salute magpies when they see one. Me? I draw robots. Maybe I’ll seek help one day if it starts to take over my life too much.

Some of my robotic doodles.

Here’s a few characters I have created on my Wacom. I haven’t named any of them yet unfortunately, and ideas on the back of a postcard please. A couple of these might find their way onto a skateboard or snowboard in the not too distant future.

I know what I’m doing. Honest.

I design new things everyday. My head is always full of ideas and things I want to do. I like to photograph things others think are strange. I like to sit and doodle. I talk to myself a lot. I talk to others about ideas, although not sure they ever really listen or wonder what the hell I am rambling on about. So I thought it was time I created a blog.

I have been thinking for a while now that I wanted to change my website, and I’d had a bit of a playaround with WordPress on a couple of web projects I have been involved in, and was impressed with it so I thought I would give it a go! The various reincarnations of my web site over the years have been pretty much static sites, which once I had ‘finished’ (is a web site ever really finished?!) I had uploaded and left to do… er well not a lot really. Maybe a couple of friends looked at it once or twice. But the sites have never really been dyamic in any shape or form. So I thought this would provide the perfect platform for my rants and ideas, as well as act as a portfolio and portal for my various dabblings. I’ll stop rambling now and put the kettle on.
