Texas Toast for Threadless




My latest submit to threadless.com.  Called "Texas Toast", I'm very pleased with this piece for a few reasons.  It's my highest scored piece, has gotten the most comments (and votes) and has lasted the longest on the site (4 days & counting) so I'm happy about all that.  And to top it off, some people who I really respect (in the threadless community) have commented on it- the best thing so far in my opinion.  I'm already working on a few other ideas.  Back to the sketchbook & computer!  Regards, -Lance

Pearl Jam Poster



There's a story that goes with this piece.  First off, I'm a HUGE Pearl Jam fan.  One of my all-time favorite groups.  I have over 300 of their songs on my ipod.  Yes, 300.  I have dozens of live & bootleg stuff over the years.  Plus I'll buy any single or cover they do.  Songs like "Last Kiss", "Solider of Love" and "Fortunate Son".  And I love classic rock like the Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, etc. etc.  I also surf the web looking for various art sites, font sites, design & trend sites.  A few weeks ago I came across the Ames Bros.  A design group from Seattle that did Pearl Jam concert posters among many, many other things.  I then googled "Pearl Jam posters"- and I was amazed.  Wow. There were tons of them from artists the world over dating back to 1998.  I thought: "I have to get in on this!"  So this is my first sketch of one of my favorite Pearl Jam covers.  I hope to have many more concert posters in the coming year(s).

MASS-ive Transit





My latest submits to threadless.com.  A 3-part series based on mass transit called MASS-ive Transit.  A Train, bus & plane that work out, lift weights, and build mass.  I post all my threadless work here afterwards because I can use can much higher resolution photos.
