These designs weren't necessarily used for shirts, and they're just the sketches. Most bands/labels were appreciative of the work, but just didn't have a need for new merch designs at the time. I still liked them, and if the situation presented itself, would clean them up, re-do them in illustrator and amend them for another band.



CRUEL HAND SHIRT DESIGN. I actually never got around to sending this one to the band. This was made a long time ago...then they signed to B9 and got that dude who does art that looks exactly like Pushead's to do their art. I ain't mad. Before you get all huffy and tell me that BITTER END used this design for a shirt, I'll tell you to learn your history and that 80's crossover band ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT actually had a shirt with this on it before that...and before ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT, Dalton Trumbo used it on the cover of his book "Johnny Got his Gun." So there.




FROM L.A. with LOVE COMPILATION ALBUM COVER
This is a mixtape I made at one time. Maybe you were lucky enough to get one.


REAPER RECORDS T-SHIRT/LOGO
I made this before Reaper was the juggernaut that it is today. I still think it'd make a rad shirt if it was all cleaned up in illustrator. Maybe if I'm feeling brave I'll email it to Patrick.


RIVAL MOB T-SHIRT DESIGN
I don't know why this is sideways. I can't figure out how to edit things in blogger. This was made back when the Rival Mob pretty much said they weren't going to make shirts. Times have changed. The band was still really appreciative of it and thanked me for being so stoked on their band that I'd do art for them (even when I wasn't asked!)



SWAMP THING SHIRT DESIGN. I did some of SWAMP THING's early shirts. I don't think I ever pursued this one much after I came up with it. A little tweaking and it would have been rad.
