Ft. Myers Family Feud

Here's the first illustrated flyer for the season. : )

FMDG 2012 Bout Schedule

It's time for another season of roller derby bouts for the Fort Myers Derby Girls. That means more roller derby flyer artwork! Be on the look out each month. Also, I'll be putting together some personal projects, so look out for those posts, too. Okay, 2012, let's do this....

TA-TA TAKEDOWN III (waaaay late post)

This post is wicked late. Tried for more of an indy comic book feel on this one.

Now the new season is starting up and I'm putting together all the derby art I've done in an effort to see what I like, what worked, what didn't and at least to have them bound up in an easily accessible format for such reference.

It's 2012 now and I had fallen off of my art blog posting. Actually, artwork in general for a large portion of 2011. This will not do. Bringing old and new projects and pieces to fruition is a must. Gotta up the ante and continue to grow and produce.

Cheers, everyone. : )

Worked out the pencils and landed the pose I wanted. More to come...

FMDG 2011 Home Bouts Schedule

So, 2011 is right around the corner. Impressive.

To me, equally impressive is the opportunity to make illustrations and designs for the Fort Myers Derby Girls again.

This double-sided flyer is their season schedule for bouts at home.

I had fun giving the design elements on this some energy with shapes, gradients and transparency. I wanted to push the roller rink feel with the colors and grid pattern that reminded me of the lights and video games from my younger days. (hint: the Eighties)

I'm looking forward to working a third season for FMDG!

Upon closer inspection...

ROLLER DERBY: Block Rock & Roll ! ! !

I actually finished this a week ago, just now posting it. Mainly just design here, reusing the image from the t-shirt because of short notice. This season the team decided to go with a sponsor to do their flyers. When they got the sponsor's flyer they called me again. Sponsor's flyer was hurting. The client, she told me, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

I'll take it...

FORT MYERS DERBY GIRLS!!

Fort Myers Derby Girls T-shirt design. Based on Romero's "Day of the Dead" movie poster. The movie's opening scene and others were filmed in Fort Myers. The original sketch had Bub jumping a Model-T Ford (Henry Ford had a vacation home in Fort Myers) in the top of the circle.
