P4D_Dojang-Signage

This week I produced the following signage for Dojang Martial Arts studio located at 4465 dunbar St. (Map)

Here is my initial concept image:



And Here is the final sign painted by hand.









I really enjoyed painting this sign, I've always had a thing for the old signage and billboards of the past. I cant help but stare when I see a 50 year old coca cola billboard fading into old bricks, and I'll be very happy if one day when I'm old and weathered(more so) that I can happen upon one of my forgotten wall murals that has stood the test of time and faded only from exposure to the elements since its creation.

I've got a lot of painting left in me, hopefully my work can keep up ;)

Next post should be some process work from an exciting new project I'll be starting next week. A 7 foot by 11 foot canvas, privately commissioned by a design studio located in Toronto. I posted some concepts for it in the last weeks, but since then the design totally changed and we finally arrived at something everyone was excited about. The words "powerfull" and "Holy Shit!" were used in response to my submissions, so obviously this is going to be a fun one to work on.

Stay warm folks!
P4d.

UPDATED POST!!!


For some reason voting on my designs ended after only 3 days(not 7)
im not sure what rule I broke, but I suspect hat too many friends went and spammed the site with perfect votes..I got no message as to why voting ended early...I may try again, we'll see.



I just got notification that 2 of the 3 designs submitted to threadless are open for voting..








I've got a week to get voted in or out, so do me a solid and go vote for my designs right now....!!!!!!!!

I worked on two commissions for a new client in Vancouver this past week.
this one was a 24"x90" tryptich(a tryptich is a single image made up from three images together) with the word "avatud" (estonian for 'open')
