Lion Jack... or Jack with a Lion

So I am part of a graphic design website called http://99designs.com. It is a really fun interesting way to keep my design skills sharp as well as get some real world experience dealing with client briefs and things of that nature. So I did a logo for an American rock band called Lion Jack.  They wanted a logo and letter mark that was both graphically modern as well as vintage with a crest type throw back. I was very interested in doing a logo that incorporated the letter J into a lion.

An example of the logo and how it has the capability to stand alone.

SO! the madness begins

Well I am not one to love writing or even to like to write, so the whole idea of blogging never really occured to me to be something that I would ever do. I wouldn't say that I am overtly opinionated nor am I in any position's to tell anyone out there in the world financial advice, or tell them how to cook a brazed ham, or the little jems of wisdom a overpaid celebraty divulges about sleeping with porn star number seven while he buys a 20,000 dollar brick of cocaine, or how to even spell something... well anything. If I continue this blog my inability to spell will probably become very apparent. Anyways, the reason I am starting this blog is to have a place to display the work that I do. I am a recent graduate from an art school with a concentration in graphic design. I have always dug art ever since I was little I have always know that this is what I wanted. When Pocahontas was singing about  her inability to chose a river to canoe down I already knew that I would take the winding one with the otters and the water fall.. I was luck that I always knew what I wanted... know that I have it the only challenge that is left is to find someone who will pay me to do it.  So this is my little corner of the internet universe and I am sure it will be the most random assortment of what ever weird random thought flings out of my head like a sneeze along with some art and graphic design to accompany my ramblings
