Revolution Custom Tee + Hoody:

Ted drew out the graphic and I vectored and colored it. The front chest logo is my work, back is his design. We spent some time to find the right quality of garments so that the release would be seen as a brand and not just a tattoo shop give-away. Ted is an amazing artist and I am working hard to help him get his identity branded properly.

Work In Progress:

Renericharccollections.com Version 1.0 Launched.

Still a work in progress, soon to be available in English, French and German languages, this site is dedicated to the great Canadien/Swisse artist and trapper Rene Richard. Featuring a large gallery collection of work and a full biography/history, the trick was to keep the site clean and simple to let the artwork speak for itself.

This Project was very dear to my heart as I have never had the opportunity to deal with such an important up and coming figure before. Rene is one for the history books and as of now his work is virtually unknown in the U.S.A.

ALL content/design was completed by me with the help of our donor. We collected, scanned, photographed each and every piece of literature and artwork to make this as complete a reference tool as possible. The largest obstacle was dealing with a board that had little to no website experience, so a lot of "collective" decisions were made that sometimes forced basic function over fashion and aesthetic. It is my job to educate the customer as well as build the brand, but when we all speak different languages sometimes it is a bit slower going. That just makes it all the more rewarding in the end. I feel great friendships have been forged out of this project.

Revolution Custom Tattoos: A true revolution occurred- With a lightning fast in store renovation/rebranding and deadline of about 3 days, I hadnt even finished some of these pieces completely and they were already printed, launched, installed. I definitely would like to go back and clean up some loose ends, but overall I think we achieved our goal. Website is still in progress and over the next few months we will be tweaking designs and launching the apparel. The artist and I are long time friends and are learning together how to grow his business and change the face of tattooing in central NE.
