LA Trash Apparel Photoshoot

Posted on May 5, 2012 by James

As of recently LA Trash Apparel completed the new photoshoot with all of the shirts they will be coming out with. I just received all the pictures and will be going through them all to begin the process of designing the website with photo’s incorporated. I’m very excited about this project. Me and the LA Trash Apparel team have been working on this project since 2010 and have finally reached the point of launch.

The website and merchandise pictures should be up and the website included within the next 2 weeks! Infact, I will include a few shots that will be used on the website. LA Trash Apparel and I will be launching the entire website and social sites including our online merchandise store in 2 weeks or less. The website will include a bunch of features like the store, individual merchandise pages, news updates, newsletters for people to join, social sites including facebook, twitter and more! I am really excited to launch this project!

LA Trash Apparel Website

Posted on January 6, 2012 by James

As of recently, I’ve been FINALLY working on a project that I’ve been working on since 2010. It’s finally here. It’s almost finished and that means I will be able to reveal it within the next few weeks! Obviously its LA Trash Apparel. A clothing company I’ve been working on. I’m really excited as the clothing is arriving within the next week! Which means the shop will be completed by next week and everything will be completely launched! Right now I have the base structure implemented into the website and because of that it is up and running! Which is okay because the look is finished and so are the current pages. We will be launching 5 T-Shirts with tags removed from the back and a custom LA Trash Apparel tag screen printed on the back. They are all printed on American Apparel for more comfort! We haven’t launched the products yet, nor are they for sale yet, but it’s coming!

The Quiet City Screams T-Shirt Designs

Posted on December 26, 2011 by James

So I’ve been working on these 2 designs since the last blog update. The first shirt is another anchor design that I did. It’s different then the previous anchor designs I’ve done. On the anchor shirt I used the pen tool to create the anchor in Adobe Illustrator I also created the main font in Illustrator as well. Overall I tried something new completely designing this t-shirt in Illustrator instead of importing to Photoshop. I managed to keep it down to 3 colors which is surprising that I Was able to get it that low. I wanted to go with 4 – 6 colors!

The Second Shirt was created in Photoshop. Once I created the text, it was all pretty much rasterized so I could manipulate it to fit the design. The bottom features a city amongst the shapes that were rasterized to and then added a grunge to make it fit the style I was reaching. I thought the lines added a nice touch as well. This shirt was limited to 2 colors as well but I still feel those 2 colors worked out well!

I will have more to post soon enough!

I haven’t been able to post in the blog as of recently because I’ve had a power outage. I have however been posting to twitter of course. I’m still in the process of making a few newer Photoshop Brushes along with adding the current ones to this blog. I’m also working on a shirt for a band “The High Note”. It’s based on quoted lyrics from one of their songs. It also includes an anchor.

I am still working on Final Thought’s new CD Album. It’s really starting to come out really nice, I am super excited to see the final outcome of this.
