grypesagon's Threadless Blog

Back in the world.

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 07:49:36 -0500

It's been a long while since my last visit to the threads of threadless. I posted a new entry and Frick commented on it and it made me remember that there might be some familiar faces wandering nearby.

How's everyone doing out there?

oh and... here's the design that brought me back for the "love's green" contest.

I need help with my technique.

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 01:03:50 -0500

If you look through my past submissions you'll see I've experimented with a wide variety of techniques for trying to work within threadless' color limitations.

I've tried freehand, pen tool, draw/scan/color, draw/color/scan, illustrator, photoshop, painter. I've tried everything I can think of. I'm missing some fundamental component that I can't kin.

That's my original digital illustration for this concept.

This is my new attempt at a translation into Threadless acceptable format.

Check it out. let me know if you're with me.

happy gimetzco day!

The Job Hunt Begins (aka : looking for job hunt help in Boston, MA)

Thu, 21 Jun 2007 13:05:02 -0500

I'm looking for work. Ideally I'd like to get a job in digital illustration, traditional illustration, design, etc.

I've been reviewing resources and job hunting sites all day and working on my resume.

I figured I should try to make use of the experience and expertise here.

Does anyone have any leads in the Boston, MA area?

Does anyone know of any reliable sites for hunting for such jobs?

Does anyone have any reliable resources for freelancing?

:-) Thanks.

Comic Book Artists?

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 19:45:49 -0500

With all the illustrators, artists and know how on this site I figured it would be a good place to look.

A friend of mine has been scripting a comic book (not strip style, actual marvel/dc/darkhorse/image/ect style books). I've been working on character compositions and cover ideas.

We're trying to find panel artists.

It also wouldn't hurt if we could find inkers, letterers and colonists but we can handle that if needed.

I'm wondering if anyone around here has that kind of skill or knows a site/community/forum (besides craigslist) where we could likely find one.

Any direction anyone could give would be most appreciated.

(just FYI: He's the primary visionary for this project so he will be contacting people and making the decisions of who to harass about this. I'm just trying to find options. if you have any direct questions hit me at grypes[at]gmail[dot]com)

Mix CD ExPro! v2.0 (It has begun!)

Mon, 16 Apr 2007 08:46:56 -0500

presenting:
The Threadless Mix CD Exchange Program 2: The Revenge of the 80 Minute Musical Storms

List Closed

The theme this round is: The soundtrack to my current life!. This way there is a still a loose boundary but you're still picking songs that you CURRENTLY relate to instead of just picking things to fit the story.

All mailing lists have been sent out!
I used a much more comprehensive system this round. It should be infinitely easier to track people.

No anonymity this time. I'm sorry if that discounts you. But this time no codes to protect you from stalkers.

The discs will be expected to be in transit on June 7th.

Questions will be addressed from this point on:

F.A.Q.
Q:If I was in the last exchange am I automatically in this one?
A:Nope. You have to e-mail me all over again. No carry over.
