PAIN!

2010-04-22T21:46:00.001-07:00

Back by popular demand and/or playoff demand, the Pronger shirts are being restocked for your pleasure. Available only at VeteransShirtium.com for $10. Get 'em while they're hot.

Whoa...been a while

2010-04-22T10:42:00.000-07:00

Yeah, it's been quite some time since my last post. But, I'm back.

Just started a new job a few weeks back. I'm the web developer at Enroute Computer Solutions in Egg Harbor Twp, NJ. If you've seen their website, you understand why there was a need for a web developer. It's going great so far. I present the new look for their site tomorrow. And importantly, I got my first paycheck today.

For those of you interested in my Philly gear, I now have an on-line store at VeteransShirtium.com. Right now, the store and myself are in Flyers playoff mode:

My store was just featured on The700Level.com in a playoff preview article. The portion of the article that talked about Chris Pronger called for the PAIN! Thanks to Matt P. from The700Level.com for the plug!:

Drew Brees Trade

Nah, not really. Just a photo manipulation I had to do for the National Football Post's Drew Brees promotion.

We're Still The Team To Beat

2009-05-07T11:54:00.000-07:00

I'll be printing the shirts I design and like the most all summer during the Phillies season. This is my latest design that I really liked. Because I'm seeing all these sham teams rise up and get the spotlight on ESPN like the Royals, Blue Jays, Rangers, etc. But, the last time I checked, we're still the team to beat. We have the rings and right now we're atop the standing in our division. So with that said, I'm taking orders for this shirt:

As always, 10 bucks a shirt. Also, I'm getting a second order together for this shirt:

So, let me know which shirts you want. JoePekula@gmail.com

High Rollers Logo

2009-05-06T13:33:00.001-07:00

This is a 1-color design I knocked out for a bunch of hooligans in Maryland. They are the High Rollers roller hockey team. This is going to appear on their jerseys and T-shirts. Don't ask me about the idea behind the design haha.

Will post photos of the jerseys as they come.

More Zombie Love

2009-04-28T14:46:00.000-07:00

I don't know if you know this or not, but I love zombies. Here's some more proof.

Braaaaaaaaaains...

2009-04-23T13:34:00.001-07:00

Feeling brain dead over here. So brains. Just brains.

Bahaha I'm flattered.

2009-04-23T07:08:00.001-07:00

Imitated, but my friends, never duplicated.

My Design from 3 years back:

And here goes a crappy CafePress shirt I saw today:

My shirt was also made in the USA. I just didn't brag about it.

Mets suck

2009-04-16T19:21:00.001-07:00

And they choke. A lot. Here's the latest T-shirt design. 2 Colors on Light grey/White.

Taking orders now. JoePekula@gmail.com. $10.

I give you The Colonel

2009-03-03T16:33:00.000-08:00

Here's a poster illustration I've been working on today. I call him The Colonel. I hope you enjoy his rugged good looks. Someday, I aspired to have a mustache as strong and powerful as his. Someday.

What I've been working on

2009-02-19T19:21:00.000-08:00

Since my last post, I've been watching a lot of basketball. The Sixers are making a nice run sitting at the 7th seed right now..hopefully going to make a push for the 5th seed or so by the playoffs. With that, I've been inspired to do a Nike campaign for Nike basketball. I've titled the project Perfection, as it's what all players chase after through themselves, through their play, and through their teamwork. I've chosen some of the most popular Nike athletes to be the face of this campaign. Check it out:

Ch-Check it out

2009-02-02T16:19:00.000-08:00

Got some inspiration to do some graffiti work. Granted this is just on poster board, but I figured I'd try my hand at making a stencil and using some spray paint for the first time

What up Fatlip?

2009-01-26T12:19:00.000-08:00

So, what's all new in my world? I know it's my first post since that traumatic loss to the AZ Cardinals. But, I've got some good stuff cooking.

For starts.. my new site is underway. It's been fully designed, just being programmed at this moment. Right now, all I can give you is this tiny taste:

Let me know what you think. Some of the stuff in this screen shot has already been changed, but for the most part this is the look and feel.

Aside from my makeover, I'm doing some other stuff. I updated all of my creative suite programs...some of my programs were ancient. So with that, I bought a bunch of manuals and I'm currently reading them from front to back. Starting with Flash. It's never bad to read a manual and see if you can learn a few new tricks along the way.

Also, I'm currently working on a stop-motion animation...so be on the lookout for that in the future.

That's about all I can think of right now. Oh yeah. Just got Hellboy II from Netflix. So, that's gonna be enjoyable. Peaceeeeeeee.

Enn Eff Cee Championship

2009-01-13T15:10:00.000-08:00

Because of my undying love for the Eagles football franchise, and my love for designing posters, I took on a project with Camilo to design a old style poster for the upcoming NFC championship game. The design is based off of some old school boxing match posters, and since this match up will be pretty epic, I hope the design matches the intensity.

Two new posters

2009-01-08T12:24:00.000-08:00

Here's a couple more posters for this week that I did. Which one do you like more?

Two Noobs

2009-01-06T16:16:00.000-08:00

And another one

2008-10-17T15:56:00.000-07:00

Damn. Weiden+Kennedy can't miss. They do it again. They drop my jaw with another spine tingling Nike football ad. Check this ad for Nike. Watch it two or three times.

Pretty sweet 60 seconds to sum up Troy Palamalu and Ladanian Tomlinson's life, wouldn't you say?

If you remember back to last season, Weiden+Kennedy had a similar dueling personnas ad with Shawn Merriman and Stephen Jackson. I'm not sure which one I like better, but they both DEFINITELY are super effective.

That's all for now. I have to run to Sports Authority and get some Nike football pads now.

He's a what? He's a what? He's a newspaper man!

2008-10-17T15:31:00.000-07:00

Ahh some more stuff I designed. This time Tv on the Radio. Here's the design for a show in San Diego. See if you can recognize any of the faces cut up.

Whistle while you work.

2008-10-15T05:49:00.000-07:00

Ahhhh, just got a new job last week at an ad agency in South Jersey, and I've got the scars to prove it. I was already injured on the job from this:
I sliced open my thumb with a razor. Pretty deep gorging cut, but it's all good though. I'm getting paid good money to do good things. So, I'm happy.

Do it do it do it do it. The whole world be rockin' to it to it to it to it.

2008-10-14T16:22:00.000-07:00

Here's some flier work I did last week for DJ Sammy Slice, a local Philly favorite.

Gig posters

2008-10-04T13:36:00.000-07:00

Recently, I've been working on some gig posters for some different bands. Sort of regressing back to high school when all I did was make posters for local bands. Well anyway check 'em out here:

That's all I got right nowwww.

Mr. Hammond, I think we’re back in business!

2008-10-02T22:13:00.000-07:00

Hey. A few weeks back some friends of mine told me to check out vistaprint.com. It's a sweet site to get things printed inexpensively. Well I took a dip into my funds and got some nice business cards printed up. Got my branding down with the site design and now the cards and all other materials.

Note to self: Expect business to skyrocket!

You take one down, you toss it around...

2008-10-02T21:52:00.000-07:00

Right now I'm working on some different beer bottle labels. I just finished up "Uncle Joe's Old World Brew". Just wanted to encompass the old world styling of all the brew I love. This obviously is paying homage to me. This is it down below.

I'll Upload some pictures of the brown bottles with the labels on when I can get them printed out.

Now, it's onto my next beer bottle design....SAILOR STOUT!

Action Jackson!

2008-10-02T14:30:00.000-07:00

The wide receiver savior has entered Philadelphia. Check this design I put together honoring Desean Jackson. I will be printing this design on T-shirts soon. Not sure if it will be 1, 2, or 3 color design on the T-shirts. Check out the 3-color here:

When I get them printed, I'll be sure to upload some photos.

How do you feel about Action Jackson?
