Logotasticle

Hey guys, what you been up to? Great, glad to hear it. Who me? Well funny you should ask, I've been working on a logo for the Gillamonster's DJ company. Jeff "Magilla-Gorilla" Gill was my pledgemaster from my frat in college and has become a close friend that always seems to be there to get me into trouble whenever it's least convenient. He and our boy Trey have been DJing all over Hoboken, JC, and Manhattan for 2 years now and decided to join forces and start their own entertainment company. For a while now Crown Fire has been just an idea, a dream, something to talk about when we're drunk... But now that Jeff finds himself living the Office Space nightmare in his current job, he's become motivated to make some moves and get this idea off the ground. Knowing the skills I keep claiming to posses, Jeff put it to me to make create some crazy logo for them...

2 months and many false starts later, Jeff is getting pissed at my unenthusiastic approach to his 'great idea' and decides that the only way to get me moving is to sit me down, get me stoned and make me just start drawing. Results were sketchy at first (hahahaha, what a pun!) but then I got into it and came out with some good results.

The original sketch (on top) was done in pencil and then scanned and inked in Photoshop (on bottom)

You can see larger images of both by following the links.. booya

And here is the colored version:

The eyes still need to be finished and the whole thing needs some little adjustments, but overall that's going to be the large logo for the website.

There's still the smaller, tighter, iconic logo that I am working on right now, so ya'll can look forward to that in the upcoming days...


Holy Zombie Jesus it's
- the jOn!!!
