As we blogged about before, this past Wednesday night for September’s Art Walk we were invited to illustrate along side fellow AIGA members: Ashley Hazen, Ed Hall, Karen Kurycki, Katy Garrison, and Varick Rosete. The event was called Atomic Sketch and it was unanimously considered to be a good time and successful experiment—not to mention eventful in raising funds for the Jacksonville chapter of AIGA. The event went down with the artist spread out across a number of set-up tables drawing, painting and inking live for all those who would happen to walk by.

The pressure was on as we started, but in no time everyone started to go with the flow and have fun with what we all like to do. Everyone was quite focused yet took time here and there to greet and speak with interested people from the audience of Art Walk observers. It was great to see the interest of both kids and adults. We definitely had a great time and hope to do this again sometime.

To see all the photos taken from the event, and all of the artist’s work produced that night, check out the AIGA Jacksonville Flickr page. Also, check out this video from Florida Times Union.

Below here are the pieces that we contributed throughout the night.

My other shirt is a V neck…

Ok this past weekend a friend of mine, Nick Heath, asked if i could make him some shirts for him and his friends. He wanted the shirts to say “My other shirt is a V-neck”. It’s simply a joke they had between each other. It’s in response to the countless number of kids that you see wearing v-neck t-shirts everyday. Anyways, I thought it was pretty funny so I hooked him up with some shirts.

The shirts I made for him were white with black ink. I forgot to take a picture of them, so last night i made another one. This time I printed white on black. I came across some white opaque ink I ordered a while back and hadn’t tested out yet. The ink looks good on the shirt, but the it is extremely thick and dries with a quickness in the screen. Such a nightmare to clean. 

 

That wasn’t the only shirt I made this week. As some of you might already know, Jimmy and I submitted art work for the Beards & Brushes art show. We talked about how funny it would be to have Fridge shirts that had mustaches on them, so I went ahead and made a few.

These aren’t official fridge shirts mentioned earlier. We came up with these to help promote the Beards & Brushes show this coming up this Saturday, since we are participating in it. Plus a fridge with a mustache just looks kind of funny. We are only printing them this week. UPDATE: we are selling them for $5. If your interested in getting one just shoot me an email: nickv@artbehindthefridge.com. Make sure to include the size.
