"a pursuit of integrity, simplicity and grace."

my first tattoo design

I do not have any tattoos, or any real intentions of getting one.
But I do have a friend who decided he not only wanted one, but wanted me to design it for him.
So I did, and this is what we ended up with.

noel

I have a friend who asked if I could make a label for a christmas beer he brewed.

He named the beer Noel, so thusly the name of the beer is KMNO

(…because there is no L)

He also likes American history and presidents, so FDR was also decided upon as being involved.

Presidents can be tricky people to draw though, so here is what I originally ended up with.

I was short on time and caring at that point, but was happy with how the type turned out.

I didn't get to try the beer, nor see how it turned out as a label, which is unfortunate, but I still enjoyed creating it all the same.
