Four new Slide Style™ decks arrived on Monday. I had two new designs pressed, along with two decks from the ’07 lineup.
I snapped a few pics straight out the box… still wrapped in shrink.
Motorcult Modern & Wireframed.rnThese decks both started out as typography/style explorations.

Firebird & SlantBig ups to Dosa Kim for the Firebird illustration. That thing is sick no matter where it lands.

The July 2008 issue of Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement has a nice half-page ad I designed for Advanced Armament Corp.
As the only designer on staff for Wrecked Magazine, I always have a huge task to undertake with each issue. I like to design the cover last… so it it can reflect the vibe of the issue. I’m really pleased how this cover turned out. It definitely represents the issue well, for all those who really do judge books (or in this case, magazines) by their covers.
What started out as a random experiment in typography ended up landing itself as a new deck for Slide Style™.
I can’t wait to see these printed on wood.
After the deck was designed, I implemented the style into an ad appearing in Wrecked Magazine.
After an eternity of waiting… the new batch of Slide Style™ tee-shirts came in. Some of the all-over prints turned out amazing…
especially on the girl tees – pictured here:
I managed to swing a nice retouch for the “Gifts Your Trashy Girlfriend Can Afford” spread in the 2nd issue of Wrecked Magazine:

I launched the new Slide Style™ website today. Since I have been stuck in bed unable to do anything with my shattered collarbone, it gave me a chance to get everything up online. It’s awesome to see a complete catalog of the things we’ve made over the years.

The first Slide Style™ deck came in today! It’s awesome to see something go from screen, to printed wood. This was really just a test run, to see how it would turn out… which was a bit darker than I designed. Overall, the quality is great!
I finished designing the first lineup of Slide Style™ decks!
Not only did the guys at S3 Magazine allow my car to grace their cover… they handed the layout and retouch task off to me. Overall, I’m very pleased with the result! Big thanks to Dosa Kim for the sick firebird illustration on the hood! And to Carlos Richard for the photo for the cover!!

I launched the new Slide America website today! The new site has a ton of new content, and turned out to be a very cool site!
I spent a few minutes on a retouch of a great photo from Formula Drift Atlanta last weekend.
If you’re the photographer who took this… please e-mail me – I want to give credit where credit is due. :)

We got the proof back for the Slide America disc art today. We are going to run the discs using both matte and gloss black inks. It will look like a spot UV, but with actual inks. I’m super excited to see how these turn out!
The magenta represents where the matte black will be screened.
I finished up the final cover for Slide America! This is the final artwork to appear on the DVD that drops in next month.
