How about this for a diverse image? It’s Gothic, it’s angelic, it’s grunge, it’s confused but it’s a busy and very active design.

abstractskull-500Here’s a grunge style skull design that hot off the artboard. This was a hard one to complete.

gothwings-thumbHere’s the latest, hot-off-the-press design. I’ve included elements across a couple of styles to achieve this look. There is Gothic, grunge, abstract, tattoo and a little horror mixed in, and the effect (in my humble opinion) is quite dramatic. So, as always, here’s the SEO plug: Goth wings t-shirts, gifts and more

Design Trilogy – Heart Skull

Design Trilogy – Heart Skull

heartskull-thumb

Wow – I’m really on a roll with this one – third in a row of the tattoo style, grunge skull designs. This one took under an hour and I had a lot of fun creating it. This time I decided not to use any text with it, but there can be text if needed – hint, hint! I wonder if Ed Hardy of Christian Audigier will hire me?

Here’s the plug – did you think I would forget it – SEO is important you know! Heart Skull t-shirts, sweatshirts and more! There – that wasn’t so bad now was it?

New Design – Gun Skull

New Design – Gun Skull

gunskull-thumbHere’s the latest in the tattoo design, and it’s got attitude! I wasn’t sure where this one was going but I love where it ended up. It’s another eclectic mix of grunge vectors, with some creative font work and a little aging with a white mesh overlay. This one took two days to complete, mainly because I wanted a certain symmetry, and I wanted an image that looked full. I think I achieved both here. What do you think?

Dog Wing – Bite Me!

It looks like I’m on a roll with the tattoo style designs. I love the way that you can mix and match bits and pieces of any vector to a base tattoo design, and it still looks smokin’ hot. That being said I still need to do the serious, gratuitous plug (it’s SEO you know), so here it is. Lucky Dog Wing t-shirts, gifts and more. That wasn’t so bad now was it?

Provocative Tattoo Style Design

Provocative Tattoo Style Design

redlady-thumbI’m still enjoying mixing styles together. Here I’ve mixed some horror with tattoo art, and added some flare with a sunset backdrop and literal black splash. You’d have thought that these wouldn’t work together, but they do. These tend to form on the fly – it’s mixing and matching and seeing what works. Then again, what works for me is just my opinion! what I am drawn too is color, and using these vectors is very colorful. Now for part of the marketing portion – remember, each one needs it’s SEO plug, so here it is: Red Lady t-shirts, gifts and more. If anyone has any ideas of how to better utilize SEO and SEM, let me know – that’s not my forte.

I have a few more ideas using the tatto0 styles and a whole lot of color – I’ll be working on those when I get a little more spare time. I’m toying with the idea of putting words on some of these, although I’m not so sure what they should say. Let me know if you have ideas about that.

For now though, if you want this design customized (words etc) email me at steve@steve-shead.com, and let me know what you are looking for. If you want to purchase this vector it’s $15.99 (again, email for details) – if you want sole use it’s a whole lot more!

Gangsta – Another New Diverse Design

Gangsta – Another New Diverse Design

gangstaWith me, there’s never normally just one new design release. If I get in ‘that’ groove I usually end up doing at least two – though normally they are in a similar style. So here’s one that is somewhat out of my comfort zone – I have to admit though, I like the design, just not the ‘theme’. You can purchase apparel with this design from the Diversity Design Store (linked on the nav bar), or you can go to http://www.cafepress.com/steveshead and see this alongside all my other designs. The plug (you know SEO needs it!) Gangsta t-shirts, sweatshirts and more. Someone told me that site cross linking helps SEO, also consistently plugging the same ‘phrase’ – well, we’ll see about that!

If you want this design customized (word etc) email me at steve@steve-shead.com, and let me know what you are looking for. If you want to purchase this vector it’s $15.99 (again, email for details) – if you want sole use it’s a whole lot more!

New Design Release – Mystique Geisha

New Design Release – Mystique Geisha

geisha-mystique-thumbHere’s my latest design release, based on a Japanese Geisha. This one took a few hours to work in the look that I wanted to achieve, especially with the backgrounds and the drop shadows. Normally I don’t use drop shadows on images that I am using for apparel, but I thought it would make this image pop – which it did.

Here’s the SEO plug: Mystique Geisha t-shirts, gifts and more. You can order this one from my Cafepress store by click on the ‘store’ link in the navigation bar above, or by going directly to my Cafepress store here.

If you want to purchase this vector, let me know using the contact form below. For general use the cost will be $15.99 – for full ownership the cost will be much higher!

Logos and Banners

I have a lot of fun creating graphics, you might just notice that. These are fun images for logos and banners and such – mixing graphics with words – using fonts to make the images pop. I had a blast creating these, and there are plenty more where they came from – but I don’t want to fill the page, just yet!

Sample Designs

Sample Designs

I do a lot of designing, be it graphics, websites etc. Here’s a whole bunch of different designs I have done in the past, and am still doing now. For images that I need to scale I use Adobe Illustrator – others I use Photoshop, or even a mix of both. I use vectors that I find around the web, as well as vectors that I create myself. Here they are!

All the graphics that I create are available for sale or customization. Email me steve@steve-shead.com with your requirements and contact details and we’ll make it happen.

Subverted Tees:

Here’s three designs I created on the flight back from Hawaii earlier this year. They are all based on a tattoo style – the originals are in Illustrator format, and the PNG’s I use for printing are 6000 x 6000 pixels @ 200 dpi.

[nggallery id=1]

Evil Clown:

I’m not sure what was going through my mind when I created these, but they seem to sell well on apparel! I started with black and white outlines for each of these, and worked in layers to add color – then added the extra ‘stuff’ to form the final images.

[nggallery id=2]

Skulls:

Here is a selection of skull designs that I have created. I love the grunge look with skulls and other abstract design elements mixed in. The eclectic mix of styles in these three make for diversely different styles, but all have their own impact.

[nggallery id=3]

Abstract Color:

These are all very colorful images so classifying them isn’t so easy. What I really like is the diversity of them all. A mixture of styles within each image and that’s why I have put them together – for now.

[nggallery id=4]

With Words:

Another different bent on a graphic design. These three images are diversely different in design, but are framed by words – and that makes them ‘seem’ like they came from the same genre. Agree?

[nggallery id=6]

Grainy:

Take a design and add some aging effects – and there are a lot of those effects around. The most simple is to take a splatter pattern and overlay it on the image. Don’t resize it if it isn’t big enough, overlay a copy and move it around – it works.
