On Moving On and Other Notable Subjects

I am posting here today to announce the relaunch of my design site curtisedesign.com! Please point yourself over to check out some new updated work, some you may have seen posted here, some completely new.

On another note, you may notice this new site has a blog built in, and as so I will no long be posting to this blog. It was a nice run, over 160 posts, over 250 comments, all over the past year and a half. 

But now I will have a clean slate to work with, new topics, new ideas, new work, and hopefully anyone who reads or views my blog will join me over at my new site and give me comments of love!

See you on the flip side!

Post 160!

Lately I really suck at this blog thing, could life get any more busy?

Anywho, here is a fun thing I put together, maybe you will like it?  I did.

Design Friends

Hello friends and foes, I have all but completely and outrightly miss treated this blog as of late, but I promise these things will change in the near future for this poor neglected blog.

Until then, you can set your sets to a little blog contribution called Design-Friends me and my two friends from good ol' Art Institute, Danni and Mayra, are putting together and posting to twice a week.

Check out Danni and Mayra's blogs here and here (respectively).

I will be posting my first of hopefully many posts on that blog tomorrow night, but for now you can check out both posts by Danni and Mayra who seem to have made me look like a blog flake (as Mayra would put it).

Also, for now you can feast your eyes on my quick little design square I made for the blog tonight, my very first contribution!

See you all soon!

John Lennon + Beautiful Motion Graphics = Made my Day

Thanks to Stephanie and Sam for showing me this, please watch until the end.

It just gets better and better.

Retro Izzy

So I did this for the Threadless voting a little while back, but I never got to show it in its full glory, so here it is! Izzy goes Saved by the Bell.

Killer Robot Time

A little something extra to a post I made a little while back, hope you like it!

Lower Case T - Circa 5 Years Old

Little illustration I did that ultimately didn't get picked up, I still kinda like it though and hope you will as well.

Tarot Cards

Some modern Tarot card illustrations I worked on at work. Originally part of a bigger picture but I thought I would pull out the covers for your viewing pleasure. Please enjoy.

Propaganda

It's been a while, but here is a short series of posters I have been working on at work. Please enjoy.

It's been a while...

Life Under a R...

By Curtis Elliott

Book Preview

...and I apologize, I will try to relieve the fact that I have been the worstest blogger in the blog universe for the past month. But here I am today with a little update. As you will see above I am linking to my little book I did a while back...and you may wonder, "why is that?". Well, Blurb is now offering what I always wanted, a hardcover wrap print. What this means is that you no longer have to fuss with the dust jacket on the hardcover version (which is my most favorite kinda of book), the image is printed right there on the cover.

So go ahead, don't be afraid...buy one. Oh, and while your at it, buy me one too :) (help a broke guy out)

UT!!!

click to watch my loops I made! The first is good, the second sucks but I duno how to delete it.

Enjoy and make your own and share!

Rebel Yell

Look what we have here... a Threadless post? Must be the first in almost a year! Hope you like it, hope you vote on it, please give it high marks good fellows.

Check back to vote in the next few days when it's officially up for review.

In Case You Missed It...

Oiler, The Bestest Cat in the World

Hello, and welcome to post 5 out of 5 of the childhood illustration series. This particular piece focuses on my childhood cat, who passed on last year at 17 years of age. She was the best cat to me even though she was quite grumpy when I was younger. Here she is depicted waiting outside the bathroom door like she often had done.

I hope you have enjoyed this series of illustrations, 5 illustration posts in 10 days coming to an end. Look forward to more posts in the future, and many other new things.

Shirt.Woot!

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday. If you would be ever so kind to direct yourself over to shirt.woot, you will see that I have my very first illustration up for sale on the site today and today only. If you would be ever so kind as to buy a few of these shirts and tell your friends the same I would think you were way cooler than I thought you were before you did so.

Thanks, and as always, please enjoy!
