Urban Samurai t-shirt design

Hello BSV people and fans! I just came back from Japan, simply amazing! You should go there if you never been there yet! Specially if you’re interested in character design, well, that’s the Country. Anything has a character: billboards, signage, packaging, public and private companies, even the police has a little cute character (called Pipu if I’m not wrong) on their stations’ signs!
Well, by the way, just back from Japan I put this new design on LaFraise. I really hope you’ll enjoy it and score it (and maybe share it around). Arigato Gozaimas ^_^

“HORROR FOREST” Series

Filter017 the product and visual interpretation of the theme, particularly the joy of feeling different from the past, choose relatively heavy design with dark irony, presents “Horror Forest” theme, would like to call people to the issue of environmental protection, and self-vigilance !

Design was quoted in the United States 50-60 years, the mascot of the Environmental Protection marked with signs, the original “happened before to remind the” change to “after the event, condemned” the use of contrast and irony of the re-explained ” Horror Forest “the main line, Filter017 hope images show a” natural response “and” Forest of the roar, “the fear.

To “Horror Forest” series published by the subject goods, in addition to the image with the meaning of “natural” as the foundation of the design, style and type of commodity is also biased in the Outdoor, the themes and products to do for each other echoes, but also encourage people in addition to work, they often have to go outside and feel the beauty of the earth remaining, and step by step to awaken people’s awareness of nature conservation.

Filter017 X EGGCORN RABBIT “SWEET EGGCORN”

After Rody Texi, this time, Filter017 meet 909Toy the eggcorn rabbit to the old theme of American snacks packaging, design painting into a full retro sweet taste of “SWEET EGGCORN“.
For the retro elements and colors have been very loved, so collected a lot of American snacks packaging design, for example, the familiar Kellogg, Pepsi, Nestle’s KitKat, etc …, these elements and color scheme can be in SWEET EGGCORN found in the design of Icon.
Adults and children love to make crazy snacks, in addition to sweet taste, the vision must be to catch, so we selected Filter017 common, red, yellow, blue, white with black. Too sweet and strong; contrast also fragrant.

January 7, 2004,
After a 6-year retention period,
I still sweet smell,
South Sunlight of cocoa,
meets crispy peanut,
I still believe
Only melts in your mouth – not in your hand.

Demons & Diamonds

This originally started out as a client based playing card project but once I realized the scope of it I decided to bring a few other artists on board. Other artists consisted of fellow BSV members CuypiZombieCorp and Niark. All 3 designers I got to know over the last few years and had grown to respect as individuals and artists. Our styles all seemed to work together to create an overall theme and feel.

This project was started late last year and is still in production. No word yet on when these will become available to purchase, but I will def let everyone know.
