Basics
Hydro 74 and Pale Horse Design proudly present the “Back in Black” T-Shirt Exhibit – Showcasing limited-edition, one-color t-shirt designs by some of the world’s leading digital artists (who are the backbone of many of the major apparel brands we see today).
The purpose of this show is to highlight the artwork of the uncelebrated designers whose art you’ve probably been collecting in your closet for years, as well as to establish the t-shirt as a new medium for fine art.
The Exhibit
November 22nd from 4:00PM – 10:00PM @ Pale Horse Gallery – St. Petersburg, FL
During the exhibit
Attendees can check out original t-shirt designs by 20 of the best t-shirt artists/designers in the business. (Free admission)
If you like what you see, buy a t-shirt. You can purchase as many as you want. ($15 each)
Pick your t-shirt color, t-shirt size and design placement based on options available.
(Guys and girls sizes available. Colors and sizes available while supplies last.)
Your t-shirt is screen printed on site by Noah Deledda of Thx Mgmt.
Wear your art home!
New Ink!
October 25, 2008
So, last weekend I went up to South Dakota to spend a little time with the folks on my B-day and get a new tattoo as a gift to myself. I new I wanted an armband that said “ShanesArt” as a type treatment and I’d been trying to come up with something for the past few weeks. I must have changed the design about 50 times before I hit the right one. That sucked because most of them were hand drawn. The design I went with is shown below. It stung like a bitch on the inside of my arm but turned out amazing! I’m extremely happy with the job that Steve O’ at Wild Idea Tattoo did and highly recommend him to anyone looking for new ink! Light and steady hand all the way. Thanks again Brotha!
I was also honored to have my folks get tattooed on my B-day. Pops got a soccer ball that I designed to symbolize his life in the sport. It shows the ball “new” on one side and “worn out” on the other side. Moms got a one off version of my logo on her outer calf. That actually blows my mind. Talk about representin’! Thanks guys, it meant a lot to me! Plus, I had a blast! – S

New SketchBook and Moleskin
June 29, 2008
Just wanted to show everyone the latest supplies I received via “Josh” over at Hydro74. Hydro74 just released an etched Sketchbook and chemical washed Moleskin with his design on them and I felt like I had to have them. So, right away I ordered the sketchbook and after a couple of days of admiring the top notch quality of design/etching that was put into it I decided to order the Moleskin. However, to my surprise, that very day Josh had sent me one in the mail. It was just as awesome looking as the sketchbook. Now let’s just hope I put the same quality of work onto their pages. Thanks again Bro for the gift! – S

The image below was created for their mother, my aunt Marsha. She asked me to design a tattoo armband with the Twins names in it. I think it turned out nice. Now, we’ll have see if she gets it. The top is the pencil sketch that I came up with and the bottom is the final vector image. Enjoy – S
