Chris Leavens: March 2009 Archives

Rhyolite, NV, a ghost town just northeast of Death Valley.

More to come on this, but in case you didn't already hear it via my Twitter feed, I'm one of the top ten winners in the Artsprojekt Labz T-shirt design contest.

One interesting detail: I wasn't entirely sure I entered the contest until they emailed me and told me I won. I received an invite on one of my illustrations, Calling the Sun, through my flickr profile. I always just accept the invitations as it's a good way to spread the word. It appears as if the word has definitely been spread this time around.

This not only means there will be a Calling the Sun T-shirt, it also means that I'll be joining the Artsprojekt community and designing and hopefully selling different products. I'll provide details as they're available.

In other news, I'm feverishly working on more illustrations, one a collaboration, another, a two-page spread for an Argentinian design magazine (South America loves my work). More to come!

I guess by this point, my love for the color orange is no secret. I've loved it ever since I can remember being able to like anything. Weird. Close-up detail images after the jump.

A broken, breezy world under repair (Illustration Friday, topic: breezy).

I put a lot of time into this one and I feel pretty good about it. Hope all the work shows.
