We have been working on this new Custom T-Shirt Module for some time now. Orginally inspired by our americanpig.com project - the idea was to have limited run shirts that can be customized on the fly. We worked with our close friends at Dirty Bandits to develop of Flash application that would build Shopping Cart variables then populate a shopping cart. We had to over many challenges from Order Processing, Pantone Swatch Colors, American Apparel T-Shirt colors, Print Proceedures, Attriute Handeling and Shipping - but all in all - it was an AMAZING Success!

Defcon Todd and I are planning some major changes and some down right interesting things for Defcon. After the split from C3 Distribution we are revamping our marketing strategies to bring something new and exciting to the table. Watch out for some rabbit holes along the way - I mean for real - watch out - its dark in there.

I am traditionally a fine art designer - what that means is my background comes from freehand drawing (still lifes and human forms) print making, painting, etc. Because Adobe Illustrator is so cool, yet so rigid, I needed to find a fine balance between my sketchbooks and beautiful Vector Art. I present to you (drum roll please…) The Pencil Tool.

Now this is not just any pencil tool in the tool kit - its a fine tuned vector forming machine! For a while there I was doing a lot of Photographic Rotoscoping for projects - actually I still employ these pricipals today - all the time. What I learned is that Pencil tool needs some love - If you double click on the Pencil toolin Illustrator you can set the Tolornce, Roundness and Threshold for editing purposes.Try using the settingsbelow - or create one that fits your Drawing style. Combine this technique with a WACOM tablet - and watch out Picaso - its on - vector style!

Here is an example of a photo that I Rotoscoped. Love you Grandpo!
