Space Shuttle's Final Liftoff

February 24, 2011

KINDA SAD ABOUT THIS ONE: Today’s the last Space Shuttle liftoff, and it’s making me sad. I was raised with that vessel cemented into my head, and the frontiers it could take us to. The graphics, the astronauts, the Bicentennial logo on that big hangar, the Helvetica Bold on the wings. All of it. Even the Lego set. Damn. And just a couple minutes ago I checked the CNN to see today was the last liftoff. Couldn’t help but feel a little sad about it.

Anyhoo, what you are seeing above it a logo I made last year for the “final year logo contest,” which I of course missed by a mile, horribly. Oh well. I’m they picked some Corel Draw nightmare, so I’m not gonna go looking for the link.

That’s my submission for it, that I never formally submitted. Oh well.

USUALLY, WHEN THE BAND HIRES ITS LITTLE BROTHER, THINGS GO BAD: But not in this case. Michael Carney designs up all the Black Keys shit, and does a hell of a job with all of it. Won a Grammy, even.

TOMORROW NIGHT, CENTRAL OREGON: PUSH Skatedeck Art Show and Auction! Tomorrow night! Bend, Oregon. Hottest ticket in town. I’ve got a deck in the deal, and hope it raises a nice mint for the Division Street Skate Park Project, which, I would’ve used a bunch, if it was 1993. Etcetera.

Here’s the deck I made for their 2009 show. So fun. Had a blast painting it up.
