Where have you been?

Posted by Orkron | Uncategorized | Tuesday 30 June 2009 11:26 am

If you’re wondering where I’ve been, or simply why I’m not updating regularly anymore I am very sorry! For some time now I’ve been selling T-shirt designs through Spredshirt.com; I design, they sell and make the shirt and ship it to the customer. This has been okay, but recently a colleague and I have decided to take it a step furthur (or closer might be a better description). I have been working my tail off building an e-commerce platform to sell our shirts from; and they have been busy bees getting the equipment and the business front established.

The bottom line is in a few weeks we plan to launch our new T-shirt business featuring Orkron designs (to start). Thanks for your patience while my attention is focused elsewhere. I promise to add a more content soon!

Vectorizing my Boss

Posted by Orkron | Photoshop | Wednesday 3 June 2009 11:21 am

Yesterday I got to turn my boss into a cartoon; I do love my 9-5 sometimes haha! I spend a lot of my day mantaining our company blog and the “home” page was just the saddest thing ever! I wanted to brighten it up with a banner welcoming our employees to the site.

I told Susan what I wanted to do (with a “cartoon” version of her) for the banner and she loved the idea! So voila - it’s my boss in vector cartoon format!

Well my 9-5 is fine; I learn stuff all the time and enjoy it for sure. What I really love is my night-life design job; Only that would have me out at 1 am taking pictures of exotic dancers!

The girl is Khaos (stage name of course), and she’s sporting a black spaghetti strap shirt featuring the branding of Big Daddy graphic design company; he makes custom shirts for any occasion (especially the NSFW ones!). This is one of my favorite shots after two days of shooting; of course I can’t show the “other” ones - this isn’t that kind of blog! I like this one because the angle, and her expression are just awesome.

Of course, I had to shoot these while the girls were working, so the backgrounds and the general lighting wasn’t ideal. I decided to use Photoshop to do some tweaks, clean up some blemishes and blur out the background. Hope you like!
