sweet shirt, i don’t think it has a darkest hour feel, but it’s totally rad.
did anyone else get darkest hour? mine wasn’t approved, but it sucked, so yeah.
let me just tell you SD not to hijack this thread but, discussing a) the price you are getting and then b) bitching about it. to me is a big no no, and why would they want to come back to you now? Do you know their circumstances? maybe they bought a bunch of art already and thats all they could give
the point is, I would never publicly complain about it seeing how the art director is most likely reading this...
and 100 bucks? to me thats easy money, and you know youre not some big timer walking around getting paid 300 bucks a pop like some people here claim they do, you win some you lose some, sometimes you get paid a lot and sometimes you dont.
one of these days youre gonna wish you had that "measly" 100 bucks
this is awesome, i guess i’m the only one still waiting to hear back from bayside. Doublej says it looks good though. Fingers crossed. Derek you’re stuff has gotten 1 billion times better since you first started posting here. This is amazing

no, i did it all wacom in illustrator, i just sketched in light blue first

you were right when u told me u had something comin that would make me jealous and was total grim. although... i have a gnar lil piece on the way myself :) mwhahhaha

Example:
"Hey Derek, I’ve seen your art on Emptees! It’s awesome. Would you be intersted in doing work for us?"
To which I reply:
"Oh I see this message must be intended for Derek Deal, would you like me to forward it to him?"
To which they reply:
"Are you a design firm or something?"
thats crazy, i still dont get how that happens. I mean wrong number or even 'im' makes sense, but wrong email? maybe they just think you look like a derek.

I’m sure it’s because clients email a bunch of people here with the same message and he forgot to change out the name. Happend to me twice already and both times it was your name haha.
Needless to say you got the job and we didn’t haha. Anyways, great work!

kyle said that when i showed him, i didnt even think of his piece, then having it the totd before this one was kind of wierd .
i think ray and i have similar taste in subject matter.
