EWLS Tag Team Belts

I was asked to see if I could design a tag team belt for the EWLS. It was a real challenge. They wanted to have a sticker printed out that would be applied to a metal plate. I looked at tons of belts online, and it was really hard to take these beautiful 3D belts and make it into a simple sticker. In the end this is what I came up with.
They were said to be happy with the design.


Dan Payson

In the last while Ive been to a good amount of Indy shows. Ive noticed that guys like "Canadian Crazyhorse" Michael Elgin and Dan Payson are over huge! Yet i've never seen them pushing any merch. I thought to myself those two guys need a t-shirt....so I started a ruff (very ruff) concept for Dan Payson. I saw Dan at the last UWA show and he did have a new shirt oddly enuff. This is what I had come up with for him. Its a direct take on what WWE is doing for Santino.


CWR Event Poster

Here is one of the posters I did while CWR was running. Something simple and last minute to help promote a show.


CWR Logo Concepts

The first time I saw a CWR show I became an instant fan. They put on a great show despite the fact that the "headlining" talent was unable to get across the border into Canada. With some last minute reshuffling of the cards an tremendous event took place. I was sold ! I went home and joined the form and contacted Frank "the Tank" to see if I could help out in anyway. I started to make DVD covers, did some logo work, and even tried some t-shirt concepts. In the end CWR is no longer, but I still enjoyed what I did see. Here is some of the work that I doubt will ever get used.

Flatliners Design.............




A design I was working on for wrestling tag team the "FLATLINERS."
However It wont be getting used as a t-shirt at this time.
I always like to do a few variants so people can see what might look good. I find that be giving options the customer is usually very happy with the outcome. Often going in a direction that he/she had never thought of prior.
Feedback welcome as always

CWR Completed Designs



When I had gone to my first CWR show I was hooked ! It was something new, something fresh, something exciting. I wanted to (try and) contribute what I could to this product. I had often made up my own custom DVD covers for shows I attended. I thought I would ask CWR if they were interested in using one of my covers. They were, and I designed the cover (posted on this blog) for "BACK IN BUSINESS." I think the cover turned out well and was happy with the end product. I had begun doing other covers for CWR, trying to create ruff covers for upcoming shows. I had spoken quickly to Frank "the tank" @ CWR and he said he was happy with the cover. However since that time I haven't spoken to Frank, and have no idea if they are interested in using my designs.
These designs take time, some hours to complete. I don't mind, I do it because I enjoy it and feel it helps the product. Its nice to be shown a little gratitude for the hard work, be it a copy of a DVD, some free tickets, etc. In reality its easier for me to simply be a fan, pay my $10 and take my seat. As is these are designs I had started that I doubt will get used. Please ignore the "void" and low resolution.
Thanks
