Email back from drop dead

Below is a screen shot of the email I sent out to drop dead asking for some work or contacts to some of the designers, I received an email today which was great and basically told me a lot about the company and how it is small and filled with certain designers. I heard that they so not give out a lot of free lance work but I was asked to send a digital portfolio over which would be then passed on to the designers.

Below are some screen shots of my illustration portfolio:

Then I went straight in to full images as that is the area which would be looked at.

My strongest went first

Then I sandwiched together some weaker pieces with stronger to make the reader still look through.

This was my weakest but I thought I would still put it in.

I then finished off with some outcome products:

And gave a preview of some of the work I have been doing for front.

and 'DEAD FAMOUS'

To finish with I added a little preview of my work for the artilleries christmas party.

I have sent the email off and am just waiting for a reply from them within the next month or so, I will be sending this email out to a few different companies to gain feedback on some of my illustration work to date

DD prints.

I produced some mock up prints to give a better idea what the designs will look like when printed taking into consideration (colour and layout) rather than print quality and materials used.

This vest shows an old school faded version of the octopus design for 'We all carry these things inside that no one else can see, they tie us down like anchors they drown us at the sea'

I am very pleased with the outcome, the layout looks really cool and I wouldn't change a thing with the outcome of this. the layout and design looks wicked.

The design composition for 'I am the ocean. I am the sea, there is a world inside of me' works out really well.

I think the fact that it is faded adds to the design in such a traditional old school kind of way

'Now you sold our friendship, your on your fucking own'

The layout for this particular design works very well and the colours have worked out really well.

The image is placed on the front so the whole image can be seen rather than the side where it may not be as obvious.

This image may look cool with Jesus on the front and darth on the back, placed along the left rib cage, giving it a purpose of placement.

Monroe turned out really well, 'we are all movie stars'

I love how subliminal the t shirt looks without taking into consideration the bottom 45% where the design is, it makes people look twice and think what is that!

This is my favourite out of the bunch, put into context it looks really cool and fits the drop dead pre existing designs very well, 'If sorrow could build a staircase or tears could lead the way, we would climb our way to heaven and bring him back again'

The colour choice works out very well for this design and I am very pleased about its appearance. I have also ordered a full colour professionally printed t shirt with this design on to see what it would look like if a different approach of heat transfer and print was taken.
