Finally close to completion on the shirt design. I’m open to any and all criticisms, (I know it looks a little like Kirby), so throw them all my way. There are still a few things I want to change. Hope to see some comments from you folks!!!

Well, it’s been a few days off of college and I still haven’t been able to pull myself away from doing work on the computer. One good reason was because of the recent AllMightys contest, themed Monsters and Mayhem. I mean, who doesn’t like sketching out a scary monster!? So I was pretty pumped about that and started sketching up a pretty nasty looking monster only to miss the deadline, since it was a European site and I forgot their hours are far ahead. SON OF A BEE-STING!
Anyways, I decided to move forward and work to finish the little guy in hopes of submitting the design to Threadless or GoApe Shirts. Figured it couldn’t hurt to post my sketches for now and show you the final product later (which is cleaning up real nicely) since a lot of viewers have showed interest in my own work. So there it is folks, from the graphite smudged fingers of Ryan Haigh, some good ol’ monster sketches. Enjoy.
*If anyone is curious as to how the ghosts and monster relate, the ghosts will be semi-transparent, flowing out from the monsters throat.
I have neglected to inform you guys of the illustration genius that comes out of Nick Deakin’s fingertips. Whether it’s the big heads, the artistically organized word bubbles, or the frequent chest hair and nipples cartoons he creates, I’m always intreged by his work. Trust me you will be too (as unappealing as that whole chest hair and nipples thing sounded). Give his work a look here.
There’s no doubt about it that The Ultimate Warrior may have been the greatest face painter this world has ever witnessed, but was he just a tad insane? Well, you be the judge.
*Thanks Ricky Raisin Bagel.
Industrial designer Branko Lukic has embarked on a mind-blowing concept for user interaction between consumer and cell phone. The Tarati features holes in the phone, in which passing a finger through will trigger a sensor to dial that number on the phone while having the numbers appear digitally on the interface. Sophisticated, sleek and with a sort of futuristic aesthetic, perhaps this is a option for cell phones to follow. Enjoy the gorgeous video created for the conceptual product as well, right here.

While surfing around on GigPosters.com I came across a Ratatat poster created by Mike Laughead and instantly knew the guy was dope. So I began looking at his work and found he has an outstanding portfolio of work and was even a recent t-shirt winner on Threadless. You can purchase his shirt here or take a look at his portfolio site here. He also has a good collection of work on the Shannon Associates website, which is a great community for striving artists and houses incredible artistic talents.
Accompanied by his feline companion, photographer/painter/Photoshop extraordinare Mattijn creates fantastic pieces of work. Almost as if you’ve just stepped within the pages of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, the photographic compositions of Mattijn create some of the most surreal pieces I’ve ever witnessed. Each photo projects his great skill for photography and Photoshop as well as engulfs you in each photograph’s narrative. Take a look at his Flickr account, it’s worth it.

First off, thank you to the gigantic response to my portfolio post. I appreciate everyone taking a look at my work and I’ll do my best to put more of my work up as well as keeping you viewers entertained with various art links.
We’ll start that off with a little remix Mr. West did, making fun of Rich Boy’s “Throw Some D’s.” Not too bad.
After a much longer hiatus than originally anticipated, I’ve come back to the blog scene ready to please viewers as well as support a view of my own design work. The school year is finally over with so I believe it’s the perfect time to show off a little bit of what I’ve produced over this year’s time. Oh, and the usual eye candy and plethora of fantastic links I typically provide.
So keep your eyes peeled because BigChase is back and will be updated much more. Sorry for those of you who have been checking often and haven’t had any updates in quite some time. I’ll try my best not to disappoint as the summer draws on.
-Ryan
