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.

To suggest that this past year was exhausting, is quite the understatement. The amount of all nighters pulled by Mr. Ryan Haigh may have made the average man cry himself to sleep. However, I’m quite alright and persevered throughout the onslaught of design challenges and created a portfolio that I’m quite proud of.On top of that, I’m currently in the semi-finalist round for the Adobe Design Achievement Awards. To my dismay, I must wait until June 4th to find out if I’m one of three finalists, so cross your fingers for me and I will soon load a bunch of photos pertaining to my submission to Adobe which I was also extremely pleased with.So back to the matter at hand…the portfolio. Do me the pleasure of taking a glance at the work I’ve put several long nights and early mornings into. Keep in the back of your mind while glancing that I am available for freelance work as well as scouting out an internship opportunity for the summer. Head on over to my Contact section if you wish to get a hold of me.
pp. 1-5 note just a few of the submitted pieces to the 2007 Adobe Design Achievement Awards based upon gender diversity on the Rochester Institute of Technology campus.
pp. 6 & 7 were both Flash-based interactive projects (one being a personal portfolio and the other an interactive learning experience geared towards the game of soccer).
pp. 8-10 were a campaign for the 2007 Student One Show competition relating towards environmental issues by the use of corny, gimmicky advertisements supported with factual statements regarding some environmental problems we face.
p. 11 was a page spread for a JetBlue 10k report. The report was shortened and simplified into clever icons and large type to break up the monotonous body type.
p. 12 is a series of icons developed for the new Wegmans Blue Menu food packaging labels. The labels inform consumers of the ingredients as well as include a “Yes, No, High, Low” systematic approach.
p. 13 may be by far my favorite portfolio page. A poster for the creative group Dinamo Ink. was created as well as the same design slightly modified and applied to a child’s t-shirt. Cute stuff huh?
p. 14 was the result of some of the longest hours ever spent constructing a shark package for a ducky challenge. Clever packaging had to be created in order to house an average rubber ducky, which brought about “There’s a Ducky in my Belly.”
p. 15 is a large printmaking print created and exhibited in the Gallery R Benefit gala event.
p. 16 includes two past digital mixed media illustrations created a year ago.
