Busy and Bikes

I've been swamped around here. --Trying to finish up an online animation project, visiting New York last weekend! a few weekends ago and (still) getting the place in order.Lately, I've gotten to do some lettering for various jobs. Its something I haven't done much of in the past and its been really fun.

One of those projects was for t-shirt designs for the annual Lower East Side Kids' Art Bike Parade. Some first drafts:

Mostly, just fooling around with the lettering placement and different bikes.

The final design:

In the end they wanted ribbon lettering to go with the "2008" ribbon.  I think it came out really cute.  It was printed in black on yellow shirts. 

The parade was a few weekends ago and from the photos it looks like it was a huge hit:

Everyone looks great in their shirts!
