I can't look at skulls anymore.
Not one more, it's utterly meaningless to me, it's not edgy or poetic, or aesthetic, it's just a lazy trendy pointless substitute for an idea.
I've never bought anything with a skull on it, neither will I, for myself or anyone else, it is an insult to me, as a designer's audience member to be presented with a skull - it's as if they are saying - hey you, cunt - you know fuck all about what looks good, what has meaning, or what has been created in the last 20, you're a fucking brainless shithead, get your wallet out - here's a skull. Buy these mediocre sneakers - the same plastic crap you've been buying for the last 20 years - but this time - theres a shit fucking pen drawing of a skull on it, here you are you fucking retard, here's your new shoes - they got a fucking line drawing of a skull on it, because shoes should be, you know, er...deathy, no - I mean, er edgy, yeh, edgy like a punk (a real punk, no just someone dressed up as a punk) riding a skateboard - somewhere he probably isn't allowed to, yeh - thats what your shoes should say to the people you walk past, because you should be saying things like that to your friends, strangers, neighbors and the like. Tell everyone that sees you that you're er...slightly angry about something, or something. Grrrr! Fucking skulls.
Skulls! there, that told them.
Fucking cocks.- hiJaline

the sheer amount of stuff makes me wonder just how minted joshua is

I'm pretty sure I feel the same way about ornamental flourishes. They
have encompassed the clothing market and anything else. I'm pretty sure
I have even seen flourishes on cereal boxes. Cereal boxes. Seriously? It's gotten to the point where it's like, when all else fails, throw a skull being strangled by a SHIT-TON of flourishes, stars, graffiti bubble clouds and rainbows puking behind some outer space mountains lol.- You forgot the triangle. Triangle is this year's hexagon.Horp
- "Triangle is this year's hexagon."
awesome :)
mikotondria3 - Right right, I know I will probably flex some triangles this year haha.mangosnot

hahaa
- mg330
I'll tell you what I think about Chuck Anderson...
I want his house/office
http://www.formatmag.com/blogs/a…- Fair play, that's nice.Hoax
- What the fuck, does he live in a converted fire escape?Horp
- I'm curious too. It looks like three floors. Can't remember where he lives, I thought Chicago.mg33
- I can't wait to have a house and basement.mg33
- very nice.dibec

Design for Hire?
I'd say his work was more 'Illusrtration', no?
His work is really nice, some amount of time and detail that goes into those illustrations. Props for that.
But really .... Once you have seen one balloon ....
.... You've seen them all!

Wow. This shit sells. Not much more I can say about it. Judging by how many different brands they do shirts for, you can see why a lot of tee brands look the same. Sheesh.
- Horp0
^ I made my transition from design to illustration via graphic tees. I did about three years as a graphics and print designer for street and denim brands in Europe and in the end I just wanted to kill myself. Every brand I ever got called in to always had the exact same reference pictures on their mood board, year after year.
Basically whatever Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister are doing, everyone else copies it.

Does anyone know where to get those shirt templates he is using in the apparel section?
- http://gomedia.us/ar…horton
- you sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.morilla
- not the exact templates that Josh uses, i think he probably does enough to warrant making his own.horton
- ... but i've used these gomedia ones, they're very similar and good qualityhorton
- SteveJobs0
guess i'll be the one to say 'i like'. particularly his dirty new wave stuff.
then again, i don't drench myself in design portfolio's day in and day out to know what the trends are - and i prefer to keep it that way :)
- horton0
damn, harsh comments.
most of you'd be talking like rockstars in the QBN "recent work" thread if you could even produce 1 or 2 tees at Joshua's level. he's an artist, designer, businessman and a father with kids to feed.
much respect.
- Iggyboo0
He's quite talented, I think your just witnessing people being less interested in his overall presentation style. I have to admit I purchased some of his illustration work 2 years ago, his illustration is great.
- horton0
the new Endeavor stuff is really nice... cool to see his style evolve.
