2012 in review

Tyree Studio — Sun, 30 Dec 2012 23:33:34 +0000

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 2,000 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 3 years to get that many views.

Working hard…

Busy week for me.

I will start my new job with the Hutchinson Credit Union next week, but in the mean-time I have 3 acrylic painting commissions, a caricature Christmas card, a custom website, and another logo to work on (I think that’s it?)! Wow! Gonna be hitting the Quick Trip caffeine hard this week.

I can not even begin to thank all those in my life that have supported, prayed for me, listened to me whine, helped me with job leads, resumes, free lunches, etc during these last 9-10 months of job-uncertainty and unemployment. My family and I love and appreciate all of you. It’s been a rough year in a lot of ways, but awesome to see how God has provided for us as well.

God Bless,

Shocker progress

Almost done! Just need to touch up some spots and seal it!

I really appreciate the Cheatum family for letting me hang out in their garage for 2 weeks! This was so much fun, I’d love to try it again. Jayhawk or Wildcat fans (even Texas fans) give me a call!

on to the pics…

God Bless,

Is it basketball season yet?

Tyree Studio — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 05:06:20 +0000

We are in mid/late October already, wow! There is a bite to the morning air, the leaves are changing colors and the days are getting shorter. Winter, the holidays and college basketball season are just around the corner. In the spirit of college hoops I’ve hit the floor this week, literally, to paint the Wu Shock logo for probably one of the biggest Shocker hoops fans in the state of Kansas. We have a 9′ x 9′ space cleared out on his garage floor for Wu. The concrete is doing a number on my knees and neck but it’s well worth it. I have never worked on a concrete canvas before, but it is going on nicely and I am excited to complete this project (hopefully this week). If the Shox make the tournament this year I am charging my client extra

Here are some progress pics so far…

Go SHOCKERS!

God Bless,

Happy Anniversary

Can’t believe it’s been 6 years already! I love you more today than I did in 2006 babe!

Still “my favorite”

Sneak peak at my son’s birthday invite

Tyree Studio — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 05:18:48 +0000

Birthday parties for kids are a big deal now-a-days. I’m going to sound old and crusty, but when I was a kid we didn’t really need a theme, just cake and presents! For my son’s first birthday party we went with a baseball theme. I’m a hapless Royals fan and doing baseball cupcakes and ballpark food (dogs, burgers, nachos) made the party easy to pull off. I created a rookie baseball card as the invitation, complete with stats and “career-highlights”. It was a fun little project that I thought my wife could tuck away in the baby book, and hey, if Corbin made it pro I could cash the extras in and retire. I was not going to do anything creative like that for his second birthday, but a week before the party great-grandma was asking where her #2 card was. So I made a NASCAR/Disney Pixar Cars themed card to go with our “Cars Movie” theme.

This year the party will be Avengers/Hulk themed, complete with a Incredible Hulk cake. So the design just came naturally, and I had the perfect picture to use.

The front is modeled after the old-school Incredible Hulk comic book covers and the back will mimic the Avengers movie poster complete with Corbin’s “super-powers”/year 3 highlights.

If you or someone you know has a kid birthday or themed party coming up and would like a custom invite or party favor get in touch!

God Bless,

Web Banner Design

Tyree Studio — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 20:00:03 +0000

Just a quick update today. Here’s a project I have been working on for a client here in Wichita. They needed a simple and clean web banner for their email communications. I have over 15 years of web graphics experience so if you need a graphic or image for your website I would love to help.

God Bless,

Ray’s Hotrods

Tyree Studio — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 02:50:48 +0000

Well, it has been another crazy week at “Tyree Studio”. My daughter is a month old already! How did that happen? We are still trying to grab sleep when we can around here, but things are getting better. “Baby-Sister” seems to really be growing attached to mommy and every once in a while she will cuddle with her dad. Big brother is always wanting to help and is very protective of her.

I have been busy with clients as well. Cranked out another caricature this week for a nice lady here in Wichita. Her husband has 3 hot-rods that he is pretty fond of. I could only figure out a way to fit 2 in the caricature (space restrictions), but my client was happy and she passed on my business cards to her friends and family. That’s all you can ask for! If you or someone you know would like a custom caricature, logo, mural, website or other creative project please let me know. I would like to have my own hot rod to bust knuckles on again someday…

I have also been busy searching for another job. I had a really nice meeting today with http://www.360wichita.com/ that seems promising! Keep your fingers crossed for me.

God Bless,
