Film Poster Designs!

About 2 and a half years ago I wrote a blog about what I considered the ultimate design gig. It described my quest to find work designing posters for film and how I had just had my first success with that... an independent zombie flick called "Zombie Ed."

Unfortunately, that poster didn't open the design doors that I had hoped it would (nothing against the director, Ren. She did all she could to help me).

BUT! I didn't give up. I kept knocking on doors, submitting my work and taking rejection after rejection until finally.....FINALLY.. someone gave me a shot.

Out in California, Magic Elevator Films took a chance on an unknown four-eyed designer and gave me an assignment, and we've had a great working relationship ever since!

Shown above are three of the five posters I've had the opportunity to do for them, and my contact says more are on the way! Many, many thanks to Berenika and Jeff. I appreciate you both so much.


Yes, thanks to them, and my new storefront (and the in-progress reworking of the B'hold Designs Website) I can say that 2014 is looking pretty okie dokie for B'hold Deigns, and I am very thankful.

Now, don't get me wrong... there is always room for improvement.... especially with my storefront. Unfortunately, Redbubble doesn't get as much traffic as cafepress (from what I understand), so I've had a difficult time getting it off the ground, but that's ok! I'll just keep knocking and knocking on people's doors... at all hours of the night if necessary... until all have heard of and/or purchased their own B'hold Designs Ultimate Camouflage... NOW also available as a PHONE CASE and an IPAD CASE!

There's a lot going on right now, but please, please remember that our first priority at B'HQ is lunch. BUT, immediately after that, however, we're watching the horizon for the undead and keeping you, and the rest of the world safe should granny come marching home again.

Aim high. Run fast.

Poster Art for the Return of The Walking Dead!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I sincerely hope that this year is brighter, happier and filled with more joy than you could ever imagine. And what better way to experience that then by watching a group of people suffer in misery?

That's right, I'm talking about AMC's "The Walking Dead", which is due to return February 9th! The official poster art has been released and it looks like poor Rick and Carl are on their own, at least for a while. But it's not just them! If you remember, most everyone is scattered after the attack by the Governor 2.0.

I'm predicting that Tyreese (with the young girls that saved his life) will find, or be found by Carol. Not knowing that she's the one that killed his girlfriend (in the interest of stopping a flu epidemic), he will grow very close to her, and eventually when he does find out, he won't be able to decide whether to forgive her, or put a shovel upside her head.

Hang in there zombie fans. Only one more month to go! Check out the trailer for the second half of season four below.



And don't forget to stop by the BRAND SPANKING NEW B'hold Designs Storefront, where the merchandise is mildly amusing and greatly disgusting.

Phone Cases Now Available!

I am so excited about my new storefront! It's clean and quick and easy to use, and NOW... after so long trying, I have phone cases!!

There are five designs currently (shown above, click the picture to enlarge), with more on the way in the coming weeks (and they're not all for Apple). OH, and I'll have ipad cases soon as well. A couple are based on existing shirt designs and a couple aren't.....and one of those is just plain gross, but I couldn't resist.

So click HERE to check out the store front with my new phone designs, and all the other gear you need to not only survive the zombie apocalypse, but do so in style.

Now, quit surfing the net and get back to AMC's "The Walking Dead" marathon!

Aim high. Run fast.

New Storefront!

Those of you that have been reading my ramblings for a while are aware that I have a storefront where you can find all kinds of ridiculous zombie-related (and some non-zombie) clothing and merchandise. That is still the case, with a few little changes and one very big change.

Cafepress is no longer my storefront host. I won't go into detail here, but suffice to say that I didn't agree with their new and "exciting" terms and conditions.

HOWEVER... I did some research and found a site that does the same thing and has received wonderful reviews from customers and shopkeepers alike for its fairness and general awesomeness.

I present to you the union between B'hold Designs and Redbubble.com!

I spent a great deal of time yesterday updating and uploading designs to the new storefront and I am very happy to say that the process thru their site was much quicker and easier than with the previous.

The one thing about Redbubble I wish was different is that they don't offer much of the merchandise Cafepress does (mugs, etc.), but they do have ipad and phone cases, so I'll finally be able to get into that market!

So, didn't get that gift you wanted for Christmas?? Then come on by the NEW B'hold Designs storefront! I've put out fresh candy and installed new whoopie cushion seats on all the toilets!

Get the gear, by clicking HERE!!!
And remember....We put the awesome in "holy crap, that's awesome!"

Aim high. Run fast.

Holy Crap, What Day Is It??

Well it's been 24 days since I last updated the blog, and all I can say about that is... oops. To my loyal readers (all three of you), I apologize, but please know that the soldiers of B'HQ have never once stopped watching the perimeter for the undead... well, ok one time, but that was only because I made rice krispy treats and.. nevermind.

Here are my excuses. I have a full time design job in the day that was keeping me pretty busy all the way up until the Christmas break, AND I also freelance design at night. In an effort to make sure I was able to meet my break time goals (lay on the couch and collect dust), I busted my behind to get everything taken care of each night.

HOWEVER... things are percolating here at B'HQ and there's a big change on the way in the next few days. It's mostly behind the scenes stuff, but you'll see a difference, too. More on that later.

In the mean time, here's a new art piece fresh from my noggin for you to glance at, shrug and mutter "whatever" under your breath!

While we're waiting for the rest of season four of AMC's "The Walking Dead" to begin, I've been thinking back on the character of Hershel. As the resident Obi Wan, his character evolved nicely from grouchy old farmer in season two, to full-on voice-of-reason this season... kind of a Dale 2.0.

So I figured, what better way to honor him than to illustrate his severed head on the end of a sword? And thusly, I present to you, "Hershel's Head." Gaze upon it, fear for my sanity and enjoy. :)

Only One - John Butler Trio

I've never heard of the Austrailian rock group, the John Butler Trio, but I can tell from this video of their single "Only One" that they're people after my own heart... or brains, perhaps.

Check it out below, or read more about them at this link.

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

Warning: Spoiler's Ahead!

HOLY CRAP what an episode! Last night's midseason finale was an incredible non-stop roller coaster of action and emotions!

Almost immediately, the prison was confronted with the threat of Governor 2.0, along with his new pals and a freakin' tank!

After taking Herschel and Michonne prisoner, the Governor tries to take over the prison "peacefully", but he proves that he is a character that cannot change... he cannot be the kind of man he would need to be to co-exist, and he proved his point by taking Herschel's head, using Michonne's sword!

Then all hell breaks loose...and the Governor is KILLED!! Seriously, there is SO much to talk about that I can't run it all down.... if you haven't seen the episode, PLEASE stop what you're doing and watch it (I'm sure your boss won't mind), and don't forget to tune back in February 9th!!

Check out the lowdown from those involved:
