New Gates Shirts

Check out the latest shirts I designed for gates! These are a 2 color, water based screen print on American Apparel. These will be on sale overseas for gates' upcoming UK tour.



They will also be bringing these shirts! This one was designed by my multi-talented brother, who also sings and plays guitar in the band. Not to mention the fact that he recorded and produced their last album, and their upcoming album! Pretty cool.

Stay tuned for the poster I designed for their show in Glasgow!

Redesign!

As you may have noticed, I have done a little redesign to my site! I simplified things a bit, and re-named the site. Since all of my work isn't comics related, I went with a more broad title. You can now reach my website by visiting www.mattdyedraws.com (mattdyecomics.blogspot.com will still work too!).

You also may have noticed that my little web-store has disappeared. I will be redesigning that soon and it will return with more items than ever! Which means it will have more than ONE item!! Woo!

I hope you like the new site! More soon!

Dinosaurs!

Just a couple prints I've been working on. Both using the same 5 ink colors on White paper. The Triceratops have been printed but the Raptors don't exist yet. Hopefully soon! Eventually I will be making some little sketchbooks, using these as the covers.

More soon! Goodnight!

Beards n' Stuff

Last spring I created a storyboard for the senior 3D animation class at MSU. It was a story about a beardly man who has to shave his beard to look presentable at a job interview. (If you don't know what I'm talking about you can view the storyboard in an earlier post on this blog!) Well that animation has since been finished and I think it turned out great! My only gripe is that I wasn't credited for the story :/ Oh well! Check it out here:

Gates Tees

It dawned on me while I was working on the new Gates shirt that I never posted the last one I designed! So here it is!

I snagged these nice photos from their website (http://gatesnj.com). They also include some of the sweet split fountain postcards I had printed for them as a bonus at work.

Check it out! I'll have a new shirt design to post in a couple weeks!

Leopold's!

Nathan and the Land of Robots and The Messenger are now available at Leopold's Books in Detroit! If you haven't been to Leopold's before you should definitely check it out. Its a sweet little book shop with a nice selection of interesting books. Plus Greg and Sarah, the owners, are really awesome people. I like that the shop is not too overwhelming so its easy to stumble on a little gem that you'll want to read. Like this book I picked up there earlier today!


I immediately recognized the art from the "Igloo Head and Tree Head" comics I enjoyed so thoroughly when I read them in the Flight Anthology. This guy's illustration style is so fun and his sense of humor is spot on. Check him out, if you haven't already!

Table w/ Jeremy Wilson

Hello!

I recently attended the Saginaw Art Market and I once again got to share a table with Jeremy Wilson. Needless to say I had a great time and I thought I would share a picture of the amazing table Jeremy built to showcase his Block Bots. Its pretty eye-catching and he even made some little shelves to hold my comic books. Sweet!

I just got myself one of those rad little Santa Bots to help decorate the apartment for the holidays. I recommend you do the same! ;)
