Bettie Page - The Pinup Queen in Action! Design

Whipped this up for the Sourpuss spring collection in conjunction with Bettie Page licensing. I love the look of those gritty, vintage black & white fliers & advertisements (like so!) which is where the inspiration for this stemmed from. I've been working on my color limitation a lot lately, and designs like this are great exercises in contrast & restraint.

Bonus! Ladies (or gentlemen looking for a gift?) might be interested to know that Sourpuss is giving away a cardigan with this design printed on it. All ya gotta do is submit an entry through Facebook (here) > hit the side tab that says Sourpuss Giveaway --- and it could be yours! 

I believe this contest ends next Friday, February 10th.

Sourpuss x Viva Van Story

If you don't know who Viva Van Story is by now, you've been living under a rock. There's no doubt that you've seen her photographs around in a ton of various magazines & websites (ie Bizarre, Car Kulture Deluxe, Ol' Skool Rodz, etc) and, even if you haven't taken note of her name, you've come away with her images ingrained in your memory. Viva Van Story is one of the leading modern pinup photographers specializing in her own interpretation of retro-raunch with a keen eye for color, composition and fierce attitude. These ain't yo' grandpa's pinups, kids!

Sourpuss Clothing put out a few t-shirts last season revolving around some of Viva's photographs; here are three of those designs that I created:

Sourpuss Pint Glass Art

Sourpuss just released 6 limited run pint glasses that I created artwork for. Each one has large, brightly printed line art (though I'm posting them in their original b/w form) on one side with a drink recipe on the opposite side (my favorite "recipe" being the Angry Jackalope). I love me some printed pint glasses, so this was a fun project for me to take on. Here are a few of my favorites:
