Creative Disorder

MAKE IT YOURS. 😎

That’s really what custom graphics are all about.

Maybe you already have the whole idea pictured in your head. Maybe you’ve got a theme, a color, a name or just the beginning of an idea and need some help figuring out the rest.

Either way, that’s where I come in.

This Jeep started with a vision and became a completely custom look built around its owner — from the orange and black octopus artwork down the sides to the Chaos Monster Mojave graphics on the hood.

Your vehicle doesn’t have to look like everybody else’s.

Bring me your vision. Let’s turn it into something that’s yours. 🤘

A LITTLE CREATIVE TEAMWORK. 🤝🔥

This one was definitely not short on personality.

I teamed up with Paradox Printing and Sign Co. on the Crab Island Cuties mobile boutique, handling the design work while the crew at Paradox took care of bringing it to life.

Bright colors, big graphics and absolutely ZERO chance of blending into traffic. 😂

I really enjoy getting the opportunity to work with other shops behind the scenes. It lets me take on completely different styles and projects while doing what I enjoy most — creating.

Big thanks to Paradox Printing and Sign Co. for trusting Creative Disorder with the design side of this one. 🤝

I’d say Crab Island Cuties is officially ready to be noticed. 👀

Quiet on social, busy in the shop. 🔧

Not every productive day ends with a finished wrap or a fresh shirt to show off. Sometimes it’s placing customer orders, improving the workspace, and handling the little things so the next project runs smoother.

Today included finally getting the garage door opener installed! Building Creative Disorder means wearing a lot of hats—today’s apparently came with a ladder. 😂

The shop is coming together a little more each day. Appreciate everyone supporting me while I keep building this thing!

A little less chaos… still plenty of Disorder. 🤘

IT USUALLY STARTS WITH… “SO I HAVE THIS IDEA.” 👀

And honestly, those are some of my favorite conversations.
Sometimes it’s a full vehicle wrap. Sometimes it’s a logo, a shirt, a sign or something completely out of left field.
You bring me the idea — even if it’s still a little half-baked — and we figure out how to turn it into something real.
The weird ideas are usually the fun ones anyway. 😂
So heading into the weekend, I’m curious…
What’s an idea you’ve had that you’ve never gotten around to making happen? 👇

OCTOBER 1ST… AND APPARENTLY THE PROJECTS GOT THE MEMO. 💀😂

Didn’t exactly plan on kicking off October with skulls, black vinyl and a knife on the table… but here we are.

I’ve got a few pretty interesting projects moving through Creative Disorder right now, and this one is definitely starting the month off with the right attitude. 😎

Not giving away the whole thing just yet…

but October is already looking pretty damn good. 👀

IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS. 👀

Working on cleaning up a logo today so it can be used across multiple formats and applications.

From a distance, artwork can look perfectly fine. Zoom in and you start finding the little things — rough edges, uneven curves, inconsistent lines and details that just don’t reproduce cleanly.

Those flaws become a lot more noticeable when that same logo needs to work on everything from a business card or shirt to a sign or vehicle wrap.

So sometimes the job isn’t creating something new.

It’s taking what’s already there, fixing the flaws and making sure it works everywhere it needs to.

The little details may not always be obvious…

until they’re wrong. 😂

A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING TODAY. 😎

This pretty much sums up a normal day at Creative Disorder.

Three screens. Three completely different projects. Three completely different directions. 😂

That’s one of the things I enjoy most about custom design work — no two days really look the same.

One minute I’m working on vehicle graphics, the next I’m building artwork, recreating a logo, or chasing an idea that started with “What if we tried this…?”

Different projects. Different styles. Different challenges.

It keeps the creativity moving and keeps me from ever getting too comfortable doing the same thing over and over.

Let’s see what else gets added to the mix this week. 😎

FRIDAY… WE MADE IT TO THE FINISH LINE. 🏁

Couldn’t think of a more appropriate shirt to wrap up the week with. 😂

Custom We**ie McQueenie Pit Crew shirts coming together and ready for their crew.

Now it’s time to wave the checkered flag on another week, make a pit stop, and enjoy the weekend.

Hope everybody gets a chance to slow down, recharge and have a little fun.

What’s everybody getting into this weekend? 👇

DESIGN THOUGHTS THURSDAY 🤔

One thing doing both design and production has taught me…

Just because you CAN design it doesn’t always mean you SHOULD.

When you’re the one who eventually has to print, cut, w**d, press, laminate or install what you created, you start looking at designs a little differently. 😂

Tiny details. Crazy gradients. Super-fine lines. Colors. Resolution. How something scales. What material it’s going on.

A design can look incredible on a 27” monitor and still be a nightmare—or just flat-out not work—when it’s time to actually make it.

I think being involved in production has made me a better designer because I’m not only thinking about how it looks.

I’m thinking about how it becomes real.

Designers and makers—has actually producing your own work changed the way you design? 👇
