One of my favorite clients, Family Force 5 asked me to create a design for their upcoming UK tour w/ Cobra Starship. This Lion perched on the UK flag will not only be used for a shirt design, but also on their myspace site for promo purposes. I am pretty happy w/ how the gold font turned out!

I posted this tee on emptees.com to see what other’s thought of the design. You can check it out here.

Also, I did two new designs for Ferret Music not to long ago. One is a purple demon and the other is skulls and green worms. Both are now for sale at the Ferret site. Pretty inexpensive too. Both are located here.

Here’s one of the three new designs I did for the band We Came As Romans. It’s the letters WCAR written and suspended by goo inside a rib cage. I’ve attached mock ups of the tee on the image so you can see what I was trying to go for.

Other than that, I’m super busy! Working on projects for The In Crowd, Of Mice and Men, Sleeping w/ Sirens, an album design for the band Kids in the Making, and a top secret project!

Happy new year everyone! I hope you had a good holiday. I’m excited to get back on track and start drawing again. There’s alot of good things I’m working on early this year.

One of them is this design here I did for Skate 4 Cancer. An organization that raises money to fight cancer all over the globe. The kangaroo design here will be sold in Australia to raise money to fight the disease. Pretty stoked on that.

Have you added me on twitter yet? @mattgondek

Wonderful Life is almost finished and about to launch! In case you haven’t been following, Wonderful Life is a clothing brand that Brian Nagan from the band Four Letter Lie and I are starting.

The launch will have six different shirt designs. The tee pictured here is one of them. Four of them were designed by me, and we have two from other designers. The site is being created by Phil M from sons of Nero, who are known for their super legit design work. It’s all coming together nicely and we hope to launch soon!

Here’s the first design I ever did for Jonny Craig. He’s the frontman to the band Emarosa and previously Dance Gavin Dance, but recently did a solo album.

Also, I wanted to say thanks to Mrs. Trimble’s class at Bellevue Elementary and Mr. Hoover’s class at my old high school for having me come in to talk about drawing monsters. It was fun discussing what I do and answering all the questions everyone had. Hope I can come back sometime.

I tried something new. Most of my stuff is happier and nice so I wanted to do something gross. Here it is. Haha, it’s for the band Arsonists Get All the Girls. Let me know what you think!

I was approached to create a new design for the band Alesana. Recently, a client suggested I make a tee w/ a big gummi bear eating kids. I thought it was a good idea, so I made it. And well here it is.

I just posted the tee up on emptees.com if you’d like to go there and check it out. (Maybe give it some love). Click here to check it out.

Also, the company Party Smartie just mailed me a care package w/ a shirt that I made them, another shirt and a trading card in it.I love when clients send this kind of stuff. Check them out. They have some good stuff for sale.

Brian for Four Letter Lie and I are still working on locking down all the components for our clothing brand. We found someone to create the myspace layout. We are currently getting in contact w/ them. We are stoked to get this off the ground and can’t wait for everyone to see what we are coming up with.

Right now I’m working on some designs for Skate4Cancer, Family Force 5, and Johnny Craig. I’ll probably post them on here as I get them done.

A very good client of mine asked me to do a design recently for his own band, I the Unlord. He asked for a one color design revolving around the planet of the Apes movies. I came up w/ this idea and went for it.

Just in time for Christmas, Ivoryline hired me to do them a nice Santa Claus design. You can buy it here!

Fueled by Ramen hired me to do a new design for Cobra Starship based off an upcoming video for the song Hot Mess. This is I created. Hope you like it!
