WPA style Planetary Travel posters

I have been wanting to do some WPA style posters for awhile now. I love the idea of traveling to other planets, so I wanted to explore that a little more and see where it takes me. I have 3 of the posters done so far, and while it isn’t exactly what the planets look like on their surfaces, that is the fun part.
They are available on my Etsy shop. etsy.com/shop/Opafaf
Enjoy!

My Retro prints were on "The Following" on Fox

Last night, on Fox's new show "The Following", some of my art was used on set.
Here is a screen shot of it:

It's a bad photo, but there it is!
Last year, I was contacted by a production manager for the show and was asked if they could use my art on the show. I agreed. They were supposed to tweet about it when it aired, but I don't think they did.
Hopefully it will be a regular set on the show. Hopefully. Here is a link to the actual prints in my shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/121998863/10-pack-large-retro-art-prints-11x14

Seamless Pattern Totorial

I have created an Illustrator tutorial on how to create seamless patterns in Adobe Illustrator over on my personal website blog: http://sabordesigns.com/blog/
Check it out!

Updated my website

I have finally updated my website. I have made it so I host my own blog now using Wordpress. You can check out the site here: www.sabordesigns.com. Any post I make there, I will duplicate over on this blog as well, just to keep consistency. I like using Wordpress on my personal site, it lets me be more creative while not worrying so much about the back end of web design.
I am working on a couple web sites right now, and I will post them when they are live.

here is a screen shot of my updated site.
