So I finally launched my own site at http://www.designsbyjoeynelson.com where I'll post original pieces that I design for muscians and DJ's. Mainly from the ATX area with crews like BucklUp Entertainment and Audiomatic. If you like what you see use the links to get in contact with me for your next event.

So I met up with one of my old tagging friends from the Headed 2 Oblivion crew named Sorbic and he was telling me about all the cool apparel design work he had been doing lately for MTV, Miami Ink, LA INK, BET and more. So he sent me some illustrations he had been working on lately and wanted to get them up on my blog. So here's a few samples; they are all copyrighted so don't even think about it toys.  











The Illegal alien concept is the greatest keep up the good work man I love to see other artists on here getting their stuff up and their voices heard. All images copyright Sorbic 2008.

So I've started back up designing fliers for Bucklup Entertainment in Austin, TX. The upcoming show by A Grain of Universe features Hip Hop artist Busdriver with some other DJ's such as DJ Bomber, DJ Aspekt and special guest DJ: The Giant Hornets from Japan. The event is June 14th at Mohawk Austin. Check out the fliers leave me a comment about the designs and see you at the concert.

So we're going to be in Austin, TX in a few weeks for SXSW and I'm hoping to hook up with a friend who's been engineering Crazy Beats since as far back as I can remember. Qousey has been making dance floors bounce since early 1997. In late 1999 he moved to Austin to further pursue his dj career. In 1999, he and a few friends in Austin and Nacogdoches formed Audiomatic Productions, which he mainly use to put on shows to promote themselves and future up and comers. During the time he held residencies at clubs in Austin and Houston such as Spiros Night Club(Austin), Plush(Austin), Pangea(Houston), Club Meneo(Austin), Industry Cafe(Houston) and Karma Lounge(Austin). After establishing himself in Texas he became a weekly guest in many other clubs and events including Electric Daisy Carnival, SXSW(South By South West) and Zen Festival.

After 5 years, he passed Audiomatic Productions onto his partners so he could concentrate on his music and furthering his education in the audio field. In 2004, he left Austin and moved to Orlando, where he enrolled at Full Sail graduating with a Audio Engineering Degree. After he graduated, he moved back to Austin. Now having the technical knowledge behind music production, he has been able to be involved in many projects that involve all aspects of audio including audio post production for film, music production, field recording and mastering.

Check out his tracks on his myspace page:

Maybe he'll be spinning at a event/club(venue) that week!!!
