After seeing a lot of his work on signs and windows of businesses around town, I knew Dane was the man for my T-shirt design, so I asked around and got his contact info.
I have a musical act, a little modern and a little classic, with no real obvious symbology or visual go-to, and I wanted a striking T-shirt that did with an image what I do with sound.
I contacted Dane and found him easy to work with, genuinely eager to be part of a creation, and very inspiring.
I asked for a design that I could emulsify on to a silk screen and then print T-shirts from. Dane was experienced and knowledgeable with myriad media and instantly understood just what I needed.
We talked back and forth about styles and fonts and such which was a fun process because of his amicable nature and deep love of creativity.
He made a couple mock-ups, which we discussed and critiqued, and then he would go back to work.
The end result is bad to the bone. I love it. I know that I wasn't easy to work with because I have a hard time describing art in words, but Dane found my pulse, if you will, and made a better image than I could've dreamed.
He gave me a disc with the files and an original. The price was very reasonable and I was happy to pay it, in part because he communicated his progress with me so I saw the work he put into it. This was the first work of art I have ever commissioned and I feel that I was given a great value.
I am so happy that I found Brown's Custom Signs and met Dane Brown. read more
