...so im not sure if im supposed to be posting this until its done, but i highly doubt the people involved are reading this blog anyway.

These fellas below call themselves the Clipse, maybe youve heard of them. They make rap music. Anyway, last year they had their logo made into a couple of iced out pendants by the good folks at IceeFresh Jewelry, in LA.


This is the original.



This is the final piece.



Now, i did not design that logo. But i do work here and there for Ben Baller from IceeFresh. Always real quick, small jobs to help mock up the design of a piece of jewelry to be. So a client of his wants his own Clipse piece, but wants it to have his own name in there, MILLZ.

So i had to re-create the lettering to make it fit and look like it was designed to be there in the first place. This was all done by hand since the Clipse piece isnt a font (that i know of. and if it was i kinda wasted my time, but i still would have had to alter the typeface to fit into the shield anyway...) Anyway, it was a rush job, but i think it came out good enough for government work. And if something IS off, im sure they'll fix it before they make the mold and create the gold piece.

So heres the artwork. (that was a long explanation, for such a simple job)


Ill post pics of it when it gets completed. Assuming the client follows through and doesnt bail.

    good job, as a lettering snob to the tenth degree I can say you did a great job. The original artist should be punched in the mouth for those letters but you did a great job on the Millz joint.
