Tell Me What You Think

This is a site I've been working on here and there for the last few weeks. The point of it all besides the over all design is that the store manager will be able to update most pages through Tumblr. It's all pretty simple in it's design and function but, let me know what you think.

Another Newbie for Knoxville

Knoxville will soon have a brand new fixture in it's downtown/old city area, a grocery store. I haven't lived in Knoxville in quite a while, but I do keep strong ties there and visit often. A friend and colleague is enter into yet another new endeavor as a grocer. All of the details have yet to be ironed out, but it is setting up to be a cool spot, sort of a Fresh Market meets Long Branch. I'll let you draw your on conclusions until you get to see for yourself.

I've been working with ownership, developing the identity and branding. Here's a preview, enjoy.

Here They Come...

Over a short but much needed out of towner, I ran into an old friend. After a brief catching up over a drink, we started talking business. It turns out he and his wife are in the process of opening a bike shop. Not just a bike shop, a real, brick and mortar, BMX shop for the real heads(he's a long time BMX staple in the industry, even through the down years). For those that know, a true BMX shop is pretty hard to come by. Most are watered down, buy your complete bike here type shops catering to families or at least selling a wide spectrum of bikes. From his description of there plans it will be much like a skate shop in that you can buy everything by the piece giving you the freedom to do what you want. I grew up skateboarding and I always figured that bike shops were much like skate shops, that i until a few years ago when I started riding. No, I'm not a BMX convert, I ride a road bike, particularly a rode bike I built from scratch and have since built s few more, it's sort of addictive. When I started, I had no idea about what a pain it would be(I refer you back to the previous statements). So when he told me about their plans, I knew I had to get on board. I don't live in the area anymore so I can't physically lend a hand, so I offered the next best thing that I could think of, art. So I asked if he'd let me do the identity work and maybe so other art for shop promotions. He was pretty stoked at the offer and here we are. (above is the logo and below is the art for the first t-shirt)

Best of luck you guys and please, let me know if I can help out in any other way.

Finished Work

I've wrapped up another book project. This one is for Thomas Nelson Publishing in Nashville, TN. Above is the cover art and packaging for the audio book, box set for the new Chris Seay release, "The Gospel According to Lost". Chris uses the popularity of pop culture hits as the basis of gathering correlations between scripture and these popular productions.

One More Thing

I've launched the new site and couldn't be happier, at least for now. Like I mentioned a couple of posts ago, it's quite different from my last site. Let me know what you think, visit mborum.com you can also still visit my old site if you prefer the look of it at meborum.com. I'll be updating both with new work when projects are finalized.
