A logo for the J.T.P.

My friend, John, reached out to me and asked if I’d be interested in drawing him a logo for his band, J.T.P. As luck would have it they were all in town and planned on having a series of rehersals in John’s living room.

“Mind if I stop by to listen and get some ideas?”, I asked him.

He agreed.

John had been sending me J.T.P.’s recordings for a while and I liked their covers.  He told me that they have been playing together since attending college at The University of Georgia in the 90’s. 

Now spread out across the United States, they rely heavly on Apple’s GarageBand, a music editing application, to “knit” together their various tracks ( guitar, bass, vocals, etc… )

At their rehearsal I listened, sketched, and took some pictures.

If you’d like to listen to some of the J.T.P.’s music, you can find it on YouTube at @JohnnyHitsTheGroove.

Lastly, here are some of my quick sketches. All hand drawn on a 5×7 notepad with a mechanical pencil. 

For the end product I went with vector graphics using Inkscape, prefering a format would be sharp, crisp, and could be easily resized.  Vector graphics take me longer to produce, but they have a certain durability and reusability that I prefer over hand drawn stuff.

Take care. 
Stay healthy. 
Live life.
