Glitschka Studios has coordinated with Neenah Paper and has pulled together a group of talented artists to create a limited edition set of posters for the HOW Design Conference in Boston.

The design talent involved in this project are Aaron Draplin, Justin Ahrens, Kody Chamberlain, and Mikey Burton. Each of us will be signing and giving away our posters through the Neenah Paper booth.

Each of us selected an uncoated paper stock for our design, and were given free reign to create what ever we wanted. (Thank you Neenah Paper) All the posters will be custom screen printed by The Half and Half.

Glitschka Studios has created other super doodles before utilizing the same hand drawn style. We titled our newest super doodle “Really Weird.”

More insight regarding my creative process on this poster design, and a list of signing times for each artist at the conference can be found via my blog. This artwork is available for licensing.

One of the new features in CS6 Illustrator is a pattern tool that make creating repeat patterns a whole lot easier. To help market the new feature, Adobe hired Glitschka Studios to develop a new diverse set of custom pattern designs they could ship with the CS6 Creative Suite.

Each of the stock patterns we created are fully customizable by the end user. They can tweak colors, adjust sizing or orientation and blend mode settings to make them useful for their own projects.

So when you get around to updating your version of Adobe Illustrator make sure to check out the new stock patterns we created.

At Glitschka Studios we like encouraging and equipping creativity in all it’s various forms. So when Columbus Creative asked us to design their event poster for their latest conference we gladly accepted.

Since Columbus Creative is all about facillating creativity we decided to play off that by developing a visual and information definition of a creative monster. Being a creative person is fun, unique, and sometimes a little bit scary or strange too. (At least in the eyes of non-designers) We specifically designed the poster to be timeless so they could reuse it at later dates if they wanted too.

So release your inner beast and let your creative creature roam freely.

Project: Editorial Illustration
Client: Oil and Gas Investor Magazine
Art Director: Marc Conly

The focus on this publications article was all about the continued need for oil in the future regardless of newer forms of clean energy being researched and developed now. The existing modes of commerce and transportation will continue to require oil, but the goal is to reduce the amount of oil needed while still sustaining the global marketplace and the US economy.

We kept the style of this illustration simple even though the subject matter covered a diverse range of industries that needed oil in the future. To accurately reflect the article we decided to create a pattern of iconic images that would represent key distinguishers in the article all being reflected inside a single drop of oil.

Liberty Mutual magazine was publishing an article on driver safety called “Car Smarts” and needed eight spot illustrations in a continuos line style.

The style chosen for this project added far more interest to seemingly mundane automobile features and functionality. The end result is a far more compelling layout for the reader.

Linear Spots: Drifting Out of Lane, Seat Belts, Curve Control, Spotting Problems


Linear Spots: Airbag Testing, Under-Body Air Bag, Car Communication, Heart Monitor Steering Wheel

The action sports industry is always a fun genre to design for. So when xFactor BMX contacted us to design a set of graphics for a new line called “inxanity” they were creating we gladly accepted the job.

The client requested that we create a design that utilized a crazy skull, wings and flames. These are always fun themes to work with and since this product is centric for kids you can get a bit more crazy than your normal corporate design gig.

We’d love to do some creative skullduggery on your next project.

Client: Tony Prospect
Art Director: Von Glitschka

Over the years Glitschka Studios has created custom tribal styled designs for a variety of individual clients, and larger corporate businesses and brands.

On this specific design the client wanted a tribal face motif and wanted the face to be smiling and overall have it feel sinister in terms of the emotion it projected.

We provided the final art in black and white, along with the two color options shown.

We thrive at collaborating with firms and exploring the design possibilities on challenging projects. Landor Associates hired Glitschka Studios to explore a brand character idea for a potential new product line.

Developing exploratory work like this means you never know if the work will ever being used. Sometimes the concepts we provide deliver on the firms guided direction, but in the end only prove that moving in that direction isn’t where the project should go. The creative process is long and takes many turns along the way but the end result helps to guide the project towards an appropriate solution.

We deliver art that makes our clients look good in the eyes of their clients. We want to help the people we work with expand their design potential and make the whole process easier for them to deliver on.
