Downloads Overview
Okay, my tiny parakeets, let me set this shit straight. First off, this section is crammed with tasty visual treasures that you can use in your projects, art, or whatever. It's largely the sum collective of my personal design resources not including all the cool shit I've scanned over the years (though, bandwidth providing, I'll get those up as well). There's also some experiments, half realized ideas, stickers, and wallpapers on which to feast your eyes. Additionally, some of these projects contain dingbats that I didn't create. Use these at your own risk. Almost all the dingbats I used were free where but some may not be, so exercise caution. Also, you can download all of the downloads in one file if you want. But hark, and listen to the words I now speak, for I preach a mindful vision, one pregnant with poise and intent.
It is my firm belief that when information is shared, everybody wins. In the design world, people often tend to practice the opposite. People hoard their design tricks and secrets like a dragon hoards treasure, often getting indignant when someone else copies his or her 'style' or 'look.' I call bullshit on that. Humanity learns through imitation and repetition. We all have built in systems that allow us to imitate others at an early age, and this paves the way for language development which in turn leads to everything else. A note on permissions
These images are the intellectual property of Issara Willenskomer. You have his permission to use his images when all the following conditions are met:

      1. If you use his artwork in any way, some credit must be given to him in whatever format the artist deems appropriate; and

      2. The image must be manipulated and combined in some way with another image or images so as to render it unrecognizable in its new state; and

      3. The image cannot be presented in its original version, or only a slightly manipulated version, wherein another artist can take credit for the image.

In short, learn from these files, don't just use them for your project and put your name on it. Failure to meet the above three criteria will make you a laughingstock of the design/artist world, and could expose you to a civil lawsuit for copyright infringement depending on the degree you piss me off.

 

Enjoy with relish!

'Design' and 'art' are never conceived in a vacuum. Like revolutionary movements, the people that become figureheads are only those who know how to harness an already existing momentum. Other people lay the groundwork and only a select few get the credit. As such, when it comes to 'design' I believe that if we can help each other, we should. That's why I'm putting a shitload of my personal design resources on the internet for free for anybody to download. Yes, I could sell them to a stock company for money.
But I'd rather give back to the design community which has inspired me, not take more. It is my hope that others will be likewise inspired to open up their resources and share their sketches and partially realized ideas. Many already have. I hope that we can stop worrying about who's ripping off who, and concentrate our energies on enriching our own lives and the lives around us.

100 Photo Light Blur Overlays
I use these tasty overlays all the time. In case you're wondering, they're totally hecka sweet long exposure photos I shot at night. They vary in resolution from 2560x1920 to 640x480. They're super handy for boards, print, or web pieces, and I've used them extensively for tons of different projects, like the Cablevision boards.

I've edited my group of over 300 down to the most juicy and tasty 100 photos. To use these in a quick and dirty way, just bring them into Photoshop or Illustrator, and put them in 'screen' mode or 'lighten' or whatever feels appropriate. I like 'screen' personally. That will drop the black out so you're left with a tasty glow over your background image that you can do all kinds of neat things to.

Tasty Layered Photoshop Documents
These four montages represent a shitload of layers. The vintage ones have at least a hundred and fifty detail layers each, and while the Fankick montages have fewer, there is still a rich abundance of tastiness for even the most jaded. All in all, there's a ton of stuff in these four pieces and you'll be able to mix and match to your heart's content. A little warning, I scanned all the items in the vintage montages from old things that I bought, so don't do stupid shit and say that you created them. These are collages using source material that is not 100% original. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. Download one at a time below or all four at once here (86MB).

Vector Design Resources
It seems that I spend a lot of time sourcing various elements. When I started designing, I was creating tons of 'detail' pages, which were just Illustrator pages with tons of custom elements. Then I moved on to vector textures, and most recently I've wrapped up a bunch of vector drips. I find these elements to be extremely useful for a variety of purposes, and I hope you enjoy them as I have and will enjoy them: with relish!

Vector drips: these 25 custom Illustrator files contain all kinds of drips, spray paint, and inky situations. There's a pretty wide range of stuff here and they're awesome for all kinds of shit.

Vector Studies: it's been a pastime of mine for a while now, just delving in and messing around with color, gradients, and blending modes in Illustrator. I've taken 13 of these manipulations and put them up for download.

Hella Goddamn Design Elements: this is the real meat and potatoes of this whole download section, in my opinion. What I've done is take just about every single one of my detail pages and created 10 Illustrator pages crammed with elements. There's a wide range of cool shit here and there's a lot of it. I highly recommend downloading these and just exploring. Enjoy!

Full Archetype Grid Alphabet With Tutorial: Yo, straight up, this is some serious goodness. I've created a sick vector wireframe grid alphabet based on Bauer Bodoni, using some dope grid brushes. I've even included a tutorial file so you can make this shit yourself. The alphabet is 82 letters, numbers, and some symbols.

There's a ton of stuff in this download, and I don't think you'll be disappointed. I've been noticing a lot of new print and motion graphics pieces that uses elements like these so if you use these, you'll impress your friends and instill in your enemies an uncontrollable sense of dread that alcohol will be unable to diminish.

Project Source Files
This section contains source Illustrator vector files from past projects. Feel free to download these and fuck with them, just don't forget the rules found at the top of the page. If I see an unaltered version of one of these projects popping up without my name I'm gonna get pissed.

Gaycity Action Booklet Cover: This tasty design is hecka sweet 100% vector deliciousness. Does it boggle the mind? Instill fear and dread? Well it should! Sheeeet, just kidding.

Makegeddon Poster: This was one of my first ever projects and you know what? It's still tight! Tons of elements and all kinds of shit to play around with here. I basically took this old ass clip art thing of a camera and tore it to pieces and used that as my main graphic. You'll see what I mean.

Performa Pasta: Shit, you know what, I just realized that this one has an embedded image, too. That's the second one. Damn. I tried to keep these all pure vector but somehow some extra stuff snuck in there. Bummer deal, I say. Oh well. This was an old student project I did that turned out pretty neat. At least I think it did.

Ye Olde Resume: Yep, this was my old resume that I'd give to places. It was printed on vellum and was super hella tight. On an unrelated subject, I really tried to create unique grids for each section, but I'm kinda slacking off at this point. Have you noticed that? The trouble is that I really want to get this goddamn site launched and there's still a ton of shit to do.

Mannschaft: This was a poster project I made for my friend Megan, who was putting together a summer soccer team. The girl in the poster was my roommate Krista. Doesn't she look happy? On a more personal note, Megan and I went out a few times, but nothing ever really clicked. She was a nice girl but she had a short attention span, something that I don't really like. I need a girl who can focus. She had a wicked hot body, though, and was plenty cute. Some things are more important, I guess.

Designed To Help: These nine vector illustrations were made for the Designed To Help project which was a design book where the proceeds would be donated to the Tsunami victims. I submitted work and was lucky enough to be accepted.
