Refresh your soul

With Bog Witch Brew

Here is my piece from the @lightgreyartlab #worldroulette show! I wanted to do something akin to joke you might see in Futurama. So I made a moonshine label for a Bog Witch made beverage. I hope you enjoy! 🧙🏾🍄🐾🌖🌓🥃 #bogwitch #moonshine #art #design

World Roulette includes 150 worlds by 150 creatives from around the globe! We could not be more proud of the great artwork, storytelling, imaginative lands, tales, mythology, and worldbuilding involved in this project 💛✨ We’ll be sharing more details and sneak peeks closer to the show, but for now, please save the date! This is a massive creative endeavor and takes lots of editing, organizing, fundraising, designing, and assembling to make it possible.

Team Zissou Adidas Ponyfish! Now that she's received it, it's no longer a spoiler. @iamthem00n @artofthem00n and I did an Art Swap. Which, I suggest people do more often! Pretty sure we friended each other online because of #thelifeaquatic so it was pretty clear that would be my art theme. I ended up painting a mashup of the Crayon Ponyfish and the Zissou branded Adidas. I'm really happy with how the metallic paint worked out.

Wow! I totally forgot to post this a loooong time ago!

Here’s my final design for Light Grey Art Lab SWARM show. leucistic corvus corax (white raven). It’s not actually an albino raven. They just have no pigment in their feathers. They’re very rare. Printed on metallic gold stock. Inspired by tarot cards. Enjoy.

Here is a branding set that I designed for Beaver Island Brewing Company, not too long ago, for work. It’s actually a really great microbrewery, with really tasty beers, from my home town (St. Cloud, MN). Of course they opened an awesome brewery after I left town but I won’t hold it against them. I had a blast working on it. Especially knowing how tasty their beers were.

Business Cards, Gift Cards, Custom Growler Shaped Promo Cards, Tasting Menus, Tour Passes + Beer Samples, Rewards Card + Program Flyer, and Coasters.

Enjoy.

New year, new design!

Mario Brothers inspired Piranha Plant Faux Pocket Shirt, Phone Cases, and Mugs!

I wanted to get actual pocket shirts, but I couldn’t find an online store that would print them on demand. You had to bulk order them. Maybe if there’s enough demand, I’ll get some physical pocket shirts printed. For now, faux pockets!

You can find the shirts, cases, mugs, and the rest of my work here: https://society6.com/tomwiener

Stay nerdy and enjoy!

I’ve been having a blast making gifs recently. I’ve also become totally obsessed with Futurama again. So, I made a Planet Express gif!

Enjoy.

I've been playing around with gifs lately. I love how this turned out, so I'm sharing it. I will probably make more! The Ice Planet.

I also animated my Mother is Watching design.

Mother Is Watching.

Here is the piece I did for Light Grey Art Lab’s #BOSSRUSH show. The show is to celebrate the bad guys of video games. Honestly, the bad guys are pretty awesome.

As a kid, when Super Metroid came out, I remember thinking, “Wait, what the Hell is that thing?!” when I saw Mother Brain for the first time. She was such a unique idea for a character.

I had a blast working on this project. I ended up doing it over a few times. I wanted to play around with halftones for this piece. I finished it the first time. Did a test print. Hated how it printed. So, In the end I had to rebuild and reconstruct everything from Illustrator to Photoshop about 4 or 5 times. I am happy with the results.

You can check out the rest of the artwork here!

Realms of Middle America - Minnesota Shirts!

Tolkien Middle Earth Inspired Map of Minnesota.

[pixalry]

The Realms of Middle America: Minnesota - Submitted by Tom Wiener

 Combining his love for Tolkien lore and his very own home state, Tom has recreated a brilliant map of the lands of Minnesota with that look that only comes from Middle Earth. You may not recognize all the names on the map as Tom took a few artistic liberties in describing some of the land’s more infamous places. We love this design and hope to see more States of Middle America in the future!

Prints are available at Society6.

The Realms of Middle America - Minnesota

Middle Earth Tolkien inspired map of Minnesota. 

So I've been watching and reading a lot of Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and Tolkien in general and I wanted to do a piece to celebrate JRR's great work. I also live (born and raised) in Minnesota and I've been wanting to do some art centered around this great state. So, I decided to combine the two projects!

If you look closely, not all of the locations will make total sense, if you're not from Minnesota. I did change up the names of a few locations to give it more of a Tolkien feel.

I had a blast working on this. I may do a few other states (realms) of the Midwest (Middle America) in the future.

Prints are available on my Society 6 store.

Enjoy.
