Fractal Wave

Nick Beery — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 16:52:03 +0000

This design started as a reaction to Japan’s recent tsunami. It is based on a sequence of interlocking equilateral Fibonacci-series triangles that generate a double spiral. It is ultimately a reflection of the balance, yin and yang, which our planet keeps check of through nature.

Fractal Wave also emulates the mathematical equation found in the golden ratio. In mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one. The mathematics of the golden ratio and of the Fibonacci sequence are intimately interconnected.

Fibonacci sequence is proven to exist by way of fractals in everything from human and plant DNA, how our continents are formed, to even the world’s financial markets. It is a sequence that occurs in everything. It is how we assimilate beauty with all things visually.

Please vote on Fractal Wave if you feel the simplicity of design through this repetitious geometrical pattern.

The Skinny

I’ve been working with Skinny Buddha and The NOC crew since the giddyup. It’s a solid bond and we keep one another energized like pink bunnies with drums each and every step of the way. Building an ark to carry our precious treasures and potions of intoxicating creations we set out across the nation spreading the word of sages and leaving a trail of masses screaming for more. As collaborators in a saucy day and age such as this it is rewarding providing platforms to endorse those who strive passionately with their spirited appetites and create a means of structure to grow together. Is a reciprocated, viciously beautiful cycle of power we pass back and forth so when the lacy gems of brilliance come to fruition the bounty is shared and we dine like blazing lions fresh on the kill. For we are always hungry…

Here’s the latest blast on the NOC apparel designed by the Beery. Love touch action tees blessed with the iconic NOC logo. This time around I switched up the classic logo branding the beer bottle of the C and swapped in a spilling oil drum paying homage to the South Atlantic and the BP bullshit. We love our coasts. That’s where we enjoy our fun in the sun carnage. Seriously it is an incredible force working with solid talent. Expect another explosive year…Beery Method + Skinny Buddha = 2011!

Classic NOC logo illlustrates the groups fresh flavors through letter elements. The “N” – Joint and hand sort of implying the bird though not literally. The “O” – an eye peering out surrounded by teeth: the old there is more to the inner sense and style that will hit you when the lyrical mouth lets loose and the snake eating itself (ouroboros): The Ouroboros represents self reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return of K Sos and The NOC The “C” – The lyricists best friend the pencil. A tipped bottle of booze “pour out a little liquor”! and the wave: giving homage to Florida roots.

The NOC classic

The NOC Oil Logo boasts the same classic graphics except for changing up the top element of the C. We agreed that an oil drum and monochromatic color scheme would enhance the logo for the Southern crowd. After playing with some color ways we had a vivid velvet purple and royal blue that really made the printing pop off the black garments. Below is the muted ‘oil’ color way.

Stone Temple Pilots

My teenage years took place in the midst of the grunge deluge during the 90′s. Needless to say that the music of the time had an adverse affect on me then and a rippling effect on me now. STP was one of those emerging bands that although more L.A. had that Seattle sound of the time. They merged in with the likes of Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains quite effectively. Many o’boyhood memories occurred with the perpetuating soundtrack backdrop of Stone Temple Pilots and I still listen to their pop-refined ear medicine today. So when contacted through the band’s merchandising company to do some design work for the band I damn near blew a valve right outta my brain pan! I was like “hell yeah, what’s the direction?”. The band wanted something psychedelic and that was all I needed to hear. After sending them a few mock ups I decided to work out one of the psychedelic-posteresque concepts I had roaming through the gray matter. What you see below is a near finalized version of the Oracle design I began for the band.

Working with any band on covers, collaterals, and designs takes quite a bit of time. Not just on the creation aspect, but in just getting in touch and hearing back from such superstars. It took a while for them to finally get back with me about the design. It appears as though they may not be using this one on the merchandise as planned, but it was a hell of a lot of fun dishing out some psychedelic throw back material for one of my all time favorite rock bands!

Colaborating with the Pacific NW’s finest clothing companies is what I do best. An up and coming line and new eco-concious apparel company º315 will be breaking ground this summer 2010. Consisting of local artists from Seattle and the NW area we are pumping out stylish tees that have a unique flavor that represents what we do best up in this corner of the States. All products from º315 are super high quality and the shirts are 100% bamboo that allows the skin to breathe and feel incredibly soft. Here is a glimpse of one of the designs by BeeryMethod for the company called Space Brain. Nothing quite like astronauts plugged into the audio dj turntables and planting the US flag on a massive brain. Visual sweetness and complexity with this 4 color design on super silky bamboo!
