LOST Live

As luck would have it, last week I had the unbelievable opportunity to fill in for DocArzt and TVOvermind on the Red Carpet at the LOST Live Event at UCLA! I got a chance to meet the cast and the producers of the show and  was lucky enough to have them sign some of the Lost prints I designed. Needless to say, the whole thing was an incredible experience. You can hear more about it on DocArtz’s podcast and on TVOvermind.com. Below are some of the pictures I took.

All of the Lost prints I designed and other merchandise are available at ABC.com…but I’m keeping this one.

- James Martin + 5.21.10 | 9:47 am

Ty, I was one of the fortunate group that you were so generous with in the parking garage after Lost Live. I just had to say thank you again! I was a fan of your work, but to meet you and find out what a nice guy you are was wonderful! :)

- Cheri + 5.21.10 | 11:08 am

How cool. Your work is so fantastic, I’m so glad you were able to get it signed by some of the cast and Darlton. I look forward to seeing what you come up with for your finale design for the series finale. Great work.

- Tara + 5.21.10 | 11:57 am

Very cool Ty. So awesome that you got to meet some of the creative people behind the show. Excellent photography as well.

- Duane Kinsey + 5.21.10 | 5:11 pm

That is amazing! You are my newest hero … graphic designer, illustrator, lost fan, AND you got to meet/talk to the cast!

- Veronica + 5.24.10 | 9:47 pm

DUDE. I can’t believe this! So lucky, well played my friend, well played…

- Brent + 5.24.10 | 10:54 pm

Wow, I really wish I could have gone to that. So jealous!

- Matt + 5.26.10 | 9:58 am

Nice Ty!

Holy shit!

This is so awesome. You’re own header and category on abc.com!

- josh elliott + 5.11.10 | 1:56 pm

Congrats dude…way cool!

- Micah Smith + 5.11.10 | 1:57 pm

Hey, awesome prints. Are they all open editions? Did you sign and number any of them? Thanks. Hoping to add a few to my walls.

- John + 5.11.10 | 2:14 pm

Is this signed or numbered?

- Rob + 5.11.10 | 3:09 pm

That is just seriously so awesome. What a great connection Lost and it’s creators have with their fan base to recognize this amazing work you did and make it part of the official Lost world!! I am so stoked for these! Congratulations!!

- Jonna Isaac + 5.11.10 | 3:15 pm

Congratulations Ty. You really deserve all the recognition you are getting for these. Awesome work! Thanks again, for doing the interview with us.

- Duane Kinsey + 5.11.10 | 3:20 pm

congrats TY…so cool that they gave you your own section…and titled it your name!

- Brad + 5.11.10 | 8:15 pm

I just bought this, I can’t wait to have them all! Congrats!

- Marjorie + 5.12.10 | 6:05 am

These are awesome™! Can’t wait to buy one. :)

- kym + 5.12.10 | 6:06 am

Congrats on these. All of them are fantastic. Headed over to the ABC store right now . . .

- Steven + 5.12.10 | 6:54 am

i want the three “yellow” ones NOW! i’m normally patient, but these are remarkable!

- bunny + 5.12.10 | 1:10 pm

You had me right up until the last one. That’s the wrong VW bus. The production used second generation Type II’s (1968-1972) for the Dharma vans. You’ve used a first generation. I get the artistic license thing, but this is missing the point. The van you’ve used was never on the show.

- Rob + 5.12.10 | 9:50 pm

I am curious as to what paper these are printed on?

- josh k + 5.13.10 | 10:08 am

wow! can’t wait until all are available! love them! great job!!

- tina + 5.15.10 | 11:32 am

These are so incredibly amazing. I love all of them!

- Steve + 10.6.10 | 6:37 pm

Are these still available for sale? The link does not work anymore.

- Josh + 11.14.10 | 8:52 am

[...] Show. I might need to get one for my man, since he’s OBSESSED with Lost. Check out his prints here or at the ABC store. Posted by ehalvey on May 12, 2010 Leave a Comment » [...]

Nashville Flood Relief Poster


Quick poster design this morning for a benefit concert in Nashville.

[UPDATE]
Thanks to everyone who has commented or emailed. Originally I created this for a friend who was helping to promote a church benefit concert…but honestly I would love to for the art to be used to do as much good as possible, for as many people as possible. So let me look into it to see how we can do that. I will let you know.

[SECOND UPDATE - 5/10/10]
Okay! Again, thanks to everyone who has commented or emailed about this poster. Here’s what I’m going to do. I’d like to donate this art to help with flood relief in the broadest possible way. So instead of printing these myself, or working exclusively with one organization, what I’m going to do is give the art to anyone who wants to use it to raise money. You can create prints, stickers, t-shirts…anything and everything that you think will help.

The only thing that I would ask is that 100% of all proceeds to any of the following charities:

The Community Foundation of Middle Tennesee
Hands On Nashville
Nashville Red Cross
2nd Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee
Samaritan’s Purse

ALL OF THE ART FILES CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE.

I’ve added some new designs that incorporate the “We Are Nashville” slogan, and some t-shirt designs as well. Originally the design was created to promote a concert. I hope they still use it. I hope Cool People Care create shirts and stickers and sell them on their site. I would love it if Hatch Show Print created some one-of-a-kind posters! If you have a print shop, make posters. If you can make t-shirts, make t-shirts. Feel free to use the art however you want. Feel free to improve it or create different variations…it’s up to you. Just make sure all proceeds to go the charities above.

Nashville is home to some amazingly creative artists. My hope is that my art does the most good for the most people. I can’t wait to see what you do with it.

We Are Nashville,
Ty

Nice! To the point and very elegant!

- Shawn Hazen + 5.6.10 | 11:10 am

Love it. I especially enjoy the not completely “clean” look – the scratchy look. (I’m sure there’s a technical graphic designer/artist term for that.)

- Michelle Doerr + 5.6.10 | 12:48 pm

What concert? I would love to purchase one of these, especially if some of the proceeds go to flood relief.

- Natalie + 5.6.10 | 1:43 pm

Nice! Reminds me of the quote Design should never say, “Look at me.” It should always say, “Look at this.”
— David Craib
Your work will help bring Nashville the help and attention it needs. For that we thank you!

- neely catignani + 5.6.10 | 1:55 pm

Agree with the comment of Natalie. This image is now my wallpaper. I hope we can buy it in some form soon. I would have this in my home. Thank you for making it.

- Scott + 5.6.10 | 10:50 pm

I would really love this on a T-shirt!!! If that actually happens email me. Thx Kacy

- Kacy Huntley + 5.7.10 | 1:53 pm

I third Natalie’s comment! Please make this available, especially if proceeds go towards flood relief!

- Jennifer + 5.7.10 | 2:20 pm

Would love to purchase one of these! I had just mused earlier that someone should create a lovely poster, with proceeds benefiting recovery. And ta-da!

- susannah + 5.7.10 | 2:21 pm

Love it! Where can I get one?

- Michael + 5.7.10 | 2:49 pm

- Ty + 5.7.10 | 3:04 pm

I would LOVE to buy one of these for our home and our office! I hope it becomes available and helps out some of our victims and relief efforts.

- chelle baldwin + 5.7.10 | 3:09 pm

Want it. subtle yet perfect. Pictures do speak a thousand words.

- Kathy + 5.7.10 | 3:13 pm

If the church is unable to get them mass produced for buyers maybe this website could point you in the right direction. They are doing shirts and bumper stickers that say “We are Nashville” Here is the link.

I don’t live in Nashville but I’ve got my eyes set on a move there in a year. The way the people of Nashville have come together during this hard time is incredible. I would LOVE to have one of these posters. Money to help clean up a place I would love to call home.

- Corey + 5.7.10 | 3:23 pm

Please make this into a shirt. I would rather buy this than the current “We Are Nashville” shirt. I would love to see “We Are Nashville” under this image. Great job.

- Nathan + 5.7.10 | 3:24 pm

I would also LOVE to buy this in a t-shirt for my whole family. ESPECIALLY if we can work it out to benefit the flood victims….

- Ann Frances + 5.7.10 | 4:00 pm

I would love to buy one of these for my musician husband’s office. Fantastic design and if it goes towards flood relief, even better. Shirts would be awesome too. I love seeing so many talented artists come up with these cool things to help our city. I’m going to have quite a collection when it’s all said and done!!

- Erika + 5.7.10 | 4:41 pm

I am displaced from my home because of the flood and would love to have this hanging when I get things dry, rebuilt and I can finally move back in. Please e-mail if this becomes available for purchase!

- Kelsey + 5.7.10 | 6:09 pm

Would love to use this on my FB page and blog.

- Mike + 5.7.10 | 9:37 pm
