Independent creative studio · San Angelo, Texas · Working nationwide

You built something real.
It should look like it.

Texas Blood Money Media builds brand identities, campaign visuals and merch systems for musicians, apparel brands and culture-driven businesses.

Logos, release campaigns, apparel graphics and connected visual systems built to make the whole brand feel intentional.

Different by design
Defiant by nature.

01 / The gap

Your work is better than the way it looks online.

A strong release, product or business can still get ignored when the logo feels disposable, the posts look unrelated and every new graphic starts from zero.

I close that gap with a visual system people can recognize, trust and remember.

02 / Selected work

Proof, organized.

Six distinct project bodies selected to show identity, campaign and merch work. Status is labeled honestly.

01

Identity case study · Podcast / radio

Whistle × Whiskey

A working identity breakdown that turns a loud, unfiltered show into one recognizable on-air mark.

Direction
Character-led, high contrast and deliberately off-script.
System
Primary mark, cast of characters, two-colour palette and deployment logic.
Built to move
Broadcast graphics, social promotion, merch and live applications.
02

Phase-one identity · Client work

Bone Appetite

A mascot-led identity system built to give a Texas pet-treat brand warmth, recognition and room to grow.

Direction
Boutique bakery warmth balanced with bold, friendly character.
System
Master mark, badge series, icon family, typography and tagline.
Applications
Labels, product families, social graphics and retail touchpoints.
03

Identity exploration · Concept directions

New Mexico 12 Volt

Four identity routes testing how power, motion and regional cues can become a fast-reading brand mark.

Direction
Speed, electrical energy and New Mexico geometry without a generic bolt.
System
Symbol routes, wordmark variations and high-contrast palette options.
Built to move
Vehicle graphics, workwear, signage and digital use.
04

Release artwork · Concept direction

Suburban Sermon

A release world built from distressed Americana, empty streets and a title treatment strong enough to carry the campaign.

Direction
Red, navy and bone with worn flag texture and suburban-night tension.
System
Hero artwork, alternate cover direction and custom title treatment.
Applications
Cover art, announcements, social cuts and campaign extensions.
05

Campaign + merch · Client work

Gripkill Supply Co.

A motorcycle-focused visual direction translated across promotion and product without losing speed or impact.

Direction
Gothic lettering, high-speed imagery and a blue/orange signal palette.
System
Promotional cover direction and a standalone helmet graphic.
Applications
Social promotion, product graphics and future campaign cuts.
06

Merch capsule · Client work

Obsidian Cult Records

A front-and-back apparel system that gives the label multiple visual lanes without losing the name.

Direction
Small chest marks, oversized backs and black/white garment contrast.
System
Typographic marks, character graphics and cold/fire artwork variants.
Applications
A multi-route shirt capsule with deliberate front and back placement.

03 / What I build

Three systems. One clear studio.

Everything public fits one of these offers. No scattered service menu.

01

Identity Systems

Recognizable visual foundations for brands that need more than a one-off logo.

Logos + wordmarks · Type + color · Mascots · Supporting marks · Brand standards

02

Release & Campaign Systems

Connected visuals for a release, launch, event or promotion that has to hold together across every touchpoint.

Album + single art · Posters · Social rollout assets · Launch visuals · Campaign direction

03

Merch & Apparel Graphics

Wearable artwork and product collections built around the identity instead of pasted onto it.

Apparel graphics · Drop systems · Placements · Supporting marks · Production-ready art

Need one strong asset first? Single-release artwork and standalone merch graphics are available when the project has a clear purpose—and can expand into a connected system later.

Built for

People already moving.

Musicians with releases. Apparel brands with products. Independent businesses with proof, momentum and a point of view.

Not built for

Cheap-logo roulette.

No unpaid samples. No “make it pop” scavenger hunts. No pretending a random graphic is a brand system.

04 / Process

Clear enough to move. Flexible enough to make something original.

01

Find the real problem

We define what is changing, what is getting lost and what the new work has to accomplish.

02

Build the direction

You see a clear visual direction before the idea expands into every deliverable.

03

Make the system

The selected direction becomes connected, usable assets instead of unrelated files.

04

Release it clean

Final work is organized for real use, with direct communication and no agency telephone game.

05 / The studio
