jiu-jitsu art | BjjBrick

A big thank you to Carmel paints https://www.instagram.com/carmelpaints/. Working with Carmel to get this done was great. She was dedicated to the task of delivering something great. She has a great attention to detail and amazing skill. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for some BJJ art work.

The final image

We get to finally have Joe appear in the podcast art work. Plus Gary now has a black belt, that he received seconds after seeing the art work for the first time.

Just for fun I will give you a behind the scenes look at how we got to this image. It started with contacting Carmelpaints and telling her that I was looking for a new image to represent the BjjBrick Podcast. She wanted to know what we looked like so I sent her a hand full of pictures that I pulled from facebook.

Here are a bunch of the pictures i sent Carmel.

We then had some back and forth conversations about what I was looking for. And she started sending me some sketches.

Carmel had some ideas for adding color.

The last step was to get a few patches made.

If you need art work done for your gym or website I had a great experience working with https://www.instagram.com/carmelpaints/.
