15th Annual Buckhorn Open Disc

New disc design for the 15th Annual Buckhorn Open in NC. So I get a call to do a new disc by my boys at CADL. Super psyched! It was a really quick deadline, but I new I could get this done quickly. An Idea was already in my head before I got off the phone. A scenic look, all done in Illustrator. I drew it all with the mouse. Easy enough for bold graphic images like this. I did a black and white for the stamp and a color version for promotional use. If you notice the antlers have 15 points, for the 15th annual. Thanks to Jay and Ken and everyone over at CADL. Thanks for believing in me and my art. Here are both versions enjoy. I believe the tournament disc will be the new Innova Colossus. Added to Photos of printed discs.

My favorite Disc Golf Artist

https://allthingsdiscgolf.com/les-white-leaves-stamp-disc-golf-design/ As an artist whenever I see logos or art, I always have two reactions: that's amazing and I tip my hat, or I can do better than that. When I got into Disc Golf I was instantly Drawn to the Innova DX discs because of the stamps. I bought a Wolf and A Destroyer because they looked awesome. What I did not know throwing drivers is very difficult for beginners, but that's not important. Soon after becoming totally obsessed with disc golf I started to find custom tournament stamps and eventually I came across the art of Les White and his Roc 3 design. I feel this is the best Roc design of the all. Now I'm getting inspired and I want to start designing discs. I reached out to Les on Facebook, and we have become friends. he is always there with and inspiring word and great advice. Thanks Les to helping me jump get into a new world of design, loving every minute of it. I shared a link to a great article about Les White's disc golf art and you know who get's a shout out at the end of the article. (You know who is ME!)

Tupelo Bay

Just played in my first ever Tupelo Bay Open, definitely not my last. Everyone told me how fun this tournament is and it did not disappoint. It was great to see so many of my NC disc Golf friends (Tim, Will, Chris, Jay, Bobby, Stick, Kevin), and like always I made a bunch of new friends (John, Jason, Kirk, Ben, Craig, Jay&Tyler, Aaron and Jonathan). Very well run and that just adds to the experience. Great job goes out to Kirk Yoo and everyone who helped put it together. If you have not played this tournament yet put it on the calendar for next year. Great disc design by Mike Inshco, as always. Loved it so much I grabbed an extra to throw. This was also my first opportunity to start spreading the word about Black Hare Disc Golf Designs. I was passing out my new stickers fresh from the printer. This will conclude My 2015 tournament season, but can't wait to get up to Raleigh in a few weeks to Winter Jam and start the 2016 season.

Innova Viking Remake

For a while I have wanted to remake the design for the Innova DX Viking. Not that I don't like the art, but it's a Viking and I love Norse anything. I had some various concepts like a Biker Viking, but came back to a traditional Berserker Viking. Let me state that this project is just an exercise, Innova hasn't called for my art yet. If anyone at Innova sees this, would love a shot of an artist series disc. I plan on more redesigns soon, check previous posts for the Mace and Tursas designs. Enjoy.
