What's in style right now? Those old school NBA snapback hats! Remember, the ones we all have had at some point and we always thought they were just a cheap hat? Yeah, those.

Rick Ross 9 Piece Remix Cover

2011-05-21T12:33:00.000-07:00

I decided to make an alternative cover for Rick Ross's new single '9 Piece' featuring Lil Wayne? I like this cover better than the real one...Any one else feel the same way?

Soar young center fielder, soar.

Lady Gaga Sig

2011-05-19T15:42:00.000-07:00

I'm not a Gaga fan but she has a cool style...a funky style at that. That same funky style influenced this sig and I believe it turned out great because like Gaga, this sig is different than most of the others.

Luck of the Silas

2011-05-17T15:26:00.000-07:00

Lil Wayne Sig

2011-05-13T19:16:00.000-07:00

Decided to make another Wayne piece tonight since I'm feeling creative.....and Im glad I did. This sig turned out great! One of my personal favorites! The original pic was from the filming of MTV Unplugged last night in LA!

Tha Carter IV Wallpaper

2011-05-13T15:34:00.000-07:00

Haven't posted a wallpaper in a while because they take me a long time to do....This one took almost 2 hours of work time to get it just right. I think it turned out fantastically and I hope everyone else thinks so as well. The text above "Carter 4" says "Highway to heaven, God do you see my headlights?". Those are some lyrics that are supposedly from a new song off Wayne's new C4 song "Nightmare's on the Bottom". Feel free to use this wallpaper on your desktop!

Patrick Peterson and Jake Locker Sigs

2011-04-27T13:16:00.000-07:00

It's the day before the NFL Draft and 2 of the hottest names out there are Jake Locker and Patrick Peterson. Peterson, a cornerback from LSU, is projected to be one of the top 5 selections. Locker, a QB from Washington, is projected to go as high as the top 10. he has really raised his stock over the last few weeks.

i thought it would be a good idea to post these today as I am hyped for the draft tomorrow.....Cam Newton to the Panthers? I hope so!

What do you think about the sigs and the draft! Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Cam Newton Draft Sig

2011-04-22T18:09:00.000-07:00

Cam Newton could be the Panthers number one selection in next week's NFL draft!

'Young Carter' Sig!

2011-04-19T16:21:00.000-07:00

Yes, the picture I used is the OFFICIAL Carter 4 cover(Lil Wayne). It just came out literally about an hour ago! I had to make a sig for a contest so i decided to go ahead and use the C4 cover...why not, huh? I will give more details about the contest I entered at a later date. Proof I made the sig is after the break...

Playoff Matchups

2011-04-17T07:56:00.000-07:00

This one took longer than normal. I really love the way it turned out....all the 2011 NBA Playoff matchups in one piece. Who do you think is going all the way this year? I want the Lakers to 3-peat and I've been picking Bulls v. Lakers for the Finals since the beginning of the season!

What do you think about this piece and the Playoffs?

Wiz Khalifa Rolling Stone Sig!

2011-04-03T08:18:00.000-07:00

I think this one turned out pretty sick. It's really simple but unlike anything I have posted on here before. I only used the Rolling Stone cover and some brushes to make this...no other pics used! Took all of about 5 minutes to make! Let me know what you think!

And buy Wiz's new album Rolling Papers, out now!

Gerald Henderson Photo Edit

2011-02-17T06:50:00.000-08:00

"Hendo" has been ballin' as of late for my Charlotte Bobcats! Last game @ CHI Gerald posted a career high 22 points. He is playing with alot of confidence mostly due to Head Coach Paul Silas and the way he has ran the team since taking over for Larry Brown about 25 games ago.

Lil Wayne Tha Carter IV Cover?

2011-02-07T16:51:00.000-08:00

Is this Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV cover? No....I just made it up real quick. But if Wayne wants to use it he can feel free! I just have to get 1/2 the sales of the album! But seriously, this wasn't too difficult to make and it turned out pretty well. But really, Wayne, holler at me! :D

DJ Augustin Sig

2011-01-23T07:58:00.000-08:00

Mike Vick Wallpaper

2010-12-17T14:58:00.000-08:00

Like him or not, Mike Vick is back in a big way. He is the leader in Pro Bowl voting and a solid candidate for NFL MVP with 24 total touchdowns and only 4 interceptions. With that said, I have definately been watching him play. Actually i have watched him his whole career. I live in Charlotte, NC so when Mike was with Atlanta he was a big rival to the Panthers. He is no doubt one of my favorite players to watch in the NFL this year. And he has really turned his life around after being away for a while. I truly think he has changed for the better.

On to the wallpaper I made...In my opinion, this is my best wallpaper. Everything seemed to work well but I wish the bottom of his foot wasn't cut off. I faded it out and it's only a small cut off in the photo but it's not too noticeable. The bigger Vick int he background really makes this wallpaper stand out too. I really love this piece. What do you all think? Is Mike Vick the MVP? Is this my best wallpaper yet?

Santa Claus is Comin' To Town!

2010-12-10T14:55:00.000-08:00

With only 15 days until Christmas, I decided to make a sig of the big man himself Mr Claus! This sig will actually be entered in a contest for best Christmas/Holiday themed piece so I will update this post if I win! What does everyone want for Christmas?

Cam Newton Sig

2010-12-06T13:08:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since my last post but I'm back with a new sig! This time it features Cam Newton, the fantastic Auburn quarterback who could be this years Heisman trophy winner. As a Carolina Panthers fan, I am hoping the Panthers will be able to select Newton in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Feel free to use the sig on message boards and other sites if need be!

Youtube Videos using my Designs?!?

2010-10-01T15:08:00.000-07:00

Just for fun, I went on a search and found a few videos using my designs on Youtube.
The first one I found used my I Am Not A Human Being T-shirt design. You can find that video here!

The second video I found uses my old DRAKE wallpaper. The guy at least credited me in the description! Check that one out here.

I believe I have seen a few more in the past as well. If you find a new video using one of my old designs(or new ones) post it on the comments. If you want to use a design off of my site I say go for it! Just remember to give me my "props" and post a link to DieboltDesigns in the description!

Leave a comment and let me know what videos you have spotted some of my work in!

Gerald Wallace Sig

2010-09-24T18:21:00.000-07:00

Big day for Bobcats fans, and all other NBA fans, as a 4 team trade is in place and likely to go down. It would bring Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey and Devin Harris to Charlotte. Anyway, today made me pumped for the season so I did a practice sig. It looks good, it's not my best, but I like it. Any thoughts?

I Am Not A Human Being Wallpaper

2010-09-22T12:45:00.000-07:00

I made this wallpaper over the last two days due to Lil Wayne's upcoming album I Am Not A Human Being. It's a bit different from a lot of my previous wallpapers because it is centered around the text as opposed to a picture. Also, I recreated the black light tattoos Wayne has to the left of the writing and I like the way that turned out as well.

Remember to buy I Am Not A Human Being on September 27th on iTunes!

My Graphic Design II Class: Update 1

2010-09-01T08:55:00.000-07:00

So the school year has started and I'm actually a week into it. Why am I telling you this? Well that means I will be taking Graphic Design II. Im lucky to be in this class and had to drop a few other classes to get into it with the way my schedule was. Only 3 schools in my area have this class, so I had to take it, as it will give me an advantage to anyone else trying to get into college for graphic design. We do some really cool projects throughout the year and I figured I may as well post them to DieboltDesigns and get a little feedback. We should be starting the first big project of the year this week so I will have another update soon detailing what I am doing and possibly even a preview as to what it will look like. When its finished I will definitely either scan the project or take a picture for everyone to see. I plan on doing an update for every project, so keep an eye out for my posts!

Lave a comment and let me know if you have any thoughts on this!

Charlotte Magazine quotes me on a fake Twitter account!

2010-08-19T16:12:00.000-07:00

Read the above article from CHARLOTTE MAGAZINE to hear quotes from me about the "infamous" fake Gerald Wallace Twitter account that had the Charlotte sports world buzzing for about a day.

Ronaldinho Wallpaper

2010-08-12T19:45:00.000-07:00

This is my first Wallpaper in quite a while. Soccer season starts very soon so I decided to do one featuring AC Milan megastar Ronaldinho. I used some brishes and kept it quite simple and I actually really like the way it came out! Should I do some more soccer work?

UPDATE ON DIEBOLTDESIGNS-

I haven't made a post in about a month and this is mostly because I have been busy with other work. I plan on coming back really strong going into the fall season as school starts up again. Expect many more designs, shirts and maybe a few more surprises as time goes on. Keep an eye on this site for new stuff!

Bron-Bosh-Wade Shirts available now!

2010-07-09T17:41:00.000-07:00

LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh have decided to join the Miami Heat! Get your shirt now from the DieboltDesigns shop to show your support for this super team now forming in South Beach! You can see the two designs to the left! Leave a comment and let me know what you think!http://dieboltdesignsshop.spreadshirt.com/

What does everyone think about this super team? Will any of you now be a Miami Heat fan? I will not, but Im sure alot of others will be. in my opinion, I think LeBron should not have joined Wade and Bosh in Miami because it will really hurt his name. No one can ever say leBron is better than Kobe now. Kobe needs help like anyone else, but he didnt need help in the form of two of the other Top 10 players to win a ring.

Drake and Kanye T-Shirt Designs!

2010-06-27T21:04:00.000-07:00

These are my two latest t shirt design for my Spreadshirt shop. If you would like to buy either shirt please click the banner link below the main banner or go to dieboltdesigns.spreadshirt.com!
The first one says "Kanye" as you can see to the left and has a picture of Kanye himself. The Kanye picture is all my work and it took around an hour and a half to do just that part.
The second design says "Drizzy Drake" with a picture of Drake. Like the Kanye shirt I made the picture of Drake and its all my work. I figured red, black, and white would be appropriate colors because those were the colors used for Drake's album cover.

From The PS Folder: Lady Gaga Sig

2010-06-26T09:59:00.000-07:00

I started this series a while ago where I bring up a piece of art that I did a while ago and never posted to my site. Today I found a Lady Gaga sig that was made a few months ago. I like the way it came out. (Be sure the click the image in order to view it full size!)

Tyrus Thomas Sig

2010-06-18T18:54:00.000-07:00

This sig was requested by a member of www.bobcatsplanet.com. This is also my first post in June. I am off for the summer so I am going to try to get any requests that come my way done as soon as possible. If you have a request, please send a tweet my way(@jessediebolt), shoot me an email(dieboltdesigns@yahoo.com) or even find me on Facebook!

I also recently redesigned this site. I changed the colors and added a new look banner. I thought it gave the site a new redfined feel. I may still be changing a few things so be on the lookout! And with the new site changes I am also changing the way I post my art. You may have to click the art(like the sig in this post) to see it full size. Full size pictures are always best quality!

Kobe Bryant is a Charlotte Hornet?

2010-05-30T18:48:00.000-07:00

NBA superstar Kobe Bryant was drafted in 1996 by the Charlotte Hornets. Then he was traded to the Lakers. What if Kobe wasn't traded to the Lakers? Would the Hornets still be Charlotte's favorite pro sports team? Would he have as many rings as he does now? We will never know, but thanks to me everyone can see what Kobe would have looked like in a Hornets uniform.

MAYDAY! Sig

2010-05-26T14:06:00.001-07:00

I made this sig because I found this great band called MAYDAY!. I first saw them in Lil Wayne's music video for "On Fire". They will also be in Wayne's video for the song "Da Da Da" which will debut on MTV this weekend. Anyway, I liked this sig alot because I was playing with some settings and figured out how to make the images look a little more like a paper cutout than a image on the computer. As you can see, it worked great with this sig and I can say this is one of my favorite pieces that I have made.

Robinson Cano Sig

2010-05-25T14:39:00.000-07:00

This sig took me almost 1 and a half hours. I started with only the render of Robinson Cano, and composed basically the entire background from it. I used some stocks for some color and lighting effects. I really liek the way this one turned out!

Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Drake Sig

2010-05-25T05:22:00.000-07:00

I decided to make this one after listening to Drake's mixtape "So Far Gone" yesterday for a while. I think it turned out quite well and it has a little bit of a different look than the rest of my sigs. Remember Drake's new albm, "Thank Me Later" comes out on June 15th!

John Wall a Wizard?

2010-05-19T14:13:00.001-07:00

Last night(May 18) the NBA Draft Lottery was held and the Washington Wizards received the number one overall pick. With that pick, it seems likely that they will select Kentucky Guard John Wall. So, I decided to give everyone a early peek at what he will look like in a Wizards uniform. Below I posted the original picture and the version I made.

Kobe Bryant Abstract Sig 2

2010-05-18T15:01:00.001-07:00

This sig is very abstract. I tried something a little different and I actually like the result. KObe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers won Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals last night. Kobe had 40 points.

LeBron James to the Bobcats?

2010-05-15T09:20:00.000-07:00

A Bobcats fan could only hope this would happen next year..."The King" in a Bobcats uniform.

I decided to make this because I have seen all of the jersey switched LeBron pictures since the Cavs lost to Boston the other night. Anyone have a jersey switch request?

2010-04-21T09:38:00.001-07:00

This is a sig of the newest Charlotte Bobcat, Larry Hughes. Im actually watching him play now and he is looking like he is starting to fit in!

I had to concept for this sig. I can honestly say that this was completley freestyle and everything came together as I made it.

FROM MY PS FOLDER: Percy Harvin Sig

2010-03-10T14:52:00.001-08:00

FROM MY PS FOLDER is a series in which I post old artwork that hasn't made it either on my site, or in some cases, on the interent at all. The first part of this series was the Lil Wayne Wallpaper that I posted a while back.

Anyway, this is a Percy Harvin sig that was made during the 2010 NFL Playoffs. I wanted a simple look and I was looking for the colors to not be too strong but still be enough to draw your eyes in.

This is an old wallpaper that I dug up from my giant photoshop folder! :D I may start doing this more often. I have lots of stuff to share!
It was posted on some other site's when it was brand new, so if you have seen it, thats why.
This is also one of my favorite pieces and some say it is one of my most creative and best. I will let you be the judge of that!
