heavynuggets is the abstract art and design home of John Engelman.
It’s also so much more.
In addition to years of work as an abstract artist, and doing graphic design for a variety of clients on a whole host of projects ranging from t-shirts to tour programs, he is also one of the co-founders of MIDWESTpeeps, a Midwestern America based, music focused streetwear brand, and is also the host of sodagiant, the Internet’s Soft Drink Review Show, now entering it’s 11th year of occasional production.
While I love working on all of the commission paintings, t-shirts, hoodies, music videos, lapel pins, band logos, banners, root beers, buttons, magazines, posters, album covers, postcards, stickers, company logos, restaurant menus, DVD covers, and anything else you can throw at me, I'm not much of a web design guy. I can do a lot of things, but web design from scratch is not one of them. Need a Squarespace (it's what this site is built on) site? No problem. Anything else? Let's just say I "may" or "may not" know "a guy" who can "take care" of this "problem" for you... Got that?
You may notice this site has a few sections listed (other than this about page) in the header. ABSTRACT ART is a collection of my abstract works. This collection will always be growing with both new works and old, as I dig through my personal archives. DESIGN is a collection of design projects I’ve worked on through the years, including t-shirts, tour programs, lapel pins, and LP covers. I love designing things that get made. It’s cool to see something you did on a shirt or as a pin. MIDWESTpeeps is a streetwear brand I started in the mid-2000's with some friends and kept alive here. It's got it's own long history, but that a story for another time.
