Logos: Bluprint Digital



Here's a logo that I really enjoyed doing. It was really a lot of fun to come up with the mark—I will post some of my sketches and the business cards later. For now, enjoy the logo.

Logos: PC Medic Pros


I did this logo for a friend of mine over the weekend. I think it turned out pretty well. I do enjoy being creative—sometimes the simplest things bring me the greatest pleasure.

Illustration: Pink Umbrella, color


Here's the colored version of Pink Umbrella. Cute lil' gator.

Illustration: Pink Umbrella, pencil vs. live trace


I thought I'd post something to show you the difference between a pencil sketch (on the left) and the final live trace version from Illustrator (on the right). Look for a colored version of this illustration coming soon.

Illustration: Sick Dragon, colored



Here is the colored version of the previous illustration. Not too bad—thanks for the color suggestion, Audrey.

Illustration: Sick Dragon



Oh my, oh my. Looks like this guy has a bad case of "the spots". Look for a colored version soon. Anybody have a suggested color scheme? I might consider it, if I think it will work. Leave a reply to this post.

Illustration: Ninja Boy


I sketched this out the other day during a meeting. Turned out to be a pretty decent illustration. I used to dress just like this, back in the day—minus the sword, and most of the time I wore shoes. Simple, yet compelling.

Illustration: Fighter Jet



I illustrated a set of jet, tank and helicopter awhile ago (probably at least a few years) and finally am getting around to coloring them. This one turned out quite well, I think.

Labels: Java Lava (coffee)



I came across these the other day while sifting through the designs of the past. I remember doing these. It was a lot of fun—unfortunately, like with a good majority of my creations, these labels were not used.

Illustration: Cute Pencils



So, I subscribe to several emails and newsletters that deal with illustration and design. This morning I read an interesting article on the way to work talking about "cute character design". Click here to read the article. I did these three illustrations roughly based on the article. I have always thought of my illustrative style as "cute with a twist".

Illustration: Piggy Longstocking


Love the playful, spring colors of this illustration. This was a fun one to draw, and color.

Illustration: Bad Day Ogre



This is the colored version to my "bad day". Turned out pretty good, I think.

Logos: Many Faces One Voice



I did this logo for a non-profit organization. This one had a few solid sketches that would have also worked, but I am glad they chose to go with this one.

Logos: BW Clothing



Here's a few samples of a logo that I did some roughs for. That's about as far as it went. Sad, this could have been really cool in some retro 50s color.

Illustration: Protesting Pig



If you've ever wanted to protest something, make sure you bring your protesting pig along—they get the point across, plus they taste good.
