Graphic Design and Illustration

The art show was a success! Thanks to Ginger, Drew, John and everyone who came out to support.

Please come join us and view my new paintings, my friend Ginger’s beautiful photos, and listen to the music stylings of Marc Williams and Mark Quark.

This card was created by combining a pencil drawing of the deer with an ink drawing of the flowers and plants digitally, and the color was also applied digitally. We love mixing hand-done and digital mediums!

A recently completed identity. Very fun project to work on!

Ever wonder how to create custom illustrations in Adobe Illustrator using the pen tool? I’ve just developed a 4-part series (don’t worry, they’re short!) of pen tool tutorials for my online class and thought I’d share them here. You can hear my dog barking in part two, but I think that’s a bonus! Be sure to watch them in order:

This was a fun project to work on. It’s nice when you get to create a logo with markers rather than just digitally! Also, I highly recommend My Computer Guy for any technical needs you may have.

We recently created this identity for FAD Design/Build. Very nice people to work with!

These are from a series of illustrations I did for Cigar Snob magazine. The turnaround was tight, but I’m happy with the way they turned out! I love doing editorial illustrations and had a lot of fun with the project.

This piece is about the cycles of birth, life, and death, not one of which could exist without the others.

This is an oil painting about the magic of manifestation. The pink bubbles represent wishes and desires that are manifested into reality. This piece will appear in a show at Junc Boutique at 2205 Fern St. in South Park. The opening is Saturday, March 28th from 6-10p, so check it out if you’re around!
