Illustration
Winston & Oliver
This digital illustration was a request from my son for his wedding in August 2019. It was used on a signature drink display board at the wedding reception. (Photoshop)
‘HoHoHo’
Have you been Naughty or Nice? Merry Christmas 2018!! (Photoshop)
Cardinal Farm
Here is a fun logo illustration I created for a highland cattle farm in the Traverse City MI area. The project involved a logo and signage (so a vector format was the perfect fit). A few of my idea sketches and client reference (see images below). (Photoshop/Illustrator)
Merry Christmas
A little elf magic… do you Believe? Merry Christmas 2017!! (Photoshop)
Cement Works
An icon (cement mixer see image below left) that I created in Adobe Illustrator (a designer friend asked me to create for a freelance project he was working on). My rough idea sketch (see image below right). I than repurposed it to create the logo above. (Illustrator/Photoshop)
Chinaman’s Hat
Having some illustrative fun with new watercolor brushes in Photoshop (detail image below). The reference came from a colleague at work. He took the photo while on vacation in Hawaii. (Photoshop)
Merry Christmas
“The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow”… Gave the luster of rudolf with his nose all aglow… Merry Christmas 2016! (Photoshop)
Capital Lights At Night
This rough sketch illustration was inspired by some paintings I stumbled upon at the Iron Horse Hotel & Bar and the illuminated capital on a resent trip to Milwaukee and Madison WI. I used a soft digital pencil for the overall dark shapes (see image below) and kept my palette limited to 8 colors. (Photoshop)
Dexter
I have done numerous commissioned portraits (people and animals) both traditional and digital. Here is another one that I did for a good friend in January. Photos I was given as reference (see images below). I used some new digital watercolor brushes that have a real nice feel on this one. (Photoshop)
