humorous illustration
Blues Hound Email Campaign
Check out this email promotional campaign I am did through Agency Access for November of 2013. It is the second installment in a series I have in capturing the challenges art buyers face in a humorous way. I decided to use a fun B/W doodle illustration style for the main image with an arrow that lets you see the full color version of the art when you click on it.
I wanted to do something more than just show an existing illustration to attract work, I wanted to create something that is designed for this particular campaign and have art buyers relate to it.
I have included the ad in its entirety which includes the copy I had written for it.

University Mascot Character Design
Recently I was commissioned by Turkel Advertising in Miami, Florida to do a character design for Barry University. They needed a redesign for their parrot buccaneer mascot Bucky.
The first step was to draw sketches of numerous different pirate parrots, in Corel Painter using my Wacom Intous 4 tablet, to narrow down the direction we wanted to focus on.
After that was completed, finding the right combination of clothing, hat and what the character was going to be holding in his hands was the next step.
The next step was to create various color comps in Photoshop to get the colors right before going to final art. When we had what the character was going to look like wired, I went to final art and completed Bucky in Adobe Illustrator.
I also created color comps of Bucky for a costume design company to use as a guide in making a mascot costume.
Check out the final art along with 3 of the many ideas created in the process.
Lemme know what ya think.
Kid Stuff Winter Catalog Cover
I recently illustrated another fun piece for the great folks at Kid Stuff for their winter 2013 catalog. Its great to see kids have so much fun with toys and I wanted to capture that joy in this piece. I posted an earlier blog on Oct. 1 that shows a super rough gesture sketch of how I wanted the composition to be. It was a challenge to fit all the elements, the client requested, into such a vertical format and leave room for the logo and some type but I do love a challenge and believe it came out great. What do you think?
Thank you Kid Stuff for the opportunity to create such fun pieces and I look forward to many more....you all rock!!!!
My New Email Campaign
Check out this email campaign I am doing through Agency Access that is sent out to folks in the advertising industry. It is the first installment in a series I have in capturing the challenges art buyers face in a humorous way. I decided to use a fun B/W doodle illustration style which incorporates use of already existing color images I have done in my digital airbrush style.
I wanted to do something more than just show an existing illustration to attract work, I wanted to create something that is designed for this particular campaign and have art buyers relate to it.
I have included the ad in its entirety which includes the copy I had written for it.
