Good Magazine Illustration

Good Magazine approached me and asked if I'd be interested in doing an illustration for their neighborhood issue. Since I'm a big fan of the mag I quickly accepted. Even though it's not a neighborhood, I did my flag over Abilene, Texas. I used ornate line work and textures to create some country charm and picked the reddish-orange background to represent a Texas sunset. I decided to put a tag line in there that says "Abilene I Can Fly". After incorporating that, I knew it was complete.

Another Save The Date

Old college friend asked me to do her save the date recently. I had complete creative freedom and this was what I came up with. No concept, just nice type and excecution.

NYC to ABI

Me and a few other ACU alums that have worked in NYC were part of an art show in Abilene recently. The show was titled ABI/NYC and was received well. Me and a buddy of mine, Jeff Rogers, did the collateral. I did the ABI portion and he did the NYC. This is what I came up with for my part of the logo.

Save The Date

This is a save the date I did for some good friends of mine. They wanted it to look shabby sheik, have flowers, and it needed to have pink and gray. This is what I came up with.

Merry Christmas!

This was my family's 2009 Christmas card. Pretty typical holiday portrait with our vests and antlers on. Sorry for those of you who got their cards after the New Year. That's what I get for ordering the envelopes a week before Christmas.

Mitch & Lindy's Wedding Invitation

Rocketboy Mitch and his lovely bride-to-be Lindy approached me to do their wedding invite. They just wanted something nice and pretty. This is what I did. I think they liked it quite a bit.

The Rocketboys 2010 tour poster

I do a lot of work for the Austin-based band The Rocketboys. They approached me to do a poster for their upcoming 2010 tour and I gladly accepted the job. I decided to team up with a local design studio named Belmont Icehouse and give them a series of design options. This is just one of the few we showed. They loved everything we presented.

Meisel Holiday Card

I did this Holiday card for Meisel through Belmont Icehouse (nice studio in Dallas, Tx). Meisel is a company that primarily focuses on retail, corporate, and trade show graphics. They've been around for over fifty years and has always tried to be on the edge of print technology. This concept was going to be a fold-out 3 dimensional card (snowman would be the front panel, then the house, then the trees and sky). They didn't have enough time to print these and send them out before the Holidays. It's a shame because they're quite nice.

10 Steps on How to Change One's Perception of Yourself

This illustration was done for a Christian magazine publication in Amarillo, Texas. It's essentially an ad for the editorial. If you take this "medicine" you can change one's perception of yourself. I think it looks pretty nice but it didn't fly with the client. This was the second of two directions. It was a difficult project that didn't come out the way they wanted so we both cut our losses. Oh well!

The Welcome Wagon EP

This year, the Urbana 09 Student Missions teamed up with FreeSetGlobal.com to help end Kolkata's most recognized sex trade industry in the Sonagacchi Red Light District. FreeSet Global is trying to keep women out of the sex trade industry and give them skills and jobs enabling them to live sustainably. These women create these amazing organic handbags which are sold on the FreeSet Global website. Now they're trying to increase their company by creating a new T-Shirt line. The Welcome Wagon has generously donated their upcoming EP to help spread the word of FreeSet Global's mission. Urbana approached me and asked if I would be interested in donating my services to this cause. I worked with The Welcome Wagon to create the look and feel of this cover and I think it turned out pretty great.

100% of the sales for the next several months will go straight to this cause, which is absolutely awesome. If you buy this album you'll help save over 45 women (and their families) and future generations escape from this sex trade industry. SO BUY IT... when it is released. I'll keep you posted.

Sunday's Birthday Invite

Here is an invitation I did for my friend's birthday. If you knew Sunday (my friend) you'd know he's a stand-up guy who lives fashion and class. This invitation played off the phrase "Put on your Sunday best" and Sunday inviting you as one of his best friends to his birthday extravaganza. I thought it worked pretty well. He really enjoyed it and that's what really counts.
