Client wanted a bee-themed label for her chapstick.

Was designed to be printed in shades of black on a brown-paper label, so color was not requested.

Infographic created as a gift for an avid golver who enjoys a few cold ones on the course.

Designed to be printed and framed.

Infographic for a shipping service.

Illustrations were provided by the client, along with the branding guidelines and colors.

Tri-fold, double sided brochure created for tourists in the town of Pioche, NV.

The company had no existing branding at the time, so all colors and style was procured by me. We ended up creating a series of these for 4 towns within Lincoln County in Nevada.

Maps also created by me.

Fun little birthday card I created for my two favorite musicians who share the same special day.

Invitations, RSVP, and drink menu for a very special occasion!

This was a fun project I created in my free time. It features my old cat Sadie on horseback among the great cats vs dogs battle.

Flyer created for a band’s gig at the Virgin Hotel.

The bill was an eclectic mix of bands, so I tried to not focus on one particular look, but something a little more stylized that fit the look of the venue’s branding.

Client wanted a background for her iPhone focused around the phrase “Bee Strong”

(bee artwork not created by me)

Fun design based on a caricature drawing who wanted their face on a dollar bill. Type was replaced and manipulated on a vector dollar bill drawing.

I did not create the face drawing, but placed it into the artwork and cleaned it up to match.

Flyer for a motocross event. Created in Photoshop.

Fun Christmas card I created by cropping out the original backdrop in Photoshop, and adding vector snowflakes and lettering in Illustrator.

The colors were chosen by the couple.

The client requested an illustrative guitar in a hot dog bun for a t-shirt.

Yum!

Instructions designed for a label on the side of a makeup box.

Image was designed to go on a 2”x2” label, so it had to be clean and instructional, but interesting enough to match the company’s branding.

A lot of clients request an original sketch to be converted to vector. That is what I created with this Fireman’s Badge. This is not my original drawing, but I was happy to vectorize the artwork for the client so they can use it on any medium. They requested the date change, too.

The image on the right is the vector artwork.

Fishing logo that client requested to be redrawn in vector (in Illustrator).

The client also requested to switch the black lettering to their brand blue color.

Roofing logo that client requested to be redrawn in vector (in Illustrator).

This one was a little tricky because the original artwork wasn’t exactly drawn “straight” regarding the lines of the buildings and windows. But i stayed true to the original design.

Some samples of charts I recreated to be published in a book.

The author wanted a hand-drawn look to the lettering, so I chose an appropriate typeface.

Single artwork for Without Me by Easy, Demon.

I saw this old Mercedes sitting at a stoplight from a cool vantage point, so I snapped a picture as fast as I could.

Easy, Demon is a rock n roll band in Chicago created by a group of friends who’ve played together for years. Their up-tempo, emo-crooner style makes it easy to inspire brightly colored artwork.

“Demons just wannna have fun”

Artwork for the single Changed My Mind by Easy, Demon.

I shot this photo in a room behind the studio where this song was recorded. Used some Photoshop tools to age it.

Artwork for a compilation album of past hits for a producer named Rediculus.

His never-ending list of local artists were recording singles faster than I could drum up ideas based on their lyrics and music.

A quick turnaround matched with a striking design are what matters most on these.
