Managing Your Documents

The client chose to go with another sketch for this job but I figured, "Why let this one go to waste?" so I did it too. It was for an article about creating a centralized, digital data repository of documents for easy storage and access. Pretty dry, technical stuff which makes for an interesting challenge. Stay tuned to see the one that got picked...

Update: The selected illustration is posted here with sketches for both pieces.

Halloween Stickers

While in Target today I found these cool Halloween stickers that I did the artwork for for American Greetings. With the Great American Presidents puzzle I did for Crocodile Creek I'm pleased to say that I now have artwork on display at Target and Barnes and Noble.

Overdue!

This recent job I did for Scholastic News regards a library book titled The Law of Nations recently found at George Washington's house that was never returned. Imagine the accumulated overdue fee! Apparently another book was returned in by mistake. The father of our country's honesty remains intact. Above are the initial rough, final sketch, and completed illustration. Click to enlarge.

Scott Pilgrim

I saw Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World this weekend which I thoroughly enjoyed. At the coffee shop today I did a sketch of Michael Cera as the title character.

From the Archives

From a job I did for Richmond Magazine a few years ago. It was for an article about Valentines Day.

Visual Commentary

Steve Jobs goes retro for his latest iPhone design.

From the Archives

Recently while I was going through my back-up files I decided to start a new feature for the blog. "From the Archives" will be a periodic "look back" at old jobs waiting to be rescued from the island of forgotten works.

Starting off is a job I did for Charlotte magazine a few years ago. As I recall these spots were for an article about where to go in Charlotte to get various types of repair work done. Click image to enlarge.
