Here it is. The first ever “Sketchbook Saturday” post. The “SS” will be a place for silly things that I wouldn’t want to put in my proper portfolio, but are worthy of the internet nonetheless. I encourage all of my fellow artists out there to participate in “SS” with me. It’s a great way to loosen up and do something stupid.

Here’s Wolvie picking his nose. Click the image to enlarge. Enjoy!

Baltimore Sports Classics

Posted in: Graphic Design, Illustration, Latest News and Art |

So I had the pleasure of being assigned the task to create an ad for the Baltimore Sun newspaper promoting the holiday re-airing of some local Bmore sports classics. Cal Ripken’s Ironman game (2131), the BALTIMORE Colts’ championship games in 1958 & 1959, and some Preakness highlights.

I created a series of 3 images and collaged them together for the ad. I did these entirely in Illustrator. Considering the hard deadline I was on, I think they turned out really well. The ads will run in the 12/23, 12/24, and 12/25 editions of the Sun. Be sure to check them out in the Sports section. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek. Click the images to enlarge.

Illustration Friday: Little Things

Posted in: Illustration Friday |

Me and my friend Cindy have decided to try and sharpen our skills by playing along with the Illustration Friday gang. Each week the Illo Friday guys give you a topic, and you illustrate it. No rules, just go with it. This week’s topic was “Little Things”. Here’s my take…

I did this entirely in Adobe Fireworks, a highly underrated program, using primarily the vector path tool, and the paintbrush for fill-ins. I hope you like it.
