Brandon and Cat's Wedding


A photo I doctored up in photoshop to look like a late 1800's post card.

Commission Oil Painting


It was sure nice to take a break the norm of digital art and really get my hands dirty. I felt like I was in school again. I really missed Control Z!! It was fun though!

Robot Fight!


The Terminator Vs. Johnny 5. Who could of scripted it better! I've been working on this piece in my personal time over the past months. The idea sprouted from a screen print I did at Art Center in 2005 and thought it is due time to make it come to life.

My humorous attitude is conveyed in this illustration of Johnny 5 fighting the Terminator with Robo-cop as the ref. The background is packed with other famous robots such as C3p0, bender, I-Robot, Murbot, Spaceballs robots, transformers, and much more oh my!

I chuckled when I saw the preview for the movie "Real Steel". They must of been looking over my shoulder or something. I can't hate though, I'll just take it as complement of good taste.




Here are the steps I took to complete this. All done in Photoshop, no 3D

3 Stooges


Old school black and white charcoal drawing I did as a self portrait. Theme word that best describes me "Mischievous".

A package design I did for an up coming product that should hit the shelves at the end of this year before the rainy season. I created the logo and header card.

DJ Logo



I've been working on quite a few logos these days. People always think because most of the logos they see are so simple that they take no time to create. Well, the old saying "less is more" is actually true in logo making. In fact logos take quite a bit of time to design because a lot goes into them the naked eye does not see.
A logo has to be easily readable from far distances, whether your driving 70 MPH past a Mercedes Benz emblem or it's a scaled down version on the back of a business card. They have to be simple in order for people to associate and recognize the brand in split second intervals.
This logo I created is for DJ Donovan. He is coming out with his own clothing line and I was asked to design his logo which is called Donovan Patrick (DP).
I first start out by sketching rough thumbnails by hand then take them into photoshop to refine my ideas. After showing them to the client we make a decision to move forward on one of them. I create the final image in Illustrator where I can give the client variations of the logo such as color and line weight.
