Illustration - Self Portrait

I made this image a couple years ago when school and project deadlines were starting to get to me, It seemed appropriate to post it here again at this time. I have a few more with a similar flavour. I will post them unless I can create something new. Cheers

If You Like to Draw

I found this link on deviantart, it was a tonne of fun, could be because I was over tired or that I miss skiing. Check it out and draw.

Design - Illustration - Dead Birds _ Bad Font

A long time ago I was asked to design a collection of stamps with birds as a theme, by the end of the project I was getting a bit tired of birds - the little feathered friends ended up as dead feathered friends - the collection looked something like this, it was good fun and was one of my first attempts at using illustrator....I am getting better with age....slowly

Design - Simple Design

I am sharing a cover design before its fully completed, feedback is welcome. I am posting it mainly to share my new favorite font. This is Prensa, an instructor at ECIAD introduced me. I have read up on Prensa and the designer Cyrus Highsmith; it is a font that is believed to stand the test of time. It's not a nose in the air type font but has the presence to get the same job done. MensHealth, Martha Stewart Living, and newspapers from El Universal in Mexico to La Prensa Gráfica in El Salvador have used it and Prensa won the citation of excellence from the international type competition, Bukva:Raz!. Anyways in an effort to get to know some fonts-well I have been looking to get to know Prensa.

Design and IIlustration - Erick Arthur Blair

A project I have been working on—keeping in tune with my interest in illustration, is a story that tells the reader a bit or a lot about George Orwell epending on the readers knowledge of Blair prior. It tells of his love of writing, his political passions and fears, it touches on his personal life and is filled with imagery from 1984 and Animal Farm. It has been a challenging and educational. I will eventually post a few spreads but I am looking at the typographical elements being worked out further before I show you more......here are few illustrations the are worked into the so called kids book for an older audience. Let me know what you think.
