Welcome to my portfolio website. It is my desire to honestly present the true version of myself. Bright colors, fun characters, and whatever stokes the creative fire from within is my goal.
Something to believe in, that is what motivates me most consistently. Give me something to believe in, and I can imagine, how to help you accomplish the things you find important. There is always a new perspective to learn, and some kind of solution.
Courseware Illustrations
A few panels from my time in courseware.
Digital Art
Transitioning many of my compositions into digital artwork. They are not exactly the same, but close, and fun to do. Bright colors, stars, flowers, a personal avatar and some quirky characters who happen to be of the Steam Punk variety are often subject matter.
Paintings & Such
Oil and acrylic paintings.
Snapshots
Cell phone photography is part of my daily life. Given that the cell phone goes with me, I always have a camera. It is always a challenge to get a good shot of a black cat. Sometimes snapshots can be used to get a design started for other things. We live close to the Gulf of Mexico and I like paddle boarding and sometimes I go take snapshots of people and waterbirds fishing on the local pier.
Branding
Adobe Illustrator challenges from the Adobe Behance website can help keep software techniques up-to-date. Creating a brand for my own business and the businesses of friends is also a refreshing exercise in keeping involved with trends in graphic design.
Posters
Volunteer work and large format printing for a customer. Using the given elements and recreating something new. Maintaining the look and feel of the customer brand and the event for which the poster was created.
Shirt Designs
Designs for shirts are fun to create, most of these were for different years in a local youth group in which I also facilitated with the youth and the church choir.
Jewlery
Leather chord jewelry. I love gemstones, shells, sea life, and flowers.
