(GD) Woman in Black poster design

I'll soon be appearing in a play called, "The Woman in Black", a good old-fashioned ghost story produced by Second Wind Productions here in San Francisco. I designed this poster idea without knowing they were WAY ahead of me. Now it's the Photoshop equivalent of a doodle. I still think it looks kind of cool.

(GD) In-Store Signage Design

Mission Bicycle Company in San Francisco's Mission District just added a whole bunch of merchandise, and I was commissioned to design some signs for the new products. Now I've got some store credit to spend- woop woop!

(OPP) 1001 Journals Project

I was asked to create some pages in a journal that's traveling the world as part of the 1001 Journals Project. I didn't scan my pages, but there is some amazing work on display at the site. Check out journal 3118. The picture included here is just one of the incredible pages created by my buddy Jefferson, and I was honored to have been asked to participate.

(GD) Business Card Design (Stars)

Here's a recent bizcard design for a client whose only specification was that he wanted "five stars in a spiral" somewhere on the card. I decided to draw the stars, making them rougher, messier and more playful than shapes created on Illustrator; the stars get smaller and darker as they "recede" in their spiral. The flip side is simple, clean and professional. (The card's like a mullet- business in the front, party in the back.) These are my only proposals for this project, as he liked them right away- niiiiiice!

(I) B is for Baby- S

A commissioned design for a baby I don't even know! That baby's gonna be stoked!!

(OPP) Imatoy- Be A Superhero!

My friend Tobias will make you into a superhero. What's cooler than that?? Seriously...Check out his site: www.imatoy.com

(I) Bees

A friend commissioned me to make a logo around the phrase "BB21", a personal code between her and her husband. I chose to draw the B's as actual honeybees in the couple's likenesses.

Sidenote: A friend asked me why I dislike drawing pupils and irises. I honestly have no idea. I do draw pupils in certain situations, but I guess with animals it's different. Not including them here gives the couple an animal-esque feel without taking them too far away from their actual human likenesses.

(GD) Business Card Design

Dr. Alexis Kuerbis is a good friend of mine living and working in New York City. Above are some proposals for a business card for her private counseling service, followed by her choice for the front and back side of the card. Alexis studies Buddhism, so I chose bold colors from the Tibetan palette. The fish are a sign of harmony, one of the Eight Auspicious Signs of Buddhism; since Dr. Kuerbis is from Southern California, I chose to make the fish Garibaldi, the bright orange natives of those waters.

(I) B is for Baby- E/W

Two more friends recently had a baby boy, whom I had the pleasure of meeting several weeks ago. A new baby means new baby clothes, so here are the latest B is for Baby designs. I'd like to thank whoever asked if I was creating designs for the initials of the baby...I didn't even think of that. And now it's ALL I think about.
