paper company logo

This is my paper company logo so far. I'm not sure if I'm totally happy with the type, but I'm pleased with the organic quality of the illustration. It creates a "G" and is also embryonic. It represents new ideas and growth. The seed also resembles a hemp seed which is a material the company uses extensively for a lot of their paper.

evil forest

This is one of my later paintings. It's about 2 years old. I was experimenting with colorito. There are no absolute whites or blacks in this painting. It makes it quite vivid in person. I'm sure something is lost on the screen.

windmill

This painting kind of resembles a velvet canvas. I spent a lot of time on the windmill and researched it a bit. It's actually located in Europe some-where. It's been awhile.

Cthulu book

This is the book-cover for the painting. Compare it to the Philip K. Dick cover I did. With this cover, I went with what I took as a "conventional" book-cover. With the other, I based my design off of a grid and thought beyond a book-cover and more into the design element.

Cthulu

This is a painting of the Lovecraftian horror Cthulu. I used it for my first book-cover. The book cover wasn't so great, but I like the painting.

tempest

This is an old painting of mine. Almost 8 years old. There are hidden meanings in it, although looking back, I wasn't as clever as I thought I was.

axe

This is an old painting of mine. At an art show I threw, I heard some scummy punk rock dude tell his girlfriend, "that's exactly what it feels like to shoot crystal-meth." Wow. I wandered around my own art show without telling anyone who I was. It helps.

27th Letter

This is another project from typography. Using rune symbols we had to create a 27th letter for the alphabet. The letter form had to work with the Georgia typeface.

Brewhouse V.I.P.

This actually isn't from a class in school. This is the front of the V.I.P. pass a designed for the Brewhouse last summer. It was for easy access for regular customers to the bar during the 2006 World Cup. Unfortunately it was not really used. But fifty were printed out and laminated.

Edgar Allan Poe

This is a poster design I did for a puppet show. It is actually currently showing right now.

Phillip K. Dick

This is a book cover design I created for a collection of short stories by Phillip K. Dick. The person being digitized is myself.

Your Community Forum

This is from typography class. It's a flyer based off a grid.

AT&T

Ah yes, good old AT&T. I kind of like their new 3-D approach, but the lines continuing around in the back of the sphere can be a little confusing. From a little way off it looks like someone didn't color it in properly.

BOSS

This is yet another electrical instrument devise company. They mainly produce effects for other instruments. The letters are futuristic and bold, but I find the overall effect a little plain and boring.

Lego

Everyone loves Legos. I believe Lego means "Fun" in Dutch? I'm not sure, I could check... Anyways, the logo looks fun. It consists of bright primary colors and friendly rounded letters. Yay.

Fender

Another music brand, the Fender logo resembles a signature. It implies human craftmanship and pride.

MOOG

This is a great logo. Moog is a synthesiser company and I really like how they took the "M" and made it resemble a sound wave. The type treatment is both bold and futuristic.

The Snake

This is a painting of mine that hangs in front of my computer at home.
