Horse Racing

I have always been interested in horse racing. I have been toying with the idea of doing a series of horse racing images. Hmmmm..... maybe.

Robert F. Kennedy

"I think we can end the divisions within the United States. What I think is quite clear that we can work together in the last analysis. And that what has been going on with the United States over the period of the last three years, the divisions, the violence, the disenchantment with our society, the divisions- whether it's between blacks and whites, between the poor and the more affluent, or between age groups, or in the war in Vietnam- that we can work together. We are a great country, an unselfish country and a compasionate country. And I intend to make that my basis for running."
-Robert F. Kennedy
June 4, 1968

WORK IN PROGRSS end of day 1

I saw that Brian Baumgartner (Kevin from "The Office") is a big fan of art, especially fan art. So I decided to do a quick portrait of him. This is the sketch to that portrait. He has this deal with fan that if you send him an autographed picture he will send one back. So I am going to send him an autographed copy of this portrait and see what kind of a response I get to my work. I am a GENIUS!

VISA "Breakthrough" campaign

I did these drawing for a company called Arc Worldwide in San Francisco. They had a project that needed a sketch/layout artist and they gave the job to me. VISA was doing a new campaign for small business credit cards called "Breakthrough". I was told that I was to draw two scenarios. They had chosen a female chef and a male contractor. I was told what type of scenes they wanted for each scenario. An example would be contractor at his desk, a chef cooking, etc. The description was very open. I was not given any reference and was asked to do these quickly. The art director loved the sketches. He especially loved the detail and attention put into the backgrounds.
The drawings were then shown to VISA and they loved them as well. I was offered the job of flushing out more scenarios but I had to decline. I accepted a full time job as Head of Marketing at Fireclay Tile.

Turkey!

This is a pen & ink drawing that I was commissioned to do for an avid turkey hunting club.

Tub's Club Logo

This is a logo that I designed for a start-up company that was kind of like a Jenny Craig type of place. I made the logo in about 30 different colors so that the could merchandise it any way that they wanted. They were very pleased.
