A variety of  recent sketches, photos, graphics, and ideas

New Logo Design

Thinking about what might be a good brand look for my Studio, I have integrated a stylized  fun font, a panicked  graphics guy on a background that looks orderly and traditional but has an element of  off-kiltered balance. Good for these times and my overall creative pursuits.

Invitation To An Art Show

I will be exhibiting at CEDAR BEANS COFFEE JOINT in February. The coffee cups explain.

Turkey Day at Gillespie

The family came over and we hosted 25 for the Holiday. Needed a graphic to announce all of the details, and keep the endless (from the large family ) text chain interesting.

The Posca Project

Trying out the bold lines from Posca paint markers on large  sheets of drawing paper.

Happy B-Day!

Taking a few very funny drawings from letters my sister sent  to me awhile back, I cleaned them up and animated them in some new Adobe tools. 

The Effects of Television

I recently found some old 16mm film cans in a closet and had them digitized. This one was a cell animation done in 1977. I cleaned it up and added titles and audio.

Dream 1977

More recently digitized 16mm film from my art school days at Pratt. Drawing  with a needle right on the film itself to come up with the titles, and using surrealist imagery, I attempted to tell a story. But the images themselves are probably the most successful. The Bolex camera used to shoot this was a beautiful piece of equipment. Sturdy in the feel in your hand, precise in what it asked of you to learn the art of filmmaking.
