The latest in high-tech hunting trail cams from PRIMOS demanded a high-end look, and that's what this set of box designs aim to deliver. They've got the box design equivelant of scattered, smothered, and covered...embossing, foil, and and varnishes.

A new little experiment in illustration, I was playing around with trying to get a real children's book illustration feel within Adobe Illustrator. But I frankly ran out of patience on the texture work. I'll have this bird flying for real in no time though. Until then, ponder the horrors of nature in this visage.

You see, years ago, I did nothing but draw, and then in college, I did even more of it. But somewhere along the way I started getting way too heavy into Adobe products and neglected my drawing. Well, I figured I'd give it a go again. Not that it is the least bit trendy.

This is my cover design for Adam Perry's new novel, Boxing Gorillas to be released on Sept 30th. Boxing Gorillas is pulp-ish book filled with memorable characters, cars, women, and action...not to mention some laughs along the way...all set against the beautiful Alabama coast.

What you have here is a series of bottle designs for Sqwincher sports drink. I art directed Mad Genius associate art director Daniel Green as he provided original bottle concepts and designs, which I fleshed out and produced. Not to mention that I also provided the illustrations for 4 of the 6 flavors, with Jason "Twiggy" Lott rounding out the effort with illustrations for "Off-Road Orange" and "Backflip Berry." A team effort, all in all, that I'm happy to have been a part of.

We couldn't control the bottle choice, so we got all fancy with printing on metallic substrate, with white under-print on select elements, which really makes the stuff we wanted to pop off do just that.

This is an illustration I created to accompany a story about the late Mr. Reatard. Werd.
