Hasbro: The Littlest Pet Shop Paper Goods


Found that the paper goods (cookie tray/cook book/invitation) I did for The Littlest Pet Shop: Push and Play Series made it out on the shelves! The final colors are a little different, but at the time I created these the color scheme was not planned out! Just wanted to share some process work that I did for this project. :)

Smaller Company Projects


So here are a few logo designs I did for some local companies. One was for SKEWETT Inc.,a mulitmedia and recording studio company, and was a sub-section logo for their fans called SKEWETT Nation. They really wanted a logo that had a "3d" visual look to it. On the left are a bunch of the illustrator sketches that I did which eventually led me to the final logo on the right.

The second logo was done for a realtor company called The Real Law Group. The customer was looking for a logo to give an adequate visual for her company since it was constantly confused with being an attorneys firm. You can see I did a variety of illustrator sketches to give her visual suggestions of different directions her logo could go, but in the end, she just wanted the simple logo in the bottom right.

Bioshock Infinite


So...geez I don't even want to talk about this piece...This was GOING to be for the IGN Bioshock Infinite contest...and I misread the due date (I worked a whole extra day on it past the actual due date) but then on top of that I still was no where near finshed...So mad because it was starting to look halfway decent too. Don't know if I'll ever finish it so it may just be a sketch for the rest of its existence.

Anyway, this is Booker and Elizabeth vector style. What looms over them? The world may never know.

Nationwide Insurance Deliverables



Woah. Updates 2 days in a row? Astounding. I just wanted to share some of the deliverables I have made since starting at Nationwide Insurance! I'm not going to go into detail about everything and I've made sure that there are no classified Nationwide details here to get me in trouble! :)

The "Tree of Knowledge" is a IT Competency Model to give associates a better understanding of classes they need to take to become better equipped in their roles.

The Teaching Thursdays board has a sample of the many different Marketing tactics I did for these peer driven classes I helped maintain. I helped shape the logo,learning materials, monitor advertisements,etc.

And the TechCon board is from Nationwide IT "TechCon 2013" which is a sort of learning convention. I was on the wonderful committee that set up the ran the convention at the Hyatt this past February. I help create information booklets, digital presentation templates, icons, banners, etc. I did not create the logo (I did add the vine though), but my idea for the logo can be seen in the upper left hand corner.

Hasbro Littlest Pet Shop



So I haven't posted anything I've done in the past year...at all...FAIL. Just wanted to post a little update with some of the toy concept work I've done for Hasbro! Both series hit toy shelves everywhere in Jan-Feb 2013. I've been fortunate enough to get a hold of some of these toys myself!

Vector art is such a slow process...and I'm a slow artist.So this probably isn't a good thing for me! Oh well, closing on only a handful of days until Mid Ohio Con so I'm working as it!
I always wanted to do a Nightcrawler piece...and have smoke-LOTS OF PURPLE SMOKE.YES.

Bonsoir



Wow so I haven't posted here in FOREVER. Dang. Well I mean all the stuff I've made in the past 3-4 months has been for Hasbro and therefore-a secret!
So this is for Mid-Ohio Con and I decided to I wanted to vectorize the cajun to begin with! Apparently a lot of people love Gambit out of all the X-Men. Hey-I can't complain! I had a lot of fun and problem solving/challenge in getting this "done".
Tell me what ya'll think!

A Portrait of Death



Yes...I need to work on my painting techniques...I'm so out of practice. This was my portrait concept for the word "death". I looked into different cultures' symbols for death and animal symbolism as well. It's about 11"x14" and on wood. It looks better in person honestly.
