Gov't Mule, "Revolution Come, Revolution Go". This is the vinyl package. An animated version can be seen in the MOTION section of this sight.

It was sort of an accident to put the camera below, but I immediately liked the look of it like that.

This was created for an article in the Wall Street Journal about the relationship between corporate leadership and performance (and which one comes first). I'm honored to report that this piece was selected to be in the upcoming American Illustration Annual.

I was thrilled to get a call from the creative director (David Sleight) at ProPublica, a highly respected, heavy hitting news publication. He had a project about how IBM has been using some unpopular tactics to get an aging workforce to retire early. David’s initial request was for me to make 3D models of vintage IBM equipment. After talking about the project, it transpired into combining the old equipment with concepts that had to do with “cutting”. We had a lot of fun coming up with various ways to get the ideas across.

This was a graphic and type solution for Film Fest Tucson. It was used on all the festival branding, including an opening animation for each film.

With the School of Visual Arts “ART IS!” series, the artist is asked to interpret what “art is!” means to them. To me, art can include play and exploration, which was the basis for the series.

I’m honored to be on the list of artists who have created these posters over the years.

Cover and interior art for The Peace Corps magazine WorldView.

This was created for an article in the Wall Street Journal about the relationship between corporate leadership, performance and teamwork. In the end, we went in a different direction so this was unpublished.

This is how it all starts... pencil on paper. Here is a very random sampling of sketches. If you've worked with me before, some of these may look familiar. When we work together, you will become part of this process, as I always look at these ventures as collaborations. How is that for a pitch to go ahead and bring me on board?
