Thought I would throw my hat in the ring over at threadless.com again, never had any luck but the money would sure be nice.

Here is a larger view, it hasn't been accepted yet but if it is, it sure would be nice to get some good votes.

Save Green

2011-02-03T18:50:00.001-06:00

This was part of an older project from college, we had to design a fictitious design conference with all of the advertising to go along. I liked the mark at the time but after "completion" it just felt like it was missing something. I recently went back and tweaked it to help get some of those finishing touches it was missing..

B&B Petroleum

2011-02-02T21:13:00.000-06:00

Here is a recently finished logo for a company in Western Nebraska, they specialize in repairing gas pumps. They desired an easily identifiable and recognizable mark that was clean and to the point. This was the final product and has since been implemented on vehicles as well as business cards and other promotional items.

John's Adventures

2011-01-31T20:52:00.001-06:00

This is a little project I do for my dad, we are hunters, I have hunted since I was a little boy and a few years back I sketched up a quick 3 panel story in an effort to give my dad a chuckle. It must have worked since I am constantly getting request from him to retell our little adventures. There are somewhere around 30+ as well as a 30 page book that I made for him. I just thought I would share some of it with you. Keep in mind I normally spend no more than 2 hours on these, from start to finish and they are all actual events, some may have a little twist but they happened. The book was done in one marathon day as well, not an easy task. The book is over a year old but I never bothered to share it, but I felt like it was time.

Kappa Delta Pi Poster

2011-01-31T19:49:00.000-06:00

Wedding Posters

2010-03-16T20:51:00.003-05:00

Here are the finished posters for my upcoming wedding, we are having it in the local movie theater where I worked and we had our first date. It was opened in 1938 so we are having a 1930 movie themed wedding. This includes replacing all the posters in the lobby and outside with our "movie" poster. Had a lot of fun, watercolor and tried to hit the style of the time while maintaining a soft touch like my lady wanted.
