A clipart series I designed for the Alaska State Legislature’s End of Session Press packet in 2004. The individual pieces were assigned to the pages of topics such as veteran’s benefits, fighting crime, education, resource development, government reform, etc.
The contreversial logo design for my funk/jazz band I played bass guitar for from 2004-2006, called “Satan’s Taint.” Yes, we had a lot of fun with the name. People didn’t know what to think. Most thought we were some heavy hard rock band and would come see us funk out or play Dave Brubeck. For the summer of 2005 we played at the Alaskan Bar every Tuesday for “Taint Tuesdays”. The T-Shirts were very popular and I still have some available at satanstaint.com.
“False Feeling of Freedom” was the title of the only album produced from the band Contra Public, which I played bass guitar for from 2001-2004. This was the CD cover and booklet design I put together for the album. The design is a little retro by today’s standards with only using basic Photoshop filter effects. You can read more about the band at at the Rock Alaska Records site, and you can still buy the CD at CD Baby.
One of my first photo “enhancements” in 2000 using some 3D elements, 6 different photos, including the bear taken while in Denali, with some lighting and brush effects in Photoshop 4.6 (before the History panel).
There was a time when pen & paper were used to do illustration by hand. Here are a few pages from my senior college report on illustration techniques using perspective, shadows & reflection.
Chris Cornell portrait. One of the greatest voices in Rock & Roll. This was drawn during the late Soundgarden years when he still rocked.
“Out To Lunch” - The college newspaper comic strip I drew with my roommate Noah Walden, who wrote the strips, circa 1990-1996. Shown are 6 of nearly 50 strips that were published at Western Washington University, including the “final strip”.
“Bladeships” - A 4’x3’ Sci-Fi illustration I did in the mid-90s which is now framed and hangs in my son’s room.
A precursor to the OTL days. An early comic strip idea from the early 90s. Thick & Crunchy.
