The Quaker Redrawn

November 29, 2011

Logo Illustration

Working with a talented agency in Seattle, i created some new 1 and 2 color interpretations of ‘the Quaker’ for Quaker Oats. Not sure this one will see the light of day, but a very interesting excercise in the subtleties of branding. Getting to work on an iconic piece of advertising history was a coup for me.

September 8, 2011

Editorial Portrait

Popular Science DIY guru Vin Marshall.

From an execution standpoint i am liking the warm tones achieved in his face and the gestural lines of the clothing. I always try to push my boundaries with projects like this, and it always yields something interesting.

1941 Packard

June 30, 2011

Illustration 

I made this piece damn near 10 years ago. Crazy to think it’s been that long. Saw this car in a parking lot on the west side of town while scouting for a photoshoot with Sullivan. He had his camera on him (of course) and snapped a few shots for me. The photoshoot never panned out, but i did get started on this piece soon after.

Flavors of Phoenix

June 22, 2011

Poster & Collateral Design

Have i really been doing the poster and invite for the past 8 years? yup, and i have enjoyed every year.

On this 20th anniversary my aim was to create a refined and rich look, employing custom typography and illustration using limited, but BOLD color. The background pattern and table setting were my favorite elements. O’Neil printing did a bang-up job with a rich double-hit black and spot varnishes.
