Well it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted. That’s going to change this year. Life’s been busy, but it’s time to get some content rolling out. I possibly may even work on a new design layout for the blog. We’ll see how things go.
Other than that, this is the brand new artwork for the second series of the year at Faith Family Church called, “Inspire.” Definitely a minimalistic, modern style, but I kinda’ dig that. I threw the art in After Effects as well and made the 30 second television spot that airs locally.
Anyways, feel free to check out the art/spot. If you click on the smaller image, it’ll open an even larger version in a lightbox. (Read on…)
This past Saturday I was inspired to piece together a Comp Magazine Ad. I spent the majority of the day working on it off and on. I’m particularly a fan of pin striped suits, so I decided to run with the male subject photo that I found on SXC. I ended up choosing Armani as the fictional client out of pure randomness after glancing at a bottle of my cologne.
I had been wanting to give the abstract style a try and this is the result. I’m not a big fan of the designs that get too busy, so I developed my elements and determined the placement based on focal points of the main subject. For example, his downcast eyes determined my placement of the logo and shining sun/star to create the illusion that he is “gazing” at those elements. (Read on…)
It’s been a while since I was told about this link, but I definitely find it worth mentioning. This more or less serves as an example of why you should get your facts and reporting correct before throwing statements out there. (Read on…)
While browsing around on Scott Hansen’s ISO50, I stumbled upon an article discussing an out of print book that compiled a large list of logos that were used in the mid-70s that was discovered by Eric Carl. Eric, who did not create this book, noticed that the book was open domain. He then resorted to uploading every scanned page of the book onto his Flickr. If you really like these graphics, he also has them up for download in one ZIP file at his blog in this article. Make sure to check it out. There’s some great stuff in there! Check out some of these stills from his Flickr. These are just a few of the many pages of inspiration that illustrate some awesome, retro logos. (Read on…)

New artwork and motion art! This one was actually designed for my Church’s Easter Illustrated Sermon entitled, “Power Of One.” There are quite a few symbols in the piece. I tried to really put some deep thought and detail into this one. I love when artwork communicates a certain point but isn’t as revealing or straightforward. I enjoy a bit of mystery. The personal challenge was to develop a unique piece that communicated the emotion of the crucifixion without getting “Christianese.”
If you’ll notice in the motion piece, there is a slight variation in the artwork. I can’t make every call at work! But I can post what I want to post here! There’s only love though!
