Here’s an illustration I created for part of a campaign letting college faculty know about the eSylabus web repository coming out this Fall.

Much like the one posted below, here’s the illustration I did for the Saint Patrick’s Day email going out to BC faculty.  

Here’s an illustration I whipped up this week for use in an html email going out to BC faculty reminding them about the CMS change next semester. There will be more of these holiday themed comics.  Next up; one for St. Patrick’s Day.

Here is an illustration I’m working on for a poster design mockup. It’s for the Boston

Here’s my entry for this weeks Illustration Friday topic, Excess. My 2 year old daughter was inspiration for this one. She’s an overflowing source of inspiration these days so why not take advantage. Now these aren’t things you’d think one could OD on, but leave it to Allie, she sure tries to. It’s a common thing these days to hear her ask things like “Draw Daddy, draw. please. Daddy, draw” or ” More milk please, daddee melk pleess”. With that said; as you might imagine I am proud of her for wanting to overdue it on these things. I still can’t believe how much she loves broccoli. Although we do have to be extra careful hiding the crayons cuz she likes to draw wherever and whenever she can. Thank you Crayola for coming up with the washable crayon!

Here’s the graphic for the front of a holiday card I’m sending out to family and friends this year.  The three people with goofy grins on their faces happen to be me, my wife and our two year old daughter.  

Here is my crank at this weeks Sugar Frosted Goodness challenge: Flight. It was an opportunity to continue my experimentation with different tools/ techniques. Been itching to break away from the straight vector stuff. This one was drawn completely in Photoshop.

Here’s the first mockup of a (24″ x 39.5″) poster design I am working on for the 2008 Teaching with New Media Awards nominations.

Here’s some Patriots sketches I whipped up for a prospective client.

Yes, my new website has finally arrived. I started out trying to build it in Drupal thinking it would allow me to do more with it and create an easy to manage site. But after hours of time and getting really deep into I realized it wasn’t going to make anything easier and it’s not necessary for what I was doing. So I bailed on that and just put it together the quick and dirty way with basic html & css. It’s still a work in process and could use some beefing up, but at least it’s up. Now I can shift my attention back on the work itself and finally start posting some new drawings.
 

Here’s an illustration I whipped up for my 22 month old daughter. She’s really into giraffes these days and now that she’s talking we like to play a game where she calls out something  and I draw it. Or sometimes I draw it and she tells me what it is. In most cases it involves a magnadoodle or a sketch pad and crayons (that way she can add to the drawings too). This one is much more polished than that and is something she can hang on her wall.

The custom illustrated professor icons project is complete. There is a series of 14 images representing each week of the semester. Each professor starts off cheery and energized and ends up worn out and eventually passed out by the end. This is for use on a BC Graduate School of Social Work online instructors repository/ course management site. The samples above are images from the start of the series and the end. Didn’t want to fill the page with all of them, but you get the idea. The style of character is intended to represent old faculty from decades ago, keeping with the theme of imagery on the rest of the site.  

I’ve been behind on coming up with new material to post to the blog lately, too much work on my plate. One big project I’ve got in the works is redesigning and building my website in Drupal. I’ll have a post with a preview soon.

This weeks Illustration Friday word was easy. There is only one thing I think of now a days when I hear the word moon. That’s my 21 month old daughter chanting moon! moon!; requesting a read of Goodnight Moon before she goes to bed each night.   

Here’s my initial sketches for some custom icon designs I’m doing for the BC School of Social Work. It’s for a repository site that professors will use. The final sets will show the different professors in a variety of poses and expressions with each representing a different week in the semester. They will start out cheery and end up passed out on the podium by the final week.
