I designed this business card for my friend Laurie Burns’ pottery business, Lemonbee Pottery. Below are a couple of the designs that didn’t make the cut.

I just completed an illustration project for my friends at Fizzy Media. They hired me to create illustrated versions of the two founding partners, Paul and Taylor. These will be used on their Bio page and may show up in other parts of the website and print marketing materials. If your company is looking for a creative and talented team to help you build a solid web presence, these are your guys.

My old comic “Generation Gap” has been published in another textbook. Just from posting the comic on this blog a few years ago I’ve been approached with requests for the rights to the comic by textbook publishers in four countries: France, Taiwan, Germany and now the good old USA. This time in a book titled “The Communication Advantage” by Kathleen D. Pagana, PhD, RN. It’s fun to see how the image is used to illustrate different points. And this one I can actually read without a translator. Kathleen is a respected and accomplished author and educator, so I am honored that she wanted my work in her book.
I also get the occasional college professor that requests the rights to put the image in a PowerPoint Presentation or course site. I just wonder how many people out there just do it without asking, probably quite a few. As long as they credit me and don’t make money off it, that’s fine with me.

I signed a contract with San Min Book Co. to have my comic titled, ‘Generation Gap’ publish in a Taiwan textbook called ‘Consumers’ Behavior’. This is the second time this image has been published in a textbook, the last time in France. Apparently this illustration translates across all cultures. Funny thing is I didn’t approach any publishers. They both found the image posted on the web and contacted me about purchasing the rights.

Here’s a recent illustration I did that will be used to help a campaign to get college faculty to throw out their old student records.

This is something I whipped up for a poster design. It’s for a Boston College ATIG recognition luncheon and workshop. The organization encourages faculty to incorporate cutting edge technologies in their teaching.

These rough sketches are ideas I was sketching out for a university student computer services t-shirt design. The project was tabled before I got too far with it. But I thought I’d share these drawings anyway. I’m certainly due for a post here.

Also Drinking and Drawing – Boston II is coming up this Wednesday, June 18th. If you’re in the Boston area I suggest you check it out. I’ll have a full update here afterwards.

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

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.

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.
