Caged for Illustration Friday

This one came to me while I was trying to create an extremely precise grid in Corel. After all that work, I discovered that gridlines won't print. So I repeated the procedure with the guidelines that will print. Illustrator won't print either by-the-way. Score one for the little guy.

anti-artificial, the real family portrait

Funny that this week's Illustration Friday topic is artificial. I've been working on this color pencil sketch of the family as a "real" family portrait of the summer 2010.

Technical Illustrations

Bird's eye view of the inside of the hull of several different models of a clients boats.

Bridal Ads

Save the date, what a fun, flirty design.

Cynthia Howell's quarter page ad was also a fun, flirty design.

A concept ad for group advertisement/listings.

One of my favorite ads that I created for I Do. All the invitations were scanned from product, color corrected and cleaned. The montage was created in Photoshop.

I love the simplicity and femininity of this ad. They supplied the image of the model and the background flower is a stock image.

example of chart building and layout

If you can log onto issue, you'll see an example of the newsletters that I'm working on these days. http://issuu.com/zenrecords/docs/1002ewff/2. I did all the charts for this particular publication. In particular note the charts on page 6 and 7 for complexity.

World Currency

These two charts were created for the currency special section in the February 2010 newsletter. They represented a challenge to fit 6 indexes in each 4" x 7.25" area. The end product was interesting and very clean, and as you can see, currency crises do not consistently lead to stock market declines.
