Apple Pie?

So I recieved a job to do a promotional flyer for the Dixie Center of Perfoming Arts in Ruston, La.  They wanted to promote a band that was coming to play called the Russ Town Band. They requested a sign that was not overtly American, but had that kind of an American folksy vibe with a country feel. This is what I came up with and thankfully they really liked it.

The Watermelon Boy

This is an add for the Saline Watermelon Festival. They wanted a banner they could use year after year.

Nostalgia at its Finest

So about a year ago I got this wild hair to return to the great times of my youth and relive my childhood a little.  I really dug the psycotripic cartoons of the eighties. They were... well lets face it completely out there. One of the most epic examples an eighties franchise was Thundarr the Barbarian... your average story of Barbarian on a post apocalyptic world with a split moon that fights mutants and android alien wizards from the void with is riding buddies the sorceress princess Ariel and an cat alien thing called Ookla the Mok. Yea super weird but supper awesome. I loved the show so much I wanted to recreate the characters in a more modern animated style.

Ookla the Mok. I like the way he came out I redrew his design a couple of times to get the face proportions right. In my version he kind of has like and Egyptian feel witch i think is cool cause he is supposed to be like some cat hybrid kinda creature... i think.... i like him in the old cartoon cause he was funny and innocent but basically just tore stuff apart .

This is Princess Ariel, and she rode around with Thundarr and pretty much saved his can every time he ran head strong into a fight. She is a hell of a sorceress and I have got a thing for strong independent women... yes I sang the song in my head as I spelled that. 
This is the big man himself Thundarr. He is a barbarian... kinda dumb but super good with a a flaming weapon he called the sun sword.  These redesigns were a lot of fun to do and it is my dream someone with more influence and power than me will come across this show again and think... man that needs a reboot. It would be sick to have more modern depiction of this awesomely trippy t.v. series.

The BullDog Chariot

The C.A.B. orginization asked me to design the signage that was to go on the wagon that the official mascot for Louisiana Tech rides around in during games and parades and things like that. This was a whole lot of fun and I got to streach my photomantage muscles a little.

Extreme MotowoRx

Here are a couple different logos for a four wheeler company in West Monroe that specializes in racing four wheelers. The gentleman wanted a lettermark incorporating E.X.M in an interlocking fashion. He uses words like edgy but clean and new, with oranges and blacks as his preferred colors.

Get Your Paws Off of Me?


This is a pen and ink illustration done when I was super bored at work. I have been on an octopus kick lately. I like the line work in this as well as this captured girls expression.
