Ideas-in-progress
Animals for Amanda, naturally.
I hear Gabby is quick in the water. This one was inspired by paper quilling.
Sarah is obviously a princess.
Every Luke deserves a robot.
What kid doesn’t want a sign that says “this is my room”, right? I thought it would be fun to do some name illustrations for my nieces and nephew. These were drawn with ink on paper before being scanned and colored in Photoshop. The final product was printed on a heavy card stock.
Here with another installment of Illustrating Type the Hard Way (TM). This is a completely digital sketch that grew out of some loose experimentation with letterforms. It also might be some kind of reaction to all the crisp, flat design around these days. You’ve got to mix things up, right?
With a three-year-old suddenly running around the house, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of toys around here. I did this sketch during some rare downtime, interpreting what has to be the cutest walrus bath toy ever made. I mean, have you ever seen a real walrus up close? They may have some level of charm, but cute doesn’t readily spring to mind! This sketch was done with black pen and colored pencil.
I have been having fun with hand drawn typography anyway, and then I went and met Chank Diesel, who seems to have done a lot of interesting fonts we all know and love. So here is another misc. type inspired sketch.
Recently, I’ve been experimenting with textures using black pen, and hand drawn typography. This was sketched on paper, and then colored with a little Photoshop action.
