Graphic Design Pieces

This piece was an experiment. I wanted to see if I could create a cartoon version of my cat while still resembling him. This is where I discovered stacking colors. Using Illustrator, you start with a base color and then go up from there.

This piece was made in Illustrator to display my design process. When I create, I like to start with an outline of the entire piece to make the coloring process easier. Then I move on to what I like to call the detailing process, which is where I add detail lines to improve the overall look. Next is when I start combining graphics. I got this eye from my personal "Stock Graphics" folder. I like to finish detailing a graphic before adding another so I can combine them easily. Finally, I add colors to what I'm designing, and on more detailed pieces, shadows and color variance to give a sense of depth.

Made in Illustrator, this piece is simply called "Fish". This is when I started to improve and hone my skills in cartoon design. I added simple, but affective, lines around the fish to give it a more defined looked.

This is my first attempt at the Kustom Kulture style. What inspired me to start learning this style was "Rat Fink" and the man who created him, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. Made in Illustrator, this is also the first piece that I was proud enough to sign.

Made in Illustrator, this piece must be classified as fan art to avoid copyright infringements, but it also doubles as a infographic. Inspired by the popular game "Fallout", this infographic lists interesting facts about atomic blasts.

I really just wanted to make a colorful piece and I was watching the move "Gremlins" at the time, but decided to tone down the scary factor and make the gremlins look more friendly. Made in Illustrator, this is when I really started to explore the uses of gradients.

A commission based off the mountains located in New Mexico. I used InDesign to create the pattern in the sky, and Illustrator for the rest. The piece was turned into a tapestry and the customers was more than satisfied.
