Inspiration: Stina Persson

Stina Persson is up there with my favorite current artists. She is an illustrator based in Stockholm Sweden and she works wonders with watercolors. Last summer she did a tee shirt for the Gap’s “RED” collection. She has also had clients like Coke, Target and Absolut. Anyway, check her out. Her paintings will knock your socks [...]

Luminate Logo: Finalllllly

After much debate here she is. The final draft of the Luminate logo. I love it, pretty sure the boys
over at Luminate love it. Just might have to celebrate over a bottle of wine [...]

Inspiration: Hatch Show Print

I am all about things being done the old fashioned way. From a pair of granny-knit mittens to a photo processed in the darkroom, there is something to be said for things that are made by hand. Though they take a little longer, and cost a little more, there is a quality to them that [...]

Feeling Springy: Update

Just wanted to show off the final version of the Ellison Center spring poster. A couple edits need to be made in the text, but other than that… lookin’ pretty pretty. Used kuler:Rio [...]

Luminate Update

Here is an update on the Luminate logo. We came to the conclusion that the first angler was a little too cute. This Lumi-fish is tough. I started vectorizing him yesterday but I just didn’t like the feel of it. I am going to paint him by hand tomorrow and also make a sketch-like b&w [...]

It was so beautiful this weekend. Nice to know that spring is finally on it’s way! Heading up to Vermont this [...]

I like birds... and Robert Ryan's Art

Those of you who know me know that I love birds. I like to draw them, have them as pets, feed them & watch them make nests in their cute little bird houses. I have a new turkey friend named Hannah, but I had to stop feeding her so much because she started using the door [...]

Dinocuteness

Okay… seriously, these are the cutest dinosaur things I have ever seen. There are a bunch of other super-cute birthday kits on Meri Meri’s website. Unfortunately the girls I live with might think it’s weird if I start putting dino toppers on our cupcakes… but if you have a t-rex loving 5 year old hanging around, [...]

Pencil to Vector: Luminate

I haven’t had much time to blog since I returned home from my trip to Hawaii. I have been busy making promo cards for myself (will post soon) and putting together new graphics for the new Lumintate Surf & Skate website. I sat in on a meeting with the web designer Jake Silva yesterday afternoon. We [...]
