Posters - Wilderness Skill Series

Something random, that I'm not used to... A tad of graphic design!

I was helping out with a personal side project, creating this series of posters to encourage students to learn Wilderness Skills!

I wanted to go with something simple and modern - and not too busy. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. I hope they are a success!

Sketching - the British Car Show

Had fun sketching cars yesterday! Still one of the thing I struggle with drawing the most. But It was a lot of fun seeing all these amazing retro shapes live! Also, it's a lot easier drawing cars from life than from pictures it seems.

Not great results, but a great experience!

I left my sketches on the dashboards of the cars I drew. Just to let them know I was a fan!

Some of my less aweful sketches! Pen and brush markers.

Me standing next to the pretty cars!

And here they are individually

Pinup - Manuela

New pinup logo for the QUEEN of Octoberfest! The lovely performer, Manuela! She is one sassy lady. So much detail - but a lot of fun! :) Wonderful client to work with as well!

Check out her website!

Pinups - Gina

Here is a lovely pinup commission from Brent, who wanted to suprise his wife Gina with a gift for her return back to work after maternity leave! She's one sassy teacher!

I have heard reports that she loved her gift!

Pinups - Malaika as Sailor Moon

Well, it was my good friend Malaika's 30th birthday not long ago. I have known this bad-ass chick since I was 6 years old. So a nostalgia present was in order.

We all watched it. Admit it. You loved it.

The one and only sailor moon! #sailormoon #pinups

And here is the gang! From left to right: Iwa - as Sailor Mercury (cuz she's so smart!), Zarrin - as Sailor Mars (cuz she kicks ass and honestly scares us all), Malaika - as Moon! (work it gurl!), me as Sailor Jupiter (a nod to my awesome tom-boy life phase) and finaly Bianca - as Venus (for being so pretty and epic, and for joining the team a couple of episodes later!)

Flamingo Tire Changer

Very fun and original commission this week!

I had a very tight-deadlined request for a Flamingo Tire-Changer character from one of my returning clients, Chris. :) I managed to get it done on time, and he's happy with it, as am I! What a wacky and fun concept!

Just for fun, because I found it awesome, I am including my client's "concept sketch". :D

He had a very clear idea of what he wanted!
