dressed in value logo design


my friend and designer ricky irvine, commissioned me to design the logo for his company "dressed in value".  ricky desires the attributes of a lion: bold, courageous, kingly, and digesting raw flesh.  but he is also a self-proclaimed  timid person, so... this image attempts to convey these contrasting emotions, all the while establishing an identifiable mark.

i enjoyed making it.

LIA



life in abundance is an organization working toward empowering the people of Kenya, Africa.  they are working in poor communities, encouraging even the poor that have little, to give to those whom have even less.  helping families adopt children and make their homes shelters for the oppressed.  a true Gospel act of service and humility.

my excitement and my favorite shirt


i am working on a cd package design for my friend Andrew Stonestreet.  his new CD is great, and i just sent him the work that i have done over the last couple of days.  i hope he is as excited about what i sent him as i am... i think they look great.  i will post the artwork when its finished.
this t-shirt was designed by CSDIV.  a friend/encourager of mine.  Stanley(csdiv) is one of the many influential designers represented in my work.  we printed these shirts on brown T's about 2 years ago... i didnt like the shirt choice... so i snagged an extra white T, and printed one for myself.  i like it alot.

turkey hunting


i have never killed something in my life...  it is a totally bizarre and surreal thing.
this past weekend my brother and i spent time at cabin, walking around with shotguns, looking for turkeys.  i was successful.  after killing it, i had to take it apart and put it on ice.  i have a renewed appreciation for meat...  death in any form shouldn't be taken lightly, and i intend to savor the meal in which i eat that turkey.
also, i have recieved a few jobs recently... i have been very distracted from design in the past two months... but am working to make more things in the immediate future.  so for you that are interested, i should be updating my blog more often.
