Fun project with the talented team at Slate Auto, an activity book to launch their game changing electric car. Huge thanks to Nick Leonce for the paint help. My kids couldn’t wait to dive in, so I had to share their version instead of the clean one!
Lawn Fungus
Quick sketch inspired by some fungi growing in my yard. Might as well slap it on a wine label.
Notre Dame Football Update Updated
Notre Dame revealed a new Fighting Irish football logo with the mascot running the ball. The update misses the mark, weak pose, awkward thick lines, and a vibe more suited for a high school team. The original logo had a strong pose, clean silhouette, real aggression. I reimagined it running the ball while keeping that strength and aggression alive. Next time, call me.
Florida Summer Sky
Florida summer skies have been crazy lately. I took a couple of photos and tried to recreate it with some noise and fun gradients.
Another product I use in my house that can use a packaging facelift. The daisy itself can be a ownable part of the brand and its usage.
MDH Chana Masala
Secret ingredient in most Indian households and one of my favorite spice mix. Thought i give it a facelift.
Japanese Star Wars
I have been working on Lucas Licensing for more than decade at Pilot. This is something from the deep vaults that i thought i would share. Classic characters meets Japanese typography, cant go wrong.
Paddle boarding with Niko
Niko (my son) and I love paddleboarding through the mangroves, spotting critters, chasing dolphins, and sometimes crossing paths with bonnethead sharks.
Midwest Karat
Something i made for kicks and casseroles. It would really make the best TV sitcom (Napoleon Dynamite style)
Quittin' Time Beer
QuikTrip, one of the largest convenience store chains in the South and Midwest, operates over 1,000 locations across 17 states. In the mid-1970s, they introduced their own private-label beer, Quittin’ Time, which developed a cult following before being discontinued in the 1980s. QuikTrip partnered with Tulsa craft beer legends Marshall Brewing Company to revive Quittin’ Time for a new generation. My design brother, Erik Hunter and I were thrilled to collaborate with both teams to reimagine this iconic brand, honoring its rich history while making it relevant for today’s craft beer market. We gave them some really fun mascot ideas that can really inject some new life to the beer, but did not get picked. Pick one up at your nearest Quick Trip!
Offshore Oil Rig Shower Caddy
Things i want in my house. Get at me if you can make this for me in IRL.
TMNT Sketch
Skunk Ale
Ode to the great Floridian Skunk Ape. Inking process here!
Judge Shredd
Judge Dredd is one of my favorite comic book characters of all time. Dawing of him in a space opera? Oh hell yes! Here a time lapse of this getting sketched out.
Hurlshire
Another episode of draw on a puke bag! Here is video of the process
My Happy Place
Rather be fly fishing any day
Sonic The Hedgehog Shirts
I have created a lot of Sonic The Hedgehog licensing guides over the years at Pilot. These were three of my favs.
Beer Dad
Bunch of us designed beer labels for a tall boy 6 pack for our buddy who is about to have a baby. Hope he drank them all in one sitting.
Sketch Book Snippet
Florida Beach Sunset
Had some fun on the flight with procreate and painted up a photo i took beach fishing
