Specialty Projects

What sets you apart from the others?

Open minds can lead to wonderful collaborations. My interests in pop culture, comic books, animation, music, movies, sports, and nerdom have inspired quite a few projects both professionally and personally. It’s fun to think outside the box and envision ways to push design. Here are a few samples to view.

Create a DIFFERENCE maker

Vinyl murals, a school bus wrap, large office signage, a custom garden piece for a Princess Bride fan, and a one of a kind donor board, these are the fun and one of a kind projects that can happen with the right spark.

Custom Illustration

I have an Associates of Arts degree in Illustration and love opportuities to incorporate drawing, cartooning, and sketches into design projects where there is a fit. Custom art pieces on canvas, fun digital exercises, and relaxing watercolors are just some of the different things I can tackle.

A Christmas gift for Laura Trull from Dan Trull. A family portrait printed on canvas. Colors based on their favorite football team the Packers and JMU for Laura. Each of their shirts also has sports elements in them.

A friend wanted to depict his superhero wife to congratulate her on her new career move.

A series of illustrations for Culpeper Tourism depicting historic Virginia women for Womens' History Month.

My tribute to David Bowie when he passed away. I wanted to capture a very graphic portrayal of his Great White Duke era.

Watercolor and ink caricature of David Tennant's Dr. Who.

A fun Instagram exercise where you are given a shape and get to turn it into anything you can imagine. Not sure how I came up with Beetlejuice in that shape.

Watercolor and ink caricature of Mark Hamill as old Luke Skywalker from the third set of Star Wars trilogies.

I have a soft spot for Sponge Bod Squarepants. I had worked up a t-shirt pattern of Sponge Bob and Plankton tiki style.

Snowflakes?

Some of you may be familiar with my 25 Days of Snowflakes popping up on social media around Christmas time. For 10 years I created and cut out custom pop culture snowflakes. I have designed custom digital snowflakes for clients as gifts and holiday cards. No two snowflakes are alike. Click to enlarge and watch my time lapse video for the ASWB snowflake.
