Want more stuff?
Unfortunately,
I've lost many of the originals of my print designs over the years, but as I obtain more samples from more current work, I will be updating this section to include new, high-profile print and packaging projects that I've been involved with.

A
little online/offline/retail/consumer packaging
This is the bread and butter of my design work at Prepay.com.
Over the course of 12 months with the company, I produced
literally hundreds of these prepaid card designs.
Basically, each card design is a 7" hanging plastic-coated
card, with a detachable bottom portion the size of a credit
card. The purpose was for maximum visibility in a retail environment,
promoting the client's brand directly in front of consumers.
The toughest part (besides often producing 10 of these a day)
was writing copy that spoke in each brand's own "voice."

The
ubiquitous tri-fold brochure
Tired of the old, boring one-sheets and brochures, we needed
something a bit jazzier to push Prepay's services.
This is the product of a collaboration with a freelance designer.
Believe it or not, this took weeks to finalize - an illustration
of the very reason you don't need too many heads on one project.

A
quickie for State Farm
This was just a very simple, 2-sided one-sheet for an internal
State Farm document.
It features Premiere Replacement Service's "Wheel of
Services" and logo... the M3 in the background is mine.
I wish! This is simply here so you know that I have done work
for companies you've heard of! ;) |

Support
independent film
One of the benefits of doing web work in the entertainment
industry was also getting to do graphics projects for films,
simply because of the high visibility. If the film makes it,
that is.
I was lucky to be able to do my first concept for a movie
poster/one-sheet in 1996 for Nichol Moon's Farewell to
Flanders Field. I don't think it ever made it to distribution,
which is a damn shame considering it's a great movie... |

The
shirt off my back
It seems in theearly 90's everyone wanted to get into the
lucrative sports apparel market. This particular company,
Draft Sports, was unique in that it catered to fans of Inline
(Roller) Hockey.
This was one of three commissioned designs: A skeleton on
inline skates playing goalie. |

Comics
in life-like 3D!
Alright, so they're not all that life-like, but I think they're
pretty snappy for my first 3D renderings (circa 1996).
I was heavily influenced by comic characters (i.e. exaggerated
musculature, tight outfits, capes) at the time - can you tell?

Printed
miscellany
The first panel is a modern sculpture of a computer mouse
standing on its tail like a coiled snake (entitled "Don't
Click On Me." Get it?)
The second is aprint ad for Arrival Entertainment that ran
nationally in the Hollywood Reporter magazine.
The third is a simple logo for "Dylan & Cole's Parrot
Patrol," from an attempt to turn a couple of young stars
(Grace Under Fire, Big Daddy) into superstars.

And
more miscellany!
Let's see here.. the first is the tattoo I designed for myself.
I still haven't gotten it.
The second is one of my first forays into making body parts
disappear with Photoshop.
The third is a CD cover I redid from an original black &
white photo for a friend's band.
The final panel is a Photoshop airbrush painting done with
a mouse (NOT a graphics pad). It wasn't nearly as easy as
I thought it would be... |

This
one dates back to high school
Way back in the high school days (about 1992), I had several
poster-sized drawings and paintings at a gallery showing of
"young talent" at a gallery in Cupertino, CA.
This one was among them, a poster-sized pencil drawing of
the band Depeche Mode. I guess old favorites never die.
[Because of poor lighting, there's a glare & a reflection
of me taking the still of this portrait - I'll post another
one as soon as I can get a better picture.] |
