2012 BACHELORETTE PARTY T-SHIRT

A T-Shirt I designed for a Bachelorette Party. Europeans call Bachelorette Parties a "Hen Party," a phrase utilized in the overall design. You will see numerous hens clucking around and getting mischievous. It was one of my most memorable side projects!

2007 THE PEACOCK SKIRT POSTER
|
In this project, we were tasked with recreating a famous piece of artwork for a fictional art gallery exhibit. The rendering was completely done by eye. I chose Aubrey Beardsley's "The Peacock Skirt" 1893 for its complexity yet simple beauty. The Pen tool within Adobe Illustrator was the only tool used.

2006 GILLETTE NATURE ASSOCIATION LOGO
|
I entered into a 2006 competition Gillette held for a new logo, and I won! The Gillette Nature Association at the P.J. Hoffmaster State Park needed a new logo and identity system. They continue to utilize the design in their website, merchandise, business cards, and other miscellaneous executions all depicting the flowering Milkweed plant with interchangeable Monarch Butterfly and Caterpillar. It has been a decade since this, and they moved away from the logo. However, I still recall the immense joy and satisfaction of being chosen!
