Three Portraits









The company has created three awards for a some former employees who passed away. They were going to use badge photos, but I was able to convince them to let me have a crack at creating something suitable.

The two men were good friends of mine, so I was happy to do this. I didn't know the woman very well, but she is remembered fondly as well.

Anna Doing Her Thing

This is a quick sketch for one of my lacrosse players who is leaving high school early for college to play field hockey. I usually do a drawing for each of my seniors and she was disappointed that she wasn't going to be playing this spring and would miss out on her drawing. Hockey is her main sport anyway.



Great kid, very happy for her.

An Opportunity to do Something Good

I had a great opportunity this summer to work with a friend of mine in Chicago on a project for Father Flannigan's Boys' Town. My friend Erin was looking for an illustrator to create images for the annual fund raiser and she chose me to to do the work.





This was a treat for me. I got to work with Erin (great person, great designer) who I met along with a group of other designers at the HOW design conference 10 years ago. Our group has maintained contact and we often collaborate or discuss projects. The ultimate customer, Boys Town is a great charity and the founder, Father Flannigan, is a fellow Mount St. Mary's alumni.


Here are the original sketches along with the finished illustrations. In another entry, I will post Erin's final designs, which made my pictures look great and made them effective stickers and promotion graphics. Way to go Erin! If you get these in the mail, you will know the back story. Don't forget to give to Father Flannigan's Boys' Town.
