I've Been Away For a While

I recently read an article suggesting that artists breathe new life into abandoned blogs. It dawned on me that I had spent a good deal of time posting artwork to Facebook and neglecting this forum. So, I'm back and I hope to get back into the habit of writing and posting artwork here.

To kick things off, I wanted to share this logo that I created for an upcoming training event.

This was a bit of a departure from the more recent images for the company. I struggled with developing a visual for some time. The customer asked to work with the theme word Adapt and that seemed lonely for some reason. After considering things that adapt, I came to the chameleon idea. I drew up some ideas where the creature was a part of the A.

 I worked that idea pretty extensively, but didn't like where it went. I felt it needed more. That's when I added the Thrive concept. The customer wanted to motivate their team and inspire them. Adapting without an outcome was what I think was hanging me up. Once I added that concept, I saw the t in adapt and thrive as overlapping. So I morphed them together and it seemed to work. The customer was pleased as well.
