Reading Rangers

I recently designed a few characters for a Davis School District program/logo called "Reading Rangers."

At our house - we like Batman

Toon Club's topic this week is Batman. This is great because I've been on a real Justice League kick lately. Here's some more Timm influenced art with a bit of personal flavor:



Also a photo of Liam's 3rd Birthday in March - it was Batman themed. I always get compliments on my quilted Batman t-shirt that Pam made.

Club FHE

Recently I had the opportunity to work on a cool product for a friend called Club FHE. Here's the logo, hopefully the product continues to develop and I get to work on a few more things for him.

Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats - Ho!

I loved the Thundercats as a kid and have been looking for a good excuse to draw them lately. Toon Club's topic for this last week is "Tigers." This is the reason I needed, so here they are. I redesigned them a bit with more of a Bruce Timm approach.

Attack of the Computers

Utah Business Magazine recently had me illustrate an article about computers that devour our money. Apparently the poor computer operator is rather down-trodden and can't afford to keep up with his money-grubbing work station. Here's a nice little illustration of that. Scary. I suppose it's the truth and now you know it.

The Third Dimension!

As you can see, I don't really know how to use Maya very well, in fact, this is my first attempt in any 3D program. I've always wanted to learn Maya, so I got some tutorials and the free download version and created a project. I like the way the design of this house turned out, I just wish I knew how to model/render it better. I've really gotta come up with some lighting/texturing skills. I also need to try something a bit more organic. Learning new stuff is hard.

Good News For People Who Like Bad News

Although I am a modest, Modest Mouse fan, this post has nothing to do with them but the title. After pitching a few products to Deseret Book a couple of months ago, the verdict is in - No Righteous! 2. Wha wha. At least not now, perhaps in the future when more sales figures from Righteous! 1 come in and blah blah blah. The actual good news however is that DB IS keen on another product I pitched - The Book of Mormon Card Deck. So after finishing up the artwork over the last few weeks, the art is done and submitted, so the new card game should be on the shelves at Deseret Book by fall. Yay. - Also my wife and I had a new baby this week - Baby Greta. Yay again.
