The preorder link has gone live for Kismet. April Canavan is amazingly talented. I really enjoyed designing the cover art for Kismet. The book captures the reader early and won’t let you go… such a good read. Share and get your copy early. See the link below.

I’m so excited for my friend April Canavan, and her new book “Path to the Key.” I was thrilled that I was asked to design the cover and now get to reveal the art. The official release date isn’t til 3.3.17, for now here’s the pre-order link for the kindle version!
(To those of you who want to order in print only- pre-order isn’t available, unfortunately)

Coloring Like an Adult
Published July 4, 2015 Graphic Design , illustration 3 CommentsTags: adult coloring page, black and white drawing, custom, design, ink, name, patterns, typography, zen tangle
Has everyone been following the recent trend of adult coloring books. One of the most popular is The Enchanted Forest, Johanna Basford. Another popular artist is Dawn Nicole or another artist Selina Fenech.
Its incredibly relaxing for most people. Recently I tried my hand at making a custom coloring page. It’s like typography meets zen tangles. I really liked how it turned out. I am currently working on 3 more.

Recently I worked on creating a logo for the Wichita Literacy and Learning. I had to go through a bit of development, see the sketches below. I like working old school with paper and pencil first, then I move to the computer. The first finished design just was not right. After some thinking and reworking here is the finished design… Do you understand the concept?
Run Donut Run!

I recently worked on a rather unique t-shirt graphic for a friend. While talking about it on the phone I came up with a sketch which later morphed into the t-shirt graphic. They were looking for a t-shirt design that they could wear at running/obstacle events. I can’t wait to see how it looks on a t-shirt. What do you think?

So Close, Background Yes or No?

So close. Cole is almost finished. Thank goodness, I worry this one has taken longer than it should. Partly because of the detail and also because of my shortage of time with a new baby. Hopefully I can finish this weekend. Now for the big question, does it need some information of the background? If yes than I am thinking a dulled brown or gray to bring in the arm of the chair that would help place Cole. What do you think?
To Infinity & Beyond

I worked on a beautiful wedding campaign in July. My brief: The number 8 or the infinity symbol was very important to them. Simple, modern yet traditional. Paper was chosen first an ivory. I built the design from these specs and content provided by the client.
