This logo was designed for the Hands 2 Serve Project. Essentially very similar to the Hope In Action Ministry. Members of the project work to improve houses for those in need and are unable to do the work themselves. Like the Hope In Action Ministry all of the work is completed by volunteers (NO they are not paid, but paid through doing a good deed for someone). Design – It was felt that the logo needed to make a bold statement through graphics and color. It would be used both in print and web… and on t-shirts via silkscreen. For the T-shirt, another graphic needed to be designed that would work complimentary with the original.

Here are some additional sketches from the beginning of the project, a glimpse of my design process.

I have decided to start highlighting unique design, illustrations or art while I am in between projects. I had hoped to be able to do 1 or 2 of my own twists on characters like a Disney Princess or maybe even Rainbow Brite. I will be starting on another dog portrait tomorrow “Dakota”, Grace’s adopted sister.

This is so twisted. I love it. A unique twist on lovable icons. I would love to see all of the doodles the artists went through to get to this point. Enjoy! The drawings are created by GRAPHEART, a freelance studio located in Paris.

I know its a bit of a stretch for Illustration Friday’s “Twirl”… Still if I think about the idea twirl, I think of how many times I have twirled pencils to continually create a sharp point. I overcame a lighting issue in my studio. Frustrating how reliant I am on bulbs etc. This beautiful dog, Zeus is now completed… YEAH!!! Of course I am still awaiting approval from the client. Let me know what you think everyone.

The portrait was approved… Now I am definitely “TWIRLING” in a happy dance.

Horsing around with Airborne

I was asked to do a caricature of a horse (but not to stray too far from the original picture). I was a bit surprised as this was outside of my forte. I found it to be very challenging, but I loved the end result.

Grace, Schnauzer Sketch

I am so excited to start on this portrait. This is the beginning or first sketch mainly for concept of space before placing in color. The media being used will be pastels. I have to make sure that the drawing is accurate in order to continue comparing several photographs for reference before moving on. I will continue to update progress on this drawing and do my best to explain my work process.
