A quick peek at a work in progress for the local Chamber of Commerce. It’s a billboard that will display alongside Georgia 400 at exit 14, near the hospital, replacing the one I designed to promote business in the county.

This is a sketch that went to finish after a client apparently abandoned the project, which happens every once in a blue moon. An Illustrator image, the texture in the cap are Illustrator brush strokes added during the color stage instead of being inked in.

This design is a Celtic knot created in Illustrator for the iPhone game I’m helping out with. The programmers gave me the design and I recreated it in Illustrator with a little web research. It’s a fairly straightforward technique, but requires a bit of patience. I’ve added an ‘exploded’ example to show how the under/over illusion is created. Note that the topmost stroke has rounded caps to overlap and hide the ever-so-slightly-visible seams beneath where the paths have been cut apart and butt together.

Another quick post to showcase an icon from the iPhone game I’m assisting with. Created in Illustrator from start to finish.

Here is a replacement I created for the local Chamber of Commerce Boulder Dash billboard that has been up for some time now. Since the Boulder Dash was run on May 1st, they’ve been a bit tardy in getting around to working up a new one. But I think this one turned out quite well, simple and clean. Click on the image to see a larger version.

Here is a client sketch that was approved, and the color version can be seen here. A few more rope ladders were added at the Illustrator stage after it had been inked.

One of the projects I’m working on at the moment is an iPhone game, programmed by an independent developer. Below is one of the icons I banged out, uncharacteristically by Wacom tablet alone, no ink and paper version. The color was added via Illustrator and I’ve added the space background for this post. It won’t appear in the game version.

Here is the finished fish sketch from a few posts back. I’ve taken the hook out to make him a bit more versatile and useful to a wider audience once I get him on my website pages and available for download. The color for this one was added in Illustrator.
