I Hear Music

Character for "I Hear Music". I don't have a lot of details on this one. It's a quick project from an old client. They were pretty clear on what they wanted and I just created the character for them.

Breviti Project

I was asked to do some really fun illustrations for an old client. These will be part of their new company's web site that will launch early next year. www.breviti.com

There are 7 different illos with a slightly different style/treatment for each. You can see all of these on my website at jamestoons.com

Scientist Sketches

Working on some sketches of a Scientist character for new client...

Characters for Oxford University Press

Got an assignment to do some character designs for an English language project that is to be released later this year in Spain. Still waiting to hear the details....

Pearson Education illustrations

More work for Pearson Education. I did a few illustrations for some pages on one of their upcoming English-learning programs. This is one of them. 

Do You Really Need It?

Another quick illustration for a new client. This one is pretty self explanatory. Tried to keep the colors muted in this one.  

Cat and Rat

New spot illustration for an Pearson Education

This was a fun little project. Just a simple color spot of a cat on a mat and a rat in a hat. I liked the first sketch better with more interplay between the characters, but the editor wanted the cat laying on the mat. The 2nd version I drew the cat laying on the mat but attempted to keep the tension between the characters with the cat’s playful posture. 

In the final version the editors wanted the cat to have all 4 on the floor.  

Infograph for AMO. I’ve done a few of these for various agencies that work with clients in the medical field. I like doing the illustrations. It’s a different challenge. Medical illustration is not really my specialty, but the style of these are intended to be fairly simple and easily digested. 

Irons in the Fire

Working on a new logo for Beachfire’s 3rd and latest restaurant. This one is at the Historic San Clemente Golf Course. We wanted to maintain the brand identity but identify this restaurant as having it’s own character.

Dave and Alison Donaldson have been our friends for a very long time and their success with their first restaurant "Beachfire" is well deserved. If you're ever in San Clemente or Ladera Ranch CA. You have to stop in and enjoy some of the greatest food anywhere. 

It's always great to work with Dave on any creative project.
