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.

Dia de los Muertos

New logo illustration for Oceanside's 7th annula Dia de los Muertos festival.

I've done a new illustration for the festival for the past 3 years. It's always a fun job and it gives me a chance to rethink the design every year.
