95.5 The Beat T-Shirt Design

Meet The Beat, (11X14, ink on paper). This is a T-Shirt design commissioned by Atlanta-area radio station, 95.5 The BEAT, "Atlanta's New #1 for Hip Hop". They wanted a line drawing image of all their DJ's grouped together as a sort of dysfunctional family. I received great photo reference, and the client was a pleasure to work with, but I was in Panama City Beach, FL. working at my retail location when the job came in, and not in the comfort of my studio. I did the entire drawing in the wee hours of the morning, while sitting on a bed in the condo I rented, using a basic drawing board, markers, and scratch paper. Sometimes you just have to make due with what you have and where you have it.

Classroom Illustration

Class of 2006-2009, (16X20, ink on illustration board. This was commissioned by a company called Dynamex in Kennesaw, GA. It's a retirement gift, and they wanted the honoree to be portrayed as a teacher, and the colleagues as students. I came up with the idea of turning them into children, partially to help with the complicated composition of the drawing, but also because I think it makes it a funnier piece.

New Retirement Illustration

Beach House, (16X20, ink on illustration board).
This is a retirement piece commissioned by PriceWaterhouseCoopers. It's a basic group shot with personal elements added. I wanted to show the retiree sort of surrounded by craziness and ready to retire, in a playful kind of way.
