I’ve created these designs each year for the past few years for a race at Clyde’s in Columbia. I decided to go back to a collection of running shoes, similar to a design I did 2 years ago. I like the idea of changing it up each year with different shoes and colors but the same style. I think shoes have a lot of personality!
A new T-shirt design for this year’s St. Patty’s Day celebration in Reston.
A festive poster design for celebrating Cinco De Mayo at Clyde’s of Columbia. I went with margarita colors, a pattern and fun type.
An executive chef at Clyde’s Tower Oaks Lodge was having a viewing party for his Chopped show. I designed a bright poster, creating a tear down the poster with the Chopped logo to split up the copy.
Clyde’s at Mark Center are hosting a new Bourbon and Cigar Tasting event and needed a poster and table tent card to advertise with.
Clyde’s had a new beer festival coming up and I had creative freedom to come up with a design. Since the festival is featuring smaller breweries, I wanted it to feel handmade. I decided to draw the Craft Beer type instead of using a regular font to give it that handmade feel. I took a photo of a local rain barrel and used that for the background to give it an earthy feel. I incorporated the featured breweries on bottle caps. This is a large 20″ x 30″ poster. We made a few smaller pieces to complement the poster.
Another fun project. Clyde’s of Columbia has an annual 10K Race and needed a shirt design. I thought it would be fun to have a small collection of running shoes with a bit of old school feel. The final shirt was a nice white athletic running shirt.
Here is a poster I designed for Clyde’s of Tysons Corner. They started serving oysters and wanted artwork to highlight their newest addition. Oyster lined artwork was given to me by Clydes, I simply colored the shells. I wanted the design to be classy, a little vintage, and fun.
Clyde’s of Reston was having their first St. Patrick’s Day Party. They wanted leprechauns running through the Reston Town Center. All participants received a Tshirt. I had creative freedom to come up with something fun, a rare opportunity! I designed a rough sketch with a more generic leprechaun and just jumped into Illustrator from there.
After an initial draft, Clyde’s asked if I could make the leprechaun look a little like the Manager at Reston. So we made tweaks and here is the final shirt!
Clyde’s of Gallery Place needed a poster and table tent to advertise their Children’s Hour shows.
I started the project sketching at the park while watching my kids play. I scanned in my sketches and put together the final image. I wanted to create something earthy and fun with a touch of color.
