Sharing a T-shirt Design I did last week for Discover Outdoors Foundation in NYC for an upcoming event. They wanted something a little vintage this year and I had fun with this sweet typeface I found, modifying it some and working with some simple mountains/trees. Every year they have a hiking fundraiser to raise funds for NYC kids.

A fun retro logo design that I think came out really well. Unfortunately, Atomidata had to close down, so if anyone is interested in repurposing this logo to their own needs, let me know!
A great NYC-based group that brings outdoor adventures & educations to NYC kids – Discover Outdoors Foundation – needed a t-shirt designed for their first Hike-a-thon. The group was hiking 14 miles of the Appalachian Trail in Harriman State Park. It was a little challenging sticking to 3 inks, one being the client’s gray from branding, on a dark blue t-shirt color but I think it came out pretty well.

Another local detailed logo. This logo will mainly be for the businesses truck wrap. Besaw was the client’s last name and he decided to use it to his advantage with a feisty bee holding a chainsaw for his firewood business. I tried to make it fun and colorful with a bit of local mountain vibe.
The Shepherd University’s Wellness Center started up a new competitive swim team for kids and teens this year and needed a new logo. During my research I discovered that the sea snake is actually quite deadly. I used Shepherd’s color scheme, Shepherd Wellness Center’s font tweaked just a little bit to be a tad prettier into the logo with ‘Sea Snakes’ and worked up a nifty logo for the new swim team to hopefully be proud of.
And as an update, the logo has been working out really well across various formats including spiffy ribbons as the team grows. Go Sea Snakes!
Discover Outdoors Foundation, in NYC, had the idea to do their first year’s annual report as a graphical representation instead of as a boring old booklet. I designed it bright, bold and included fun illustrations. It can be used as a web pop-up, a poster, a mailer, or be emailed as an attachment.
My son was having a birthday party and we made him a custom avatar based on Avatar: The Last Airbender for his birthday invitations. I pulled up a graphic from the show and a picture of my son in his uniform and designed this illustration.
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.
One of my favorite jobs of 2012 was to illustrate this book for National Eye Institute (NEI). The client wanted an agenda book that was useful to kids, appealed to kids, and taught the kids eye facts with activities and cartoons.
We began by submitting characters for the agenda book. The various submissions were focus tested by kids and selected. Once my characters were chosen, I created illustrations of the two characters, Liam and Isabella, in various poses/angles, different outfits, and some spot illustrations like an eye model. The project was a very quick turnaround (trying to get the books into the schools for the 2012 school year) so the goal was to make the illustrations easy to adjust for various pages. I submitted the illustrations individually and NEI’s design team did the layout of the book.
