This is a bottle re-design for the Australian wine Shoo Fly. I decided to make my design into the four splits and constructed the carrying case for the bottles as well.
This is a promotional poster and t-shirt for a band that I like, Department of Eagles. They are from New York and more of an underground band. I wanted to portray the personality of the musicians by the illustrations and color choices.
This was a typographical 13 month calendar which had the illustration influence of Sailor Jerry. Sailor Jerry was one of the original American traditional style tattoo artists, who is a huge influence in traditional style tattooing today. My illustrations for each month relate to the typeface of that month. Attached to each month is also a temporary tattoo of that months image. The "13th month" has original flash art by Sailor Jerry and several pieces of information about him.
A few illustrations of mine. The first one is an evil eye. I am part Greek and have been looking for a cool (real) evil eye to put up in my place. I gave up on the search and made my own. The second one down was inspired by a necklace I liked. The owl drawing was inspired by an owl-bank (piggy bank sort-a thing). The limes and lemon drawing I think came about because I bartend at a margarita bar.
The logo re-design for a small, but very funky, cosmetic company that specializes in Pin Up Style makeovers. I also created the business cards, a fold-out brochure with information about pricing and sample photography (photos not shown), advertisements, and an invitation for customers to send out to friends for private parties. I was inspired by 80's design and polka dots.
A package re-design of a tape measure. The cost of producing the product was not an issue. I wanted to appeal to children and people who are not comfortable in hardware stores. A bright playful package, I felt, would jump out and appeal to that audience.
I am from Atlanta, Georgia and am currently studying graphic design at Georgia State University. Random everyday objects inspire my art. I always try to experiment with different mediums and techniques so I can merge fine art with graphic art. I also enjoy the trial and error process. I am inspired by and admire clean design, so naturally I like to simplify my work. When I am not busy being a student and a bartender, freelance work and my personal art consumes me.
