This was a first for me, and I was excited to see the final product. This is the same 'F50' drawing as below, with the actual photo blended in. Actually, this was a school project, and the rear of the drawing wasn't finished, so I decided to add the photo, and loved it. Weird how things work out.

While working in the Coors division at the Integer Group ad agency, we received a project in which we had to create new 'rustic' signage for a certain restaurant chain that was remodeling. I took the art director's sketches and created comps in Photoshop. Using stock photos of various materials and the logos of each brand, I created realistic looking signs using various Photoshop techniques.

This is a sample of some photo manipulation using Photoshop. The story behind this picture is that we were doing a Kid Rock promotion at eCampus.com, and my friend Nathan ended up doing most of the graphics work, so we started calling him 'Nate Rock'. Not much else to say about this one. I just wanted it to look real.

I did this drawing one afternoon and let me tell you, after sitting on concrete for 7 hours straight, I was very glad to get this thing done. This sculpture, called 'Infinite Energy', is located inside the breezeway of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The whole setting is spectacular. I used a 5mm mechanical pencil, and drew this on 8-1/2" x 11" sketchbook paper.

This started out as a small project for the eCampus.com Customer Service department, but I quickly got carried away. I was trying to create a fun poster to show how eCampus.com would soon be the greatest online textbook seller of the galaxy! Mwaaaahahahahaha!

Did this drawing after getting my Kohinoor technical pen set. I believe I used the .001 pen on this. This was a different drawing for me, and hadn't planned on doing a cross-hatched drawing at first. Ovals take patience, and there are no mistakes with a permanent pen, so the rear tire hasn't been done yet.

This is just another sample of some Photoshop manipulations. These 3 people worked at eCampus.com with me, and I created this poster for them on Boss' Day. I took a Beegee's jpg from the web, and blended my friend's faces into the photo.

First detailed drawing I ever did. I was 16, and it was the coolest thing I thought I had ever drawn. I didn't use any rulers or circle templates (and you can tell on the front tire, I hate that!). I used a 3 mm mechanical pencil. It's on an 8-1/2" x 11" piece of paper.

This drawing was done with a 3mm mechanical pencil. It is about 14 inches wide. This is probably my second most detailed drawing behind the FZ400, but definitely my favorite. It took about 40 hours to create. Also check out the blend composition of this drawing below.
