30 Days S.G. Banners

March 20th, 2010

Last work I was working on a banner for one of the premier scooter clubs of St. Louis.

30 Days Scooter Gang is a club that prides itself on the camaraderie of its members as well as a love for smaller displacement bikes. For the most part, members have bikes between 49cc and 250cc engine capacity and favor the classic vespa style. I designed a 6′x2′ foot banner to represent the club using a vector illustration I created of a vintage vespa and taking design elements from their existing patch and website design:

The Mer-Couple and the Octopus

October 8th, 2009

This is one of the drawings that I started ages ago…almost 4 or 5 years. I originally had wanted to submit it for an illustration contest, but things came up and then I never had the motivation to finish it.  I finally just sat down and put in the last few touches I wanted. I still see  a lot of imperfections, but I don’t want to mess with it anymore. I’m quite tired of looking at it actually, so if you’d like the original drawing, contact me and I will gladly make an arrangement!
