SLUGGER TIME!

Took a swing at another frame animation to promote my abilities. Samples from projects like graphic recording, books, blogs, and corporate communication. Add a couple off-the-wall cartoons, throw in some baseball lingo, and I'm ready to go--something like this: "The pennant races are on so swing for the fences by using my hard-working illustration skills to elevate your stories, products, and presentations."

 NOW MORE THAN EVER

Forgotten Dads

 
Yeah Father's Day is now a distant memory, but my illustration for that big day is still here.

Love your Mom? Love Severance?

Have I got a deal for you! Loosely based on the finale of season 2 of Severance, Mr. Milkshake puts on a banger of a show with a marching band and some damn fine moves-and here he shows up not for Helly and Mark, but for your powerful, iconic, and respected feminine figurein your life in this lively, full color card. Now on my Etsy page right here.

Enjoy each Cat Equally

 

Inspired by a social media feed of the brilliant television show Severance, cute and funny cats, and non-stop horrible political news, why not a combo of Severance and some hand-drawn Severance stars as cats? If you like it, get them on a coffee mug here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/HouseofAkron  

(and we'll handle the politics later)

It's all in the Wrist.

This started as a logo for myself that I'd scrawl in the bottom corner of a finished graphic recording-now it's a glowing flowing flick-of-the-wrist GIF as my email signature. 

From your voice to my trusty Tombow marker- If you can say it, I'll draw it! 

Speaking of Tombow markers, they're my go-to for graphic recording: workshops, keynotes, big corporate plans, I've used Tombow markers (with a few DuraMark's for line-work-they don't smear when used with the Tombows) from here to Istanbul and back. And they fit in a nice flat easy-to-carry flat box I found at a Michaels craft store (and add a big rubber band to keep it closed). Might be a sewing box but works for me. 

And when I get to a job, I open the box, roll-up my sleeves, and arrange those markers on each side of the box-cool colors on one side, warm colors on the other. Kind of a personal ritual that gets me ready to draw, plus a little show that tells the crowd I'm super organized and not messing around-LOL!
