Meet My Bot

Illustrating the energetic interactive workshop held by Gary Hirsch and Daryl Olson from On Your Feet last week was a fantastic experience. Not only were they fun to watch and chock-full of unique, usable insights and ideas, but I received a bonus additional weapon to push me over the top: my very own Inspiration Bot.  He's pictured here and you bet he's got a featured perch of high status at MikeDraws Headquarters. He's one of many bots out there and you need to discover his story here.

Bespectacled Bird brings Thanksgiving Wishes

Enlisted the help of this big guy as well as music from Fats Waller's "Honeysuckle Rose" to throw a little self-promo as well as Thanksgiving wishes to you- cheers to all!

Where do Ideas Go?

Here's a hapless soul who carelessly tosses ideas aside without jotting them down for keeps. And it looks like these crunched up concepts don't plan on leaving a paper trail!

MarkerBall

If Billy Beane could draw up his ideal player, would it be this corn-fed prospect who can blister the ball, handle the glove, then flash a 1000 watt smile that I captured for a Minor League program a few years back?

Logo Brings more Pow to the Pacific Palisades!

Logo for the 2011 Pacific Palisades Rocks the Fourth concert and fireworks show. Named "Splash" in a contest of over 70 entries, this Stratocaster- wielding dolphin oversaw a concert that attracted a crowd of over 5,000. Special thanks to my brother- in- law Keith Turner, not just a fine lawyer and organizer for the event, but also served counsel as creative director for the project!

High Mileage Markers

Had a blast working for some terrific facilitators and their clients around the country the last few months, power sketching tremendous batches of great ideas and innovations. You bet I count myself lucky to work with so many smart and nice people!

Video Testimonial

Excited to receive this video testimonial from Consumer Experience Expert Mike Wittenstein.  I worked for him at his Storymining session for his client recently. My first opportunity to work for him and he was terrific: he generated lots of great ideas and insights for his client that kept me and my markers jumping!

My Portfolio at the Behance Network

The Behance Network is a showcase and a resource of creative work featuring a wide range of art and design from illustration to photography to architecture. I've joined up and will be building my portfolio of work samples. Kicked things off with event marketing illustrations. I also have a bunch of commercial illustration for marketing and ad agencies, plus a few animations too. Take a minute and take a look..
