John Muir

Good old John Muir. This is a piece from a few years back. A friend and I worked on an animation with this style in mind. Traditional methods for both this piece and the eye below. This Muir piece created with alcohol markers, and the eye with watercolor. Enjoy!

The new site is up and running. I'm still working on formatting all of the images, but there's a few new ones up there. Check back through out the month for more work as it's posted. I'll have a series of logo and identity work that will be up there soon.  Enjoy!

The Comic

Directions

This is a design I recently finished for the alumni fine art show coming up. In the preliminaries here, everything is vector, but for the finals, I cut a stencil of the black letters and spray painted it a little messy. The gold, directions, was then hand written in gold paint marker. The background texture was printed with a large format inkjet, around 24" square.

Entr'acte Fridays

My favorite place to be Friday nights, 10:30pm, sitting at a table with a drink and a plate of food, drawing or painting in a sketchbook, while I listen to my friends play the best music in town. Flyer created with 3D Studio Max and illustrator.

The Dessert Roaming Kissing Fish

Here's one I saw in Nevada last year.

Lightnin' Bugs

These are the, "Lightnin' Bugs" that live outside of my house. They fly with their ears and have complex personalities. There's only a few here in the photograph, but they usually travel in large numbers.

The Loungist

Just finished a great evening of animation. Started the night with this character sheet, describing the main emotions I wanted to convey with this 1950's character. I then made a looping walk cycle, filmed it, painted in photoshop and imported to final cut.

Skill Power Logo

This is for a local group that was created to enrich students lives with knowledge about anything career related. The main form of communication is by speaking at forums that anyone may attend, that's where the speech bubble comes from. "Skill," has emphasis for the skills that one learns from the lectures and events. I made the logo with Illustrator. Enjoy! KH

VS.

Here's the poster for battles soon to be had. As part of Discovery Days here at school, two great gaming companies (NetDevil and Idol Minds) are presenting their work and speaking on concept design and illustration. It should be great! Click the poster above to read the details. Hope to see you there. KH

Shneea

This is a piece for Beck, a great friend who's coming to town this weekend. It was created with a single 2HB pencil and the background painted with photoshop. It feels like out children's book illustration and, well, Shneea. The piece was a lot of fun to create and a great exercise in texture application.      Enjoy! KH

Here's the second of the deck illustrations. It's iconic with a child's portrait simplified to few lines. The photo was shot digitally with an extended exposure.

Discovery Days Logo

Here's the new logo I designed for the annual, "Discovery Days" events held each summer at my school.  I printed off four, eight foot banners with this logo on it and if looks great blown up. The event is a week of guest speakers in the various disciplines taught at my school. The speakers are from pro companies that are doing well in their industries. It was a great opportunity to leave a mark in a respectable way.

The Fever

Working on a new series of posters. Longer, simplified fields of color

and expressive character studies.

Def Summer

It's been a great summer. Decent balance of work, school and free time with friends. I was invited to paint for a scholarship fund raiser. The proceeds from the silent auction featuring this, among other paintings, benefits students at my school with scholarships. It kind of feels like an earlier painting titled, "House of Heart." Also an earlier post on this site.

Industrial Invites

Here are two directions for an invite finished yesterday in addition to the work in the post below.  These were a lot of fun to create.  In this job, the bottom piece was chosen as the final.
