Digital and Traditional Illustration
Over the past ten years I have refined my art digitally, using Photoshop, Illustrator and other design software, and have been able to create quality designs for other clients and some personal projects. Traditional drawing will always be, and has always been my strongest communicator. My ability to contribute, through the simplest and most gratifying method; pencil and paper, can convey the most complex aspects of design and design concepts. Pencil, watercolor, and ink have been the mainstay for me over the years. Sketchbooks, insects, flies, fishing and the outdoors have brought me to where I am today. Countless successful artistic designs and traditional illustrations have been created for private collectors, fly-shops, clubs, businesses and galleries alike.
Carving and Sculpting
Each fish carving was artfully made from single blocks of wood detailed to the highest level. The study of fish, their anatomy, and how a fish moves under water led to several successful carvings and art illustrations. All of the elements in each carving were made from wood, except when structural support was needed. Some hand painting was used, but most were painted with an air-brush in the same fashion a taxidermist would finish a skin-mounted fish. Trained by a champion fish taxidermist, the air-brush is a necessary tool for producing the highest quality realistic carvings.
Graphic and Concept Design
Over the past ten years I have refined my art digitally, using Photoshop, Illustrator and other design software, and have been able to create quality designs for other clients and some personal projects. Logo and T-shirt design, custom graphics, decals CD/DVD jackets, business cards, and special event posters are just a few of the items that have been successfully produced.
