Business Card Design

This business card is a simple design for my friend Lyn.




This business card is one I designed for my son in law.



I did this card for my neighbors, who have their own lawn care business.




The Wolfe Detective Agency card was a bit of practice using Photoshop
and Illustrator. I drew the wolf as a vector art project for this
card.




The next business card was a project using digital art.



Here is a card I submitted for a project using Illustrator to recreate
a logo from a supplied logo.



The following is another card using supplied artwork and logo.

Digital Design: Using Photoshop For Cool Effects

 
 The burning fuse was for a poster design for the Olympics.




The following projects are some examples of what can be done
using Photoshop to illustrate cool effects.




I finished this project using various layer masks, filters and
added textures and fills to illustrate this cool laced effect.




This product print ad was done using a hand holding a coke.
I did the photography, editing, and then used filter effects
to build the burst out in Photoshop.




This is my big splash effect. The tomato design was drawn
using Illustrator first. I used an image of rippled water
for the background and various filter effects and brushes for the
splash in Photoshop.

Finished Saw Blades


The client, Cheryl, likes country decor. Here
I have done a portrait of her dog Princess and her.
She was very pleased with the result. She supplied the
image that is tinted in sepia style. Black and white can
also be different and unique for painting and displaying
this type of art.




Here are my saw blades that I painted recently.
I love to do art that features wildlife and birds.










































I also painted some larger saw blades over the holidays.
