On the digital drawing board: Not quite annual post

My apologies for the lack of activity here. It’s been over a year since my last ‘journal’ post. I'd hoped to stick my nose in, sniff around, and type a few words during Thanksgiving weekend - like last year. 

Not to be. A large illustration for a long-time corporate client emerged a few days before the turkey went in the oven. …and I'm not one to take away from what became reduced family time.

I am fortunate, as 2025 has been my busiest year so far, with almost nonstop client and publishing deadlines. Thus, I’m here for a quick stop-in to share a few recent pieces - and hopefully not bore anyone. Let’s start: 

——

Preliminary designs for a corporate mascot & bottle label icon for a soon-to-launch (and thus far undisclosed) dog vitamins company. After some sketches, we settled on an Australian Shepherd.

——

One of twelve monthly magazine cartoons created for AIU Insurance in New York.

——

One of a series of IT security cartoons created for Fidelity Investments, and their corporate customer website portal.

——

McKesson Pharmaceutical: A series of monthly cartoons for their 35,000 employees, covering cyber security, and encouraging increased care with company computers and personal logins. These spanned from Fall 2024, through this year.

——

Icon & mascot created for Point clothing, NYC. The heron character was created for their social media, clothing tags, advertising and the watercolor illustration below was created for T-shirts.

——

Illustrations for postcards and framed prints - for a fantastic cookie bakery in Maui...

 

——

The aforementioned Thanksgiving week illustration project for Capgemini in Paris…a 20 X 30 illustration for a retiring executive, (later framed and presented at his send-off celebration.

A pro bono piece created for Wowbrary. It is a non-profit, national service that sends weekly emails about the most recent items added to your local library's collection. You customize which genres, and subjects you would like included in your newsletter, and also reserve bestsellers instantly.

Lastly, an illustration of the University of Colorado football team’s most famous fan, Peggy Coppom, known as "Miss Peggy.” This was presented to Peggy at her 100th Birthday celebration, at the stadium.

Merry Christmas! And may the coming New Year be one of your best.
