Updates...

Still playing around with this....

More to come ;)

Updates....

Stroke Awarenes Logo updates...


ONLY allowed three types of colors..(as youll see on the far left)(purple, orange, black,-- and white is free, it's the shirt color...) and been playing around with opacities.. so, this way, making it appear as though more colors have been allowed...
thus far anyway. It's also cool to overlap a faint purple and a faint orange.. and get another tinge.. looking like a TOTALLY diff color.. yay! :)

And her is the original logo again....


AND also.. ALMOST completed a logo for a friend of mine... well.. for her Boss, that is! Ha :) He's in for a surprise....



More to come!

Updates....

Still playing around with this...
perhaps going to make this guy more menacing...
more details.. leaves.. etc etc... more to come...

Wow... it's been a while...

OK OK.. no excuses.. minus the fact that I've been having a HECK of a time catching up with life.. art.... friends.. work... gigs.. cleaning.. family?! Hi.. yes family!! Anyhow... more and BETTER updates to come.. but hey.. for now, enjoy some random photos/images of things that I am currently working on.. and will be continuing to work on...

From a concept/series for an organization called "Keep Seminole Beautiful" ... about invasive plants and why it is important to pull them, and NOT poison them (since we in turn end up getting ultimately effected by these said toxins...)
*Keep in mind this flyer/poster below is in NO WAY done.. much to do to it still.. make the background look more distressed.. play with the typography more.. and ultimately, the plant/image will be a vector plant/cartoon concept and I plan on having it look like it's taking OVER this entire sheet! This will help show how intense these invasives REALLY ARE in FL, and WHY we need to be rid of them ASAP withOUT chemical means!


A logo for a good friend of mine.. still in the works/tweaking it...


Her potential biz card layout...


A logo/concept for an event coming up with A Stroke Org About/For Kids....


AND...still working on a logo/concept for a Plumbing company out in Brevard County ...
