Graphic Design

Everything comes back to graphic design. Web and print, identity and social media. Color theory, layout and typography, all essential design elements that I’ve trained in and worked with for years. I’ve created entire product campaigns, business cards, logos and identity packages and everything in between,

Web Design

I’ve been creating websites for decades. I’ve created sites large and small, external sites, internal sites and corporate intranets. I’ve created sites for individuals, sites for companies, sites for government agencies. Designing for the web is a huge part of what I do each and every day.

Sports Art

The original purpose of this studio was specifically sports art, but it’s grown into something much more than that. I love the combination of art and sports, and if I had my wish, I would be creating it each and every day. Cards, posters, or promo materials, I just love sports related projects.

Back in 1992, Marvel Comics contracted a company called Impact to make them a set of X-Men cards. As a kid, it was one of my favorites and I collected the entire set. I stumbled across them a little while back and while the colors were a little dated, the layout was...

Another commissioned piece, these were printed in 2019 on acetate and sent to Jasson Dominguez through his agent in Florida. He signed and returned the pieces and I hand crafted a set of autographed cards out of them. Below is the mock up of the design, followed by...

2018 MVP

2018 MVP

To celebrate Mookie Betts' 2018 MVP run I wanted to come up with something I could potentially print out as a poster. I had seen similar styles but wanted to create something of my own. I really enjoyed the collage on this one, and tried to incorporate a lot of...

Splatter

Splatter

These are some of my very first custom cards. They were an experiment with some specific Photoshop brushes and painting techniques and I even used these are early test prints when figuring out how to make my own refractors.

Band Photography

A Christian musical group approached me about album photography and website needs. We were able to scout a location and stage a photo shop for the groups photography. They were able to use the photos on their website as well as their debut album.

Sign & Graphics Company
