SALT LAKE CHILI AFFAIR

OLDER PIECE but I really liked the logo of the two 'dia de los muertos' skeletal guys fighting over the red-hot pepper ... my friend and co-designer Trent Jameson, at then design studio Axiom created the balance of the campaign - great work for a great cause...

NORDSTROM LATINA

IDEA for my contribution to Nordstrom's Hispanic Awareness month ... twice before I had pieces accepted for this campaign, in one case the Director of Marketing actually bought 'los Adictas'. I believe that this was an idea for some accompanying print materials for Nordstrom ... did'nt get used, but I really like the tenor of the piece. Sketch was made using markers, color copy transfers, and photoshop.

ANOTHER 'MARIE ANTOINETTE' ICON ...

LET THEM EAT CAKE - icon developed for the small styleguide presented to Sony (by DOT) in hopes of attaining the styleguide work for the movie 'MARIE ANTOINETTE' directed by one of my personal favorites SOPHIA COPPOLA ... movie was not licensed for merchandise, so what is left is some great commercial design.

HAREM GIRL FOR METROPOLITAN ...

HAREM GIRL was an illustration done for an invitation for local swank eatery METROPOLITAN ... as Diana Vreeland (former editor/fashion expert) quipped, "pink is the navy blue of India" ... illustration is acrylic paint, ink, and white-out on board ... client was very happy with the work, I will try to remember to post the entire invitation ...

CONCEPT FOR AN EDITORIAL

CONCEPT envisioned for an editorial spread for a magazine in Los Angeles ... if memory serves me right, the client had us go in a completely different mode, but I like the immediacy of this preliminary sketch - sketch was done in pencil, white-out, ink, and color copy transfers. I believe the theme for the article/illustration was about the money guys and the pressure on the artist to conceive, accomplish, and win the accolades as well ...
