Fian.com gets some tweaks done

Just tweaked the site with some font changes and switched the slideshow on the home page to images in my character design and mascots portfolio. I also added some images to the portfolios. Lemmewhatyathink!

Working on art for a logo for a new fishing tackle company coming out soon. Still trying to figure out direction with that one to see what kind of killer image can be incorporated into the logo. Also, I am starting on a new children's book about a surfing platypus, its going to be super fun to do!!!

I'll keep ya posted on both projects as well as posting art from recent projects that are still waiting to get clearance for from my clients. One is a series of character designs for children's vitamins and the other are illustrations for a supercross motocross board game, can't wait to post them.

AWESOME! Check them out and see for yourself!  http://www.timeoutchicagokids.com/indoor-outdoor-play/indoor-play/75739/our-favorite-new-board-card-and-dice-games-of-2011

Fian.com Holiday ecard humorous illustration

Heres the final illustration for my holiday ecard I sent out to my clients and potential clients for www.fian.com.It was a remake of a scratchboard illustration I had done 20 years ago for a holiday card of mine. I really enjoyed bringing it back to life in a different style and adding some modern touches by putting in an ipad and Facebook. The original had the reindeer holding up a centerfold from Play Deer magazine instead of the ipad. If I can only find the original illustration or printed card and post it.

Viking cartoon for logo art

Still waiting for the OK from my clients on a few finished projects I can post. Its still top secret area 51 type stuff and if I break the silence before an OK I could get abducted by guys in black suits and cars and be forced to listen to Justin Bieber non-stop 24-7 in some non disclosed location, I wouldn't last long...I'd snap like a twig. In the mean time, here's a humorous cartoon illustration done for a logo for a real estate company in the Canary Islands. They wanted a Viking character design because alot of Norse people buy property there...waddayathink?
