It's ALIVE!!!!

Rob Anspach always throws one helluva good Halloween bash! And it's become a tradition for him to tap the shoulder of one of his fellow designer pals to create each year's invite postcards and posters! Well... this year I had the privilege of doing so! I figured I'd design this year's invite with the feel of the old horror/suspense comics - and I'm really happy with how it turned out! (I've included my rough sketches below, as well, to show the process I went through to get to the final end-product.)

Cornhole Guys!

While I'm on the subject of cool little retro-looking characters, I thought it appropriate to show off some little guys I invented for my pal Ben Witherspoon recently. He's one of the masterminds behind Cornhole.com - the #1 makers, suppliers, distributors of Cornhole game sets, products, etc in the world. (Man - I hope they have a better elevator speech than I just tried to construct! Haha)

Anyway - he came to me about designing their biz cards, letterhead, envelopes... the whole 9 yards. And soon I'll be working on their brochure. But these little fellas are playfully present on all their printed stuff.

Oh... and be sure to check out Cornhole.com and buy a set!

A Happy Little Character

I like the simple sculpted "line" of this little fella. Some lazy Sunday coming up soon I plan on animating this little character, but for now - I thought I'd share a simple sketch of him.
