My Illustration/Graphics work has taken many forms and I have worked on various kinds of projects. The GEX folder at left is indicative of the variety. Done for a client whose imported engine rebuilding business could not guarantee a steady supply of product, his needs were to have a catalog-like kit where cut pages could change frequently without necessitating reprinting. I revised a static logo and creating visual blocks which could change as needed on the cover and a dual pocket presskit that allowed the insertion of new product sheets as needed. The kit increased both recognition of the company and sales. I went on to develop their print ads, trade show booth and packaging. Airbrush is the medium with logotype having been designed with computer assistance ahead of time.

My special skill is pencil illustration and portraiture. Much of my experience is in broadcast-related promotion and production so that illustrations of performers comes naturally to me.
In this print ad for the CBS-TV movie "Go Towards The Light," the main feature was the cast, so that Richard Thomas and Linda Hamilton were featured prominently in the ad. The other main feature is the somberness of the topic, a child's death, so that black and white lends that matter of gravity effect that is needed to promote the film. Airbrush and colored pencil are the medium.

The design of the employee manual was enhanced by reproducing the illustrations as duotones, thereby giving more strength and substance to the pencil drawings.

This illustration, done for Proctor and Gamble's T.V. production "A Place to be Loved" about the boy who "divorced" his parents, provided a challenge. The seriousness of the theme required a traditional approach while ensuring the likenesses of the actors. Rhea Perlman was a unique challenge in that everyone identified her best as Carla from "Cheers" and was not accustomed to seeing her in this more professional character role.
