A piece about carbon footprint




This was a large project (17 by 22 inches)...Went through a lot of revisions with this illustration. I didn't anticipate the amount of writing I would need to do for this piece but I'm quite happy with the way it turned out. Please please please let the printing and mounting go smoothly!

Info Illustration


I just finished this project this week in my info illustration class. We had to pick a topic that we thought was relevant in today's world, create a headline, a blurb and an illustration about it. This is supposed to go into our grad book (but I never paid my fees, so I dunno if I'll be in it!).

Anyways, this piece is titled
"Pharming Animals for Their Worth". The term “pharming” comes from “farming” and “pharmaceuticals”. It brings agriculture and advanced biotechnology together to produce medicine in a natural and cost-effective way.

Concept drawings

A couple of concept drawings for a product I thought up. It's called a wallet PDA. The drawings on the left side show the ladies' version. The men's version is on the right.

Chav Jar Project


I drew these illustrations for a line of caviar products.

These are two point of purchase displays that I designed for this project. One is a waist level stand and the other is a smaller counter top display.

F-15 Eagle


I drew this for my product illustration class. It's a F-15 Eagle fighter jet. Originally I planned to show a pilot inside but felt the illustration looks less busy without it.
