Mmmmm, tasty! And so easy to make!
Who says
industrial
mold-making
has to be dull?

series of
illustrations from a
brochure for
Lifetouch
International,
demonstrating ways
to get special
effects into
commercial
portraits.
Right: An ad comp for
Best Buy.














Below: Two of a series of
promotional postcards for
Creatis, a
Minneapolis-based
creative services company.
This series was
drawn with
brush and ink,
scanned, and
colored in
Photoshop.
Normally, I'm a
low-tech kind
of guy, but you
can get such
cool effects
with computer!

Right and below: Ad comps
done for Pillsbury. An ad
comp is a pencil or
marker-rendered rough
sketch for an ad used to sell
the idea to the client, in this
case Pillsbury. The 'Charlie
Brown' ad at right was an
interesting case. All the
figures had to be copied
from existing drawings by
Charles Schultz. So for
Linus, for example, I had to
take the head from one
drawing, the arm from
another, and so on, copy
them exactly to get the
finished drawing, and then
do the same for the rest of
the characters.
