Start of a Good Day

Duck hunting season will be starting soon around these parts. To get ready for it I created this graphic of a hunter and his dog waiting with anticipation for the season to start as the sun rises.

Latest Skull and Bones Design

An updated Skull and pistols design. Worked on it for a potential client. I modeled the wings after Eagles wings. The pistols are modeled after 1871 Colt .45 and the skull was based on the skull of the Kennewick man with major modifications. I had to extend the pistols barrels to give the proper look.

Facebook Covers & Profile Pics

I put off switching to the new Facebook timeline as long as I could, but being forced to finally transition I have embraced it with gusto. Specifically having fun with the Facebook Cover Photo and Profile Picture. Here are some of the cover photo's and profile picture themes that I've created and posted on my own Facebook site. This is something that anyone who has a Facebook site can do. If you want to create your own Facebook Cover Photo and not want to have to shift an oversize picture around the pixel dimensions you want are: 851 x 315. For your profile picture you can use 300 x 300.

 I've chosen subjects for my pictures that I enjoy. We raise chickens and they are a great source of entertainment. Not mention a great source for homegrown nutritional eggs. When I took this picture of one of the hens I knew I would have to use it. She had this defiant look to her that I found classic.

 I enjoy bar-be-queuing and do so weekly. I found it's the little things that help enhance a photo. Such as adding color to the temperature control icon. I don't really keep the grill on hi when I cook.

 We've had a lot of flies around our house. And during one episode I swatted 6 flies in 2 minutes. I felt proud of my accomplishment and sought to savor it with this parody of a favorite novel of mine from my youth.

 I do enjoy our chickens and they are quite prolific at egg production. The breed we have are called Red Sex-links. So called because they have been bred so that you can identify the hens by the color of their plumage. There are also Black Sex-links.

This final photo seeks to highlight the fact that there are a variety of tools that we have access to. Each item in this photo is a tool. They are inanimate objects. Each tool can be used for good or for evil. For building or tearing down.

Close One

I received the inspiration for this artwork from a photo I saw of a table tennis athlete in the recent Olympics. The frame she was frozen in spoke of more than batting away a table tennis ball. so I added some armor to her, gave her a sword, an adversary that came close and this was the outcome.

Another Hunt Club Logo Design

Here's a logo I designed to present to a potential client who has a hunt club that specializes in hunting deer and turkey. They wanted deer skulls and horns worked into the design. So working off of the Hunt Club name I decided to start the graphic build on a hillside. I went with a font called "Body Hunter", which provided a rough country look to it. I modeled the deer skulls on some graphics I found on Google Images. I based them on trophy deer people had shot and took the antler pattern from them and using some images of deer skulls I reversed patterned what their skull would look like. I basically did the same with the turkey images. I took live pictures of turkey's and then using the black and white setting, and the posterize effect in Photoshop, along with some white coloring I created the turkey images. Their beards weren't long enough, so I lengthened them, as they serve as trophy's for hunters. Don't know what the final images will look like, my partner from  www.hunterbydesign.com was tweaking the images for them. I've found that many people don't know what they want when they initially request a design/logo created to be created for them. You literally have to educate every new client. Such is life.
