Olive U

This particular design came to me rather suddenly, and was one of the more simplistic designs I made in the series.  The image itself is pretty self explanatory, it's an olive, holding a heart with the letter U on it.  Another successful pun, and popular design at Wondercon 2016 in Los Angeles.  It is entirely digital, made in Illustrator, Painter, and Photoshop.

Caff-Fiend

So most people in my circle are a slave to caffeine, or more specifically...coffee (hence the title).  This illustration was deeply personally for me, and I wanted to capture the vile nature that is coffee and how he lords his power over all his victims (even though I do love him oh so much...so much so, I'm drinking some now...probably even whenever your reading this...yes it's a problem I know)!!  Initially this guy started as a sketch, and was the first of the Dementibles to be fully realized, but he didn't get the full treatment until much later down the line of the manifestation process. He's more detailed than most of his solo counterparts, but it was necessary to illustrate the countertop in order for the coffee scrawled words to be visible. This particular creation (made in January 2016), was also one of the more popular prints I had available at Wondercon 2016 in Los Angeles.  The image is entirely digital, made in Illustrator, Painter, and Photoshop.

Fifty-Fifty

They say no parent has a favorite child, but as a creator I do...this one is probably one of most precious, because the pun is just too good (yes I laugh at my own jokes, get over it)!!!  This particular illustration started first as an ink-line drawing as part of Inktober (2015 I believe).  I enjoyed it so much that it started me down the path (sadly some might say), in creating these adorably demented little anthropormorphic creatures.  Basically to explain (if you need an explanation that is), I created the origins of a Peanut Butter cup who is Fify percent chocolate, and Fifty percent peanut butter, so naturally his parents would need to be a peanut, and bar of chocolate. I had a lot of fun with this one, and it was also sold at Wondercon 2016 in Los Angeles as a print.  The image was created in February 2016, and it is entirely digital, made in Illustrator, Painter, and Photoshop.

Nutjob

Oh when will the puns ever end...not for some time....my friend...sorry... ;0)
This little Nut-job was created rather quickly, as he was a bit more simplistic, but just as punny as his siblings.  My goal here was to illustrate the pun, by personifying the nut (in this case an almond), with the attributes of the modern businessman with all the typical accessories including a Starbucks-ish looking cup.  This guy is all business (heh), including his very serious expression (which could be caused by his massive caffeine consumption).  This image was originally created in January of 2016 and was also for sale as a print at Wondercon that same year in Los Angeles, and is entirely digital, made in Illustrator, Painter, and Photoshop.

Chilly Beans

This pun came from more of a play on words, and as opposed to calling them 'Chili', I replaced it with 'Chilly'.  In order to take the image a step in that pun filled direction, I dressed the beans in winter clothes, and had them all warming themselves on top of a skillet over a trash can style fire, that I designed to resemble a Campbell's Soup can.  This image was much more detailed than many of the other more simplistic Dementibles I had created, but was well received, and a lot of fun.
The illustration was originally made in January of 2016, as part of a series that I made to sell at Wondercon in Los Angeles of that same year.  It is entirely digital, made in Illustrator, Painter, and Photoshop.

Peurh Zen

This image (originally created in December of 2015), was the first of a series (I called Dementibles for lack of a better word), of whimsical designs I created in order to capture my love for puns.  The goal here for me was to create a tea bag that represented the 'zen-like' nature, that tea has come to acquire (as a calming agent).  As in this image and the many more preceding it, I personified the object of the tea bag, and gave it the features of someone achieving 'zen' by putting it into a meditative position.  I made sure that the tea bag's resting area also went along with the theme, by making it appear as a lotus flower.  The image was for sale as a print at Wondercon 2016 in Los Angeles.  It is entirely digital, made in Illustrator, Painter, and Photoshop.

Sweet Life

This logo was originally created in an attempt to illustrate in classroom setting the importance of modernization in order to maintain relevancy with today's sophisticated market.  The logo example was that of Granny's Donuts, a donut franchise who's logo consists of a somewhat antiquated font, and image of an eldery woman.  Here's the images were combined in order to modernize and streamline it's look, eliminating the need for text by creating a more iconic brand image.
