The Poop Fairy

There is no such thing as the Poop Fairy. But if there was... it might look like the illustration below. The City of Boise is getting ready to roll out a campaign to help remind folks to pick up after their pets. It continues to be a large problem especially in the beautiful Boise foothills and surrounding areas. It was fun to work with several departments of the city to bring this character illustration to life.

Peter And Wendy

I was recently commissioned by Candice Hawkley to create a series of images that came with a set of guidelines that made for fun triptych when all was said and done. Candice approached me with some empty frames, a rough color scheme, and a longtime love for all things Peter Pan. I decided to fuse all these things with her own families history, travels, adventures etc… and the results are below. It was a pleasure to bring Candice's vision to life. I'd also like to thank her for using her professional  photography skills to provided some great images below of the printed products in her home.

River Madness

I was recently commissioned by an old friend to create a image for his brothers birthday. The Zimmerman brothers have been making it a tradition to hit up the North Idaho whitewater event appropriately known as Lochsa Madness. Matt Zimmerman wanted to capture the spirit of their annual sibling adventure in a work of art. The results are below. Thanks "Z" I hope you and your family will enjoy this piece for years to come.

Hyde Park Plumbing

I had a really great time doing several projects for Boise's own Hyde Park Plumbing. Below are images from the creation of their branding, identity, biz cards, and vehicle wrap. If your familiar with Boise's North End neighborhood, then you'll probably see some of the inspiration behind these designs. If your looking for a friendly, experienced, independent, and all around good plumber... give Hyde Park Plumbing a try!

Skate Deck Commission

Below is a piece I created on a skate deck per request of Jason Sherman down in Australia. It is inspired by many of his favorite things in life, his two boys, surfing, and his custom 1948 Harley. The mechanical men are constructed out of parts from his Harley and represent Jason and his young sons. I would not only like to thank Jason, but Australia and New New Zealand in general for all the support over the years.

Valentine For Aids 2012

Below is a piece I created for the annual Valentine For Aids event at The Flying M Coffee House back in February. All proceeds from the silent art auction benefit local citizens living with HIV/AIDS through the non-profit organization SNAP (Safety Net for AIDS Program). It is always a pleasure to work with everyone at the Flying M for a good cause.

Animated Short

This past year I was commissioned by the Boise Art Museum to create a animated short to help both young and old understand why art museums have rules. It is part of BAM's increased effort to educate young people and to enhance their museum experience in Boise and abroad. More educational projects will be revealed in 2012 as BAM celebrates it's 75th anniversary. It was a pleasure to team up with Fishdawg Productions, Terra Feast, and Drew Williams to bring this piece to life. The results are below.
