Baseball Billboards at Washington Nationals Stadium
The Washington Nationals Baseball team opened their brand new stadium in March 2008 and I am really excited that four of my baseball illustrations are being used on the outside of the stadium. Check it out, they are huge!
Columbia Gorge Resort, Washington State
Skamania Lodge, in the Columbia Gorge, is a gorgeous place. I worked with art director Karen Matheson to produce indigenous Indian art inspired illustrations for their tourist information area. This included several icons that they use for promoting seasonal activities in the Columbia Gorge as well as services and amenities offered at the Lodge. This was a great project to work on. The digital art that I created for the Map of the Gorge, that you see here, was printed and applied as wallpaper on the wall of the information center. It was a really interesting process. Some of the icons were also used in a carpet that was created for the main entry area of the lodge.
Baseball Book Covers
Jim Brosnan is the author of two great baseball books and they have my illustrations on the cover. The Long Season has been rated in the top 20 sports books of all time by Sports Illustrated. Check it out at amazon.com
Magazine Covers
I really enjoy doing these regular covers for IEEE Magazine. The subjects are always way over my head and it’s great fun to try to make sense out of the subject that I am supposed to illustrate. I have also done regular covers for H&R Magazine. Here are two of the many covers I have done for IEEE Magazine.
Thanks to John Kehe at the Christian Science Monitor for this assignment, an editorial image for the newspaper story on tuning up your computer. Yes, the style is quite different from my acrylic work, but I’ve worn a couple different hats as an illustrator for many years.
I have been working over the past few months to kick start a new venture, Gravelly Art, a greeting card company which features, for now, three lines of holiday cards, Yulesville, Retro Xmas, and Filburt’s Ice Follies. Check ‘em out @ gravellyart.com. Here are the top sellers in each of the lines: Read the rest of this entry »
I just finished a map illustration of the Pearl District in Portland Oregon for Ater Wynne Attorneys, with graphic designer Karen Matheson. Check out some of the prominent locations in the Pearl, just don’t think of the map as logistically accurate. Thank you Karen for the opportunity to team up again. (See Skamania Lodge).
