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!

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.

The map art is also used at the Bonneville Dam Fish Ladder viewing area. Bonneville Dam is another great destination in the Columbia Gorge on the Oregon side of the Columbia River.

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.

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

Jud Guitteau is a Northwest boy. Born in Seattle Washington and raised in Eugene Oregon he lives in Portland Oregon with his wife and two kids. 

The family assumed that he would be a dentist which lead to a degree in Biology. Dental school wanted him but he didn’t want them. After traveling and working abroad, it was back to school for a degree in Landscape Architecture. That one stuck for a while and he had a successful design and construction company until he decided to finally do what he had always wanted to do.

In 1988 Jud started illustrating for pay. A life long drawer, sketcher and golfer his early work was often sports imagery. Jud developed a style in pastel and acrylic media characterized by oversized people in stylized settings which gained quick acceptance nation wide. Over the years some of Jud’s clients have included AT&T, MCI, Wall St. Journal, Miami Herald, US Postal Service, JC Penney, British Music Group, Adobe Systems, IBM and Microsoft. His work has appeared in Prints’ Regional Design Annual.

Jud has continually evolved his style and now works in digital media as well as acrylic painting. Many illustrations begin as hand drawings or paintings that are then scanned and manipulated. He has recently started experimenting with adding photography to his illustrations (check out the “Photo Art” button in his Portfolio).

Perhaps one of Jud’s most recognizable images was for Adobe Systems. When Adobe launched Acrobat it was Jud’s illustration that appeared when Adobe Acrobat was opened up on millions of computers around the world.
