Collection of Illustrations

This is a collection of some commissioned illustrations and some personal illustrations. The monster on the last pages is a character I created on a whim. Being raised on Disney cartoons and having a great love for Walt Disney and his incredible vision has left a mark on my typical illustration style. Some may call it copying, I call it honoring.

UH-60L Black Hawk Project

This project was created to promote the Common Avionics Architecture System, (CAAS), for Rockwell Collins. The cockpit rendering was done in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop as a proposed cockpit, presented to our U.S. Army customer, showcasing our advanced display technology. Once the contract was awarded, the brochures were created to detail the capabilities of the system and further market the product line to a larger audience in the utility helicopter market.

Security Posters

Campaign created for the Rockwell Collins Security team, promoting the new ‘Look. Think. Act’ campaign.

This campaign came to me with a lot of creative flexibility. The customer did not know what they wanted but, knew they did not want a standard ‘corporate’ type of campaign that would not engage the employees. The top poster was the version the customer selected and was used on the web and email campaign, as well as on promotional materials, including tumblers, magnet frames, mouse pads and t-shirts.

Created in Adobe illustrator.

Reimagining Air Travel

Infographic documenting the door to gate, air travel experience. Promoting the capabilities and benefits Rockwell Collins brings to each phase of the process.

Indian Creek Logo Collection

This is a collection of logos I created for a customer with a bait and tackle shop, including high-end, custom fishing poles and lures. These logos were used in a variety of applications, from hats, t-shirts, labels and packaging, as well as social media.

His original logo was the one on the ‘Indian Creek Rods’ logo but, he wanted to do something a little more fun for some of his product line, so I sketched a few bass taking lures and bait in a humorous manner and he selected these ones.

Created in Adobe Illustrator.

Short animation of local lure company logo for video segment used to promote tackle and bait shops in Eastern Iowa.

Posters for Tech Day Executive Visit

Posters created for presentation to company executives from Collins Aerospace, showcasing our advanced technologies across military and commercial arenas.
