adventures in logo Design...

as most of you know, Logo Design is one of the things i offer to clients... i have had some success with it, but there's also a little history of projects getting "killed"... where i get paid for the work completed, but it isn't what the client wants, and they decide to go with another artist. the example shown here is one such example.

the client was attracted to my work from seeing it on the internet, but ultimately, i think we were not getting through to each other. whatever it was that they wanted, i wasn't quite getting it. i think i learned some lessons for future projects, and i really like the piece, but ultimately it goes into the loss column...

can't win 'em all!

okay, so i got a new Fan art joint from one of my friends on mySpace for Maddy from Champion of Children. being the guy i am, i could not get maddy off my mind ever since, so i've been working on new champ stuff, including doing this new Maddy sketch... stay tuned for new Champ news coming soon (hopefully!)

peace,

mySpace Sketchbook

i've been drawing a lot lately... for those who don't check it regularly, i'd say the mySpace sketchbook section has probably tripled in size since you saw it last! right now it's up to 114 drawings, i think... and i'll probably upload more sketches tomorrow.
recent developments in my life have really made me think about the future... i've been doing more and more freelance work, and looking for ways to REALLY crank things up in 2008... as a result,
i can't stop thinking, so that means i also can't stop drawing!
there's a variety of stuff in the sketchbook... i edited very little. some sketches are comics ideas, wips (works in progress), concept sketches for clients, or just free association doodles from work.
thanks for all the comments... as always, i welcome more!
(money doesn't suck either!)
holla!
