It’s hard to believe that, after being part of the news team that covered the first Festival of Ice in the Abingtons many years ago, I’m still making contributions to one of the most unique events in Lackawanna County. The Festival of Ice, which is normally held in South Abington Township, Clarks Summit, and Clarks […]
Building a Brand: The Process of Building the Great Lehigh Valley Soccer Festival Logo
Late last year, I was fortunate to be asked to build a logo design for the upcoming Great Lehigh Valley Soccer Festival through my freelance gig with Spectyr Media. As a reference, here is the past logo that was attached to the original email request. Looking critically at the old logo, it was clear […]
Dammit, Lana!
One of my favorite shows of all time, “24,” returns on Monday, May 5, albeit in a shortened version of its former glory. For the uninitiated, “24” is essentially the story of one of the most clutch government agents of all time, Jack Bauer, who stops everything from the assassination of a presidential candidate to […]
Let the Wild Boss Battle Start!
The night Link wore his green clothes and fought evil of one kind and another, his grandmother called him “LEGENDARY HERO!” and Link said, “HYAH!” and he was sent on a wild adventure with a bottle full of red potion.
Defeating evil of one kind or another
Chalk this one up to bedtime stories and video games.
Stars on Ice
In my past day job as a journalist, I was active at several different newspapers including The Abington Journal in Clarks Summit, Pa. One of the biggest events put on by the local business group, the Abington Business and Professional Association, is the Clarks Summit Festival of Ice.
Agents of H.Y.R.U.L.E. | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. plus The Legend of Zelda
What if Link and Zelda were a badass part of the Marvel universe instead of the Nintendo one? I think their gear would look a little like this.
Great Scott, Dr. Light!
So, this got done last night and immediately submitted to one of the daily T-shirt sites. Won’t say which one for fear they’ll reject it and I’ll live a life of eternal sorrow, but let’s be honest: who can deny the magnificence that is Mega Man mixed with “Back to the Future”? I hope I […]
Tragic Hero Brewing Company Completed Logo
This is as finished as Tragic Hero Brewing Company is for now. My friend, who requested the branding for her husband’s homebrewing projects, is expecting her first baby, so I’m not pushing her for any kind of reply. I am, however, anxious to see what the two of them think about my work on the […]
Tragic Hero – An Almost Complete Logo Design
It’s funny. After months of working on this design with a rudimentary color palette, I got kind of attached to the black and blue version I had created. The idea of adding color made me a bit nervous at first – kind of like a new ending revealed to your favorite movie or learning that […]
Do a Barrel Roll (Star Fox / Donkey Kong parody)
“Space. It seems to go on forever. But then you get to the end and the gorilla starts throwin’ barrels at you.” Well, maybe that’s the wrong reference, but you get my drift. I had seen a few of these Donkey Kong spoofs done well in the past, but the obvious one never revealed itself […]
The beginning of a brewery
I’m fortunate that I’ve been able to keep touch with friends that I made in elementary school. I’m even luckier to have them appreciate my design work and put special projects for their loved ones in my hands.
