Above is an icon I have designed to visually represent what is going on with my face. At 8 weeks of growth (from clean shaven), the picture was taken and edited by my good friend, Will Riggs. See the picture below :{)

Here is a logo that I have been working on for the Lone Star Jeep Club. As you probably know, I am a Jeep enthusiast. I haven’t joined this club yet, but I am hoping I can trade this new logo for a free membership. Let me know if you think this needs something else to be finished. I want to add texture to it eventually, but right now I am focusing on the form and color.
This past year, I was privileged to be the mentor of Olivia Lin. She just graduated from Liberty High in Frisco, Texas (my hometown). Olivia selected me as her mentor for her Independent Study course. Basically, high school students reach out to a professional in a field that they are interested in pursing as a career and are mentored. Olivia’s assignment was to design a poster series of 5-8 posters for the halls of her high school. She decided that her posters would all have the message “be yourself”. In the hallways of a high school, where kids are turning into adults and trying to find themselves, I can’t think of a more appropriate message.
Above is my favorite poster from Olivia’s series. This design has recently been selected for the next year’s freshman class shirt for students and faculty. That means that over 600 will be floating around Liberty High, whose mascot is the “Redhawks”. Even though Olivia will be at UT in the fall, her message of “be yourself” lives on in the halls of the place where she learned to do just that.
You may remember this illustration of “Albert” from a previous post for the Merriman Park Estates logo. After deciding not to use the owl for the logo, I saw an opportunity to make a female owl to accompany Albert. Her name is “Alice”. These prints are now hanging in our breakfast nook, on opposites side of the window, looking at each other.
There is something about a mustache that is very natural. A nice thick stache say, “I love nature, and I am not afraid who knows it.” Maybe this is because the stache was so popular with the hippies? So, keeping with the theme, enjoy the moosetache. Sorry if you have seen this post twice, wordpress has been have some issues lately.
Hello all. I am currently working on logo for a neighborhood in Dallas. Merriman Park Estates was established in the late 50′s. Most of the properties are Ranch-style. Give me some feedback on which direction you prefer, or if you have a different direction I should consider. Thanks.
Some of you may have thought the mustache series died with 2010. Nope. Maybe your lower lip can’t, but you can still enjoy the stache.
A few months back, at the agency I work for in Dallas, we needed to come up with a logo for an internal game that was called “Shopper Safari”. Basically, we were divided into groups and sent out to do research on the surrounding market regarding shopper experience. To convey both “shopper” and “safari”, I came up with a shopping cart with mud terrain tires. I don’t know about you, but I have always wanted to lift a shopping cart and put bigger tires on it. Finally, here it is.
With the weather finally getting colder here in Texas, I thought it was an appropriate time to show the next poster in the mustache series. Simply put, it is sweater weather and your upper lip should not be left out. Give that guy, or gal, the protection they need from the brisk temperatures. Enjoy the stache. Enjoy the warmth.
Do you ever feel like a good idea is right there, but you just can’t quite find it? My advice is to over think it until you run it into the ground. Then, pull it back just a hair or two. You will be rewarded with a nice hairy stache. Enjoy.
Here is the second option for this same poster idea. Let me know which one you think should get “cut”.
