New Project: OSUWMC "Change the Future Now" animation
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center asked us to create an animation that casts a vision for the future of medicine based. We worked with OSU to create the illustrations and partnered with Spacejunk Media to build the animation. We are very happy with the results.
New Project: Gånola
Gånola is a brand new startup company with a mission: to make the best granola bars from 100% all natural ingredients--and they have done it! Look for Gånola bars this winter. With unique flavors like Jasmine Green Tea and Bacon Apple Maple, they're a real treat!
Stay tuned, more to come from Gånola.
It’s a Spongebob Christmas! Title designs
I had the opportunity to work on these with the folks at Nickelodeon this spring. I've been eagerly awaiting their official annoucement to post these. I really enjoy doing title work. I'd love to do more.
Loads of website updates
It has been a busy year to say the least. I finally freed up a few days to update the galleries, tweak the site a bit, and add several new projects. So, dig around and check out some of the latest work.
BTW, I am working on some very cool projects that I cannot show yet. I will be blogging and posting all about them when I have the green light to do so. Stay tuned...
The Floorwalkers
Here's a fun project for Columbus' own, The Floorwalkers. They are holding an "end of the world" party at the Newport Music Hall on December 21.
Illustration was done in crayon with help from my 10 year old son, Caleb.
Cambodia 2012
In August, I took three weeks off to visit my church's orphan home in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It was an amazing trip. I kept a private daily blog for my family and close friends to follow. I have had so many people ask me about the experience that I have now made it public. You can check it out here
Design for a new Cbus food truck
Anyone who lives in Columbus knows that some of the best food around is served out of the back of a food truck. Teodora's Kitchen will be no exception.
Jennica Whitt called me this summer to design her logo, menu, signage and truck. Teodora's Kitchen is named after her mother who met a young U.S. serviceman, stationed in Panama. They married and moved to the states. Teodora raised her family on amazing authentic Panamanian food and now her daughter wants to share it with her home town.
Look for Teodora's Kitchen Spring of 2013. It will be worth the stop.

Power Outage 2012
Last Friday evening, Columbus got hit with a pretty nasty storm. It was 95 degrees and sunny until the black wall of clouds moved in. Although it didn't bring a lot of rain, the wind gusts exceeded 85 miles per hour. It toppled trees, damaged homes and snapped power poles around the neighborhood. As of today, Monday, we are still without power and internet. AEP is telling us we should plan on being without power for the rest of the week and possibly into next week.
We are happy to be safe and thankful to say that we didn't have any damage to our house. It's been hot without electricity but we've been sleeping in the basement to keep cool at night.
My friends at Spacejunk Media have been kind enough to let me work from thier office until we are back on-line in Clintonville. So, I'm open for business this week.
