Fear Change‽

This is an illustration I created for the TUO*COU apparel line last year. I decided to drop the line after the first shirt and never did anything with it. Like Fight Progress, Fear Change is a satirical motto I feel reflects the ethos of the majority of Tuolumnites. I did the outlines in pen and …

What’s Your Destiny?

Here are some photographs of the finished CD packaging for David Shapireau & West of Next. It is a great album and I am glad I was a part of it. I designed the outside, inside and disc image with a strong western influence to match the name of the band, but don’t let the …

It was Chris’ grandfather’s …

What Would Paris Do?

This is just a taste of the type of art that will be featured in next week’s Artist Survey with Paris Raupach. I loved this piece so much that I had to have it framed in a befitting manner. I think that Corey at Studio West hit the nail on the head when fixed it …
