What is Graphic Design?

I just entered this poster design into a contest I found called, "What is Graphic Design Poster Competition" through a blog search.

Have you ever sen the interior of the Madonna Inn?

Bird Bout

The similarity of birds to humans when in a bout is really humorously interesting. Two birds fighting, over who-knows-what, while other birds cheer them on or just spectate at the feud. I captured this image on a road trip up the Central Coast a few years ago.

Fun + Old Drawings

It has been quite a while since my last confession... I mean, post. I haven't been drawing as much as I would like to so I would like to fill-in the gaps and share some fun drawings that I found in my archives.



The scanner didnt do this drawing justice but is still a fun little sketch.



Portrait of Drew. (not a very good scan either)



I imagine this guy to be out on a Sunday drive in his prized sports car.



Pencil on board of John Travolta.

Storyboards

Straight after college I got the opportunity to storyboard for a 20th Century Fox Searchlight feature film called Slums of Beverly Hills. I was an intern and, no you dont get credit as an intern. Was very bummed but was indeed one of the most exhilarating steps I have ever taken.

These storyboard sketches were done for fun. I wanted to create a Pepsi commercial of a man weaving his way through a jungle to discover a Moai Statue Pepsi vending machine temple.

These are a bit out of sequence but you can get the idea intended.

MagnaDoodle Drawing

I drew this for my 2 1/2 year old son on his Magna Doodle; He is a big fan of trucks.

Bamboo Tree

My bamboo tree on my desk at work. Not completely sure that I am finished with this sketch. I would like to add more color using another medium. Havent found what I want to use yet.

Hospital Bed

Waiting to be taken care of in a holding room at the hospital.

Illustration Friday - Missing

This is my Illustration Friday entry for the subject "Missing"

Desk Buddies

I often find these two guys hanging out together and looking very chummy, so I decided to put them in my sketchbook.

Chicken

This is a drawing of my prized chicken that guards my desk while I am away.

Around the New Office

As I walked down the stairwell of the parking structure in morning on my way to work, I captured an interesting angle on a DHL delivery/pick-up.



A very nice building caught my eye, as I climbed that same stairwell one afternoon which I also found the perfect frame for it conveniently awaiting.

First Sketch

This is the first drawing that went into my Moleskine Sketchbook (Cat, a co-worker of mine, recommended this one to me). I have recently become infatuated with jumbo jets so I decided there wasnt a better way to start off my book.

I used pen for the sketch, added highlighter for the sun-like glow and later Photoshop used for the sky (may go back to this drawing and add the blue with marker).
